It's just not a real thing. The diffference between top class strikers and everyone else is how many opportunities they get.


Kos waaaay better than Mustafi is now.

Mustafi looks better than Vermaelen, fwiw. I think he will develop into a great centerback but we fans need to let him get there first instead of just saying he is.
It's a factor but not the difference between top class. Was Adebayor in that elite bracket? He'd often carve out a lot of chances. I disagree on this one. Some of the best strikers in football would have quiet games but bury that one chance they had in the dying moments of the game. That's the mark of an elite striker. I think what your describing about chances comes down to good athleticism and that's different to actually being a good striker. Put Walcott up front and he'll get chances.

As for Kos...I'm don't mean now, I mean his first couple of seasons. He wasn't very good.
