Another great goal by Ibrahimovic last night. Tommy needs to get Sky into his house then he might change his opinion. He hasn’t been great against English opposition, when I saw him last year at the San Siro against Manchester United I was disappointed with his performance. I had seen him the weekend beforehand against Bologna and he looked quite impressive, great touch of the ball and was hoping he would nick a couple of goals against United.

I think that it was a master stroke by Guardiola to sign the Swede. He gives them so many more options: great finish, control, can hold the ball up and an aerial threat. Peter Crouch a poor mans Ibrahimovic?

Honestly, although I am a huge fan of Xabi, he hasn’t performed to the level he achieved at Liverpool last season. However, Pellergrini’s side was a bit of a shambles at the start of the campaign and it will take time for all the players to bed down into a unit.

Lassana Diarra has been their most consistent performer (although he had a bit of a shocker against Barca!) from the centre of midfield. He has shown all the qualities that Arsenal need in their engine room, so for them it’s a huge shame that his face didn’t quite fit at the Emirates.

And Tommy I understand your point but he really does have to be seen on a weekly basis before he is judged. He has been superb this season. Without him, Barca look a shell of the team (bar the hosting of Inter in the Champions League when they were irresistible!).

I think he will finally live up to his billing in Europe this year and be instrumental to Barca’s success in the competition.

Torres wins hands down, Drogba really can be unplayable at times also though. Whenever I have seen Ibra he had been pathetic, against english teams or not. To be world class you have to be world class against everyone. Not just in a poor Serie A or a La Liga with no defences?

Well after England, and seeing as Ireland are out, unless they get that 33rd spot :P Spain will be the team I’m rooting for. How would you rate Xabi Alonso’s impact at Real? I haven’t seen as much Spanish football as I would have liked.

Ibra doesn’t receive enough plaudits in this country for those exact reasons, but to see him week-in week-out in Serie A or La Liga is an absolute joy!

He became the first player in Barca history to score in their first four games and, when you consider the phenomenal strikers the club has had, it is some achievement!

Villa leads the La Liga scoring chart – ahead of Ibra – with 10 goals from 11 games and looks unstoppable at the moment.

His record for Spain is unbelievable. He has a ratio of over a goal every two games! I think the forthcoming World Cup will be his tournament and may even leave Torres in the shadow (which is almost unthinkable!).

Having said that Drogba is a fantastic all round striker and I thought he was immense yesterday.

The reason I asked the question is mainly due to the fact in England, Ibrahimovic doesn’t seem to receive as many plaudits. Maybe that is because he hasn’t really impacted on games when he has faced English opposition? But by all accounts I gather he was worshipped in Italy and I guess now in Spain?

I haven’t seen much of David Villa this season. I would love to see him in England, which according to Sid Lowe could soon be a reality. Where do you rate Villa in comparison to Ibrahimovic and Torres? Even more clinical than El Nino?

I’m glad you asked because it does frustrate me when Ibra isn’t mentioned in the same breath as Torres and Drogba by our beloved pundits are clamouring to name the ‘best striker in the world’.

But, I would have to say Torres. His speed, power and prolificacy in front of goal – 60 goals in 96 games for Liverpool – make him the stand-out choice for me.

At Liverpool (when both are available to start alongside each other!) he enjoys the service of arguably one of the greatest players in the world, Steven Gerrard, but if he were to turn out for Barca and be assisted by Xavi, Iniesta and Messi, he would be unstoppable.

I would have no doubts about him finishing as the European Golden Shoe winner in every season at the Catalan club!

Also worthy of a mention alongside those three is Valencia’s David Villa who has been in incredible form this season!

Who would be your choice?

A question for Mark, who would you choose Ibrahimovic, Torres or Drogba to lead your front line?
