LancsVillan Posted June 26, 2005 Moderator Share Posted June 26, 2005 Have been looking at the respective record for their current clubs and Darius at 35 goals in `07 games is not that much different to Bellamy at 28 in 84. Thing that gets me is the opposition. I know one poster who refers regularly to JPA's record v the 'Top' teams and yet they feel Bellamy is 'class' Well Bellamy has scored once v 'Top' sides and that in a 5-3 defeat wheras Darius has scored against Chels, ManU and Liverplop. missing out v Arse only. So over to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I dont think that either player is a goalscorer, so I'm not sure that gols scored is a fair measure. In terms of what they do as a support striker, making runs behind the defence and pulling defenders away from their strike partner, I think bellamy is better at it, by quite some way.

David-Copenhagen Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Agreed PB - Bellamy is better - Darius needs a confidence boost. I think Angel will be a lot better with The Bell man on his side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahamaad Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Didn't Darius score vs Arse in that famous 3-2 win at VP a few years back under JG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 No - it was Joachim and Dublin (2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablopicasso Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 personally i rate vass as one of the best at pulling defenders away and creating space for other players... we certainly noticed and missed his contribution when we had cole lazily strolling around the pitch... its a shame that vass isnt the greatest finisher as if he was a better finisher, i feel he would rival the best strikers in the country.... although he does need a nasty streak to his game too...

David-Copenhagen Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Really it is not as interessting wich is the best - what we need is quallity up front and currently we only have two players - we need four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted June 26, 2005 Moderator Share Posted June 26, 2005 Of the two, I prefer Darius. Yes, he had a poor and injury hit season last year, whereas all Bellamy did was call his manager a liar, refuse to play in a position he didn't like, get arrested while on Wales duty for fighting in a club, have an on-pitch fight with a team mate, send abusive text messages to his team mates..... Sometimes I really wonder.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melv Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Bellamy may have a bit more talent than Darius, but i'd rather have Darius in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloBarnesi Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 The question is not which is the best player; rather which one can DOL can get the best out of. I ve never thought that DOL gets the best out of DV from day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshvillan Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 it says it all when DV wins the ball off a bolton midfield player takes it down to one on one with their 'decent' keeper, and passes it to him, thats when i choose the irritating sheep shagger over DV.

SoccerHQ Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 We certainly need a new Striker but i'm not sure Bellamy is the right one to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voted for Dazz Vass too. For precisely these reasons. However, it would be quite nice to have the pair of 'em in the same line up - the pace of those two would scare the sh*t out of almost any premiership side ....

irishmangiant Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Welsh git for me - he has the speed and the finish.. DV only has the speed. We can't get emotional because Darius is from Birmingham... this is a football club and it needs moved forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't get emotional because Darius is from Birmingham... this is a football club and it needs moved forward. so explain the difference in scoring ratio - oops it's pretty much the same explain why bellamy scores so many against the 'better' team - oops he doesn't IMO we are getting carried away because it is a forward, which we do need, and the fact he's £5-6m. And this supposed 'nastiness' we need - WHY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted June 27, 2005 Moderator Share Posted June 27, 2005 Hasn't Bellamy had periods of missing sitter after sitter? Where's WMNG when you need him, bloody Jocks. Whilst Darius isn't the greatest finisher in the world there's no way he misses the sitters that Bellamy does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Well Bellamy isnt coming anyway, so doesnt matter. Would rarther look forward to seeing Luke come through and become a better finisher than both As it looks like he is our summer striker signing!
