Both class players on their day and accomplished finishers. However both could infuriate you how lazy they were on occasions (even levelled at rom nowadays). Yak's smile and celebration especially during that great UEFA cup run wins the day.
 
Saha was borderline world class at his best, but that was something we never saw at Everton.

Yakubu gets my vote, as pre-achilles injury he was the best striker I've seen at the club.
 
Yak... loved him was a proper poacher. Put a ball into the box, any ball and yak was there to finish it. Had a natural talent for knowing where to be in the box.
 

Like has been stated, Saha was a firm class above the Yak but he wasn't really that here. He was at United. He was great on his day, crap the rest. For their tenures here, Yakubu by a country mile and a half. Not even close.
 

Yakubu was the final piece of the jigsaw moyes needed IMO, when we got him I was amazed but as always with Everton something goes wrong - his injury.

Saha was a great finisher too, difference between Yak and Louis is that Saha was past his prime but we could do with Louis or Yak as back up to Romelu now.

Tough one to call but im going with Saha based purely on him scoring for us in a final. Loved the Yak though.
 
On his day Saha was the most complete striker I've seen at Everton in the PL era. Yak was a beast but the injury destroyed him. Moyes didn't destroy Saha, he was already broken when we got him.

I'm gonna go for Saha, though, for making John Terry look absolutely ridiculous if nothing else.
