Torres and Villa are nowhere near, Id say cavani is comfortably better than pipita too.

The only way we'd be able to tell is if some organisation got them all together at some kind of camp, and had them all do some tests and competitions and publish the results. But even then, there's the complication of bad form, or an 'off' day affecting some of the players.

I honestly think there is no point in trying to come up with a top 5 or a top 10, because there simply isn't a correct list. Fair enough, list your personal top 10, but to argue with each other is pointless, because everyone has their own opinion and no-one is right.

Torres and Villa on form are better, but not at the moment.

My friend he is making a joke, calling it top 5, which is what Scott is arguing against.

My friend, I am aware. However, master Scott is a very vain man, and even when people insult him, he gets erect with pleasure. One cannot be too careful.

Apologies for doubting you knowing something like this, I should have known better.

That's not sharing an opinion, that's stating something as if it's a fact.

No, I just correctly assumed that he knew I was sharing an opinion, not fact.
