Can Anichebe be as good as Benteke/Lukaku/Drogba?

[pfim]

In the Premier League it took Benteke 32 games to score 18 goals.

It took Anichebe 127 goes to get the same figure.

And Benteke is 3 years younger.

I like Anichebe, he's a valuable player, but comparing him to these 3 just doesn't make a lot of sense.

i dont get comparisons

just be happy the lad is starting to finally do a job for us, or we'll never be happy with him

Benteke is not Ronaldo or Messi, he his a direct powerful centre forward that have come and gone in the past; defenders will adpapt to his game, thats why you wait till the second season. People are assuming that because he has a bit more to his game than Jelaivc he will automatically be some 20+goal a season striker year on year. It won't happen, in fact I don't think he'll get into double figures next year, he's in the same mould as Cisse; he'll score some crackers but his all round play is clumsy

Who is assuming he'll be a 20 goal a season striker though ?

That double figures remark will be vaulted massively next year.

At 25 I´d say he´s hit his peak.

He´ll get wiser as the seasons go but I don´t expect him to come on leaps and bounds goal scoring wise.

I do think he´s a good player though.

 

[mawders]

he is on an upward trajectory which I never ever thought he would be. If he continues that trajectory next season then we will have a valuable member of the squad.

He'll never ever ever get close to Drogba. Never ever ever

****e player

If he scores the winner at the derby he will be better than Messi and that is a FACT.
