Poll: Best Winger in the PL?

[Tom84]

Im equally confused what with 21 people selecting Nani over Valencia/Bale.

And it does say winger, not striker, so his goals aren't as relevant as the assists. (not that i've seen any official stats.)

The thing is, modern day 'wingers' are often a different breed from your outschool wingers with "white on their boots" hugging the touchline and pinging crosses in to the CF. With formations like 4-3-3 especially the likes of Walcott are expected to contribute goals as well as assists. Ultimately both stats are important, during his last two seasons in England Ronaldo was arguably the best and that was as much down to his goalscoring as anything else.

Edit: I know I touched on it before but seeing Young with so few votes (less than AOC and Downing!) is a bit of a shame.

you expected some kind of realistic answer from Tom on this?

 

[Tom84]

Where do all these votes for Bale keep coming from? cm and his ghost accounts?

 

[cm1179]

sensible people who know he is by far the best winger in the prem

 

[Tom84]

Yeah that cant be it

I went for Valencia but it was between Valencia and Bale really.

Valencia is the best "winger", Bale is stronger overall though.

 

[Dark Kyon]

Bale is much stronger but he does lack the experiences. No doubt he has the talent.

 

[Tom84]

Just noticed other has 70 votes compared to Bales 60 odd. Looks like 'other' will be going into the team then

 

[Gilly]

Other has to be Silva!

 

[Tom84]

Other has to be Silva!

If that's the case then he'll surely get no votes in the poll he'll actually be included in then

 

[Dark Kyon]

I wouldnt class Silva as a winger. More of a attacking central midfielder
