He is better finisher than both. If he improved his all round game he could become a starter like them.

He can become just as good if he improves both his strength and overall abilty outside of the box and he is doing well so far with both. Over 90 or so minutes he no long tries to make all of his runs through the centre to beat the offside trap, he actually runs into the channels alot more than I remember him doing at the start of the season.
He also needs to improve quite abit with his ability with the ball at his feet, perhaps devlop a little more dribbling ability. He's a better finisher than Rooney already and is a least as good as Villa. Whether he needs to become as much of an all rounder to be a good as those two remains to be seen.
Than Villa? Is he feck, Villa is the most clinical striker in the world and has been for many a year now. I think he'll be great at what he does do, which is score goals, I just can't see him having the all round game. I think he'd struggle as a lone striker.
It's a bit unfair to compare him to those 2 though. I just think it's crazy talk to suggest he'll be the worlds best player/striker.
How old is David Villa?
29.
So Hernandez has a few years to prove that he could become the best striker in the world yet!
I don't agree. Villa scores a lot of goals, but he also misses plenty. Chicarito is more clinical than Villa.
Comparing him to villa is more apt as they're similar, if he improves his strength the sky is the limit. Can't compare him to Rooney though.
Seeing Villa's recent finishing I'd say Hernandez right now is a better finisher than Villa.
max 2 years. but at the rate he is going, I wont be surprised by next season.
I am also worried Real will come a calling

Averaging a £45m profit straight into the Glazer's pocket
did Fergie hint a new contract will be offered the lad?
I watched the game against Paraguay and he was terrific, especially in the first half. His movement is just amazing at times - watch his second goal closely and you see that he positions himself outside the defender's view then darts to the near post and slots home, all in one movement. Classic poacher's goal there.
Needs time to demonstrate he can keep his finshing at the same consistant level that Villa did over 4 or more seasons with Valencia. Despite Villa possibly being out of form he has been doing it for the last 4 seasons.
Yes he is. Examine their goals per shots percentage closely.
No. He has just been the most consistent goal scorer. He hasn't been the best finisher around at any point. Not with men like Ruud still playing football.
He doesn't have to be the world's best striker to be the world's best finisher.
Red Chief comes through and clears things up, we thank you
Spot on Chief
No, he's an absolute cock who knows nothing about football. Nothing. Not even one bit. fecking retard.
Yes, please
The lads fist class,we do not need to compare him to anyone else,he will be the reason berbs goes,because theres no way berbs can get in ahead of this kid on current form.Am I glad we got him.You can shuff david villa where the sun does not shine.
He already is up there with the best finishers in the world IMO. For him to become the best striker, it's a long shot in itself, he would have to become a lot stronger and more physical, improve his hold up play and ability to play clever passes. I would like to see some of the shots from on the edge of the area like he did in his chivas days the instinctive shooting, creating space with the ball at his feet in the box... There are many assets he could add to his game but just improving what he is currently excellent at will make him undroppable.
Berbatov has a real challenger here, especially when he develops an becomes more complete so he can compete to start in every game.
Honestly, David Villa has more variety with his goals because he scores from range with both feet a bit more often and takes freekicks. But I'm not sure Hernandez is a worse finisher. And I think because of his extra mobility, Hernandez has better movement than Villa who till that point, probably had the best movement of a striker in world football.
This is it really, Villa hasnt been in top top form for club for a couple of seasons. 2 seasons ago for Valencia he was amazing, scoring almost every chance and converting half chances where he didnt really have a right to score.
Last season he missed plenty, this season he's missing plenty. Its comparing a player on absolute top form with a player who isnt in great form.
For Spain, till the world cup where he started playing left wing, Villa was still absolutely ruthlessly clinical. But in recent times he hasnt had that same killer edge with Spain either
Villa can set up goals as well as score though, so to me there's no comparison. Villa is by far the superior player
true
Is our Chicharito Muslim ?
Yeah, he's from Mexico after all, a nation synonymous with Islam.
No he is devout Catholic, which is why he is such a good player in some respects, I have no doubt about it.
Im of the opinion that he will express himself more next season and show us a wider variety of shots and finishes when he feels comfortable and able to take more responsibility. He knows exactly where the goal is and currently he is not taking too many risks, playing the safer option and bedding himself in, soon enough he will have settled and will show he has a lot more to offer.
For sure, I dont think anyone questioned that. But you can see why the comparison is made as Villa's goals come from speed and well timed movement and great finishing, same as with Hernandez. Also Valencia were the club who were interested in him, when we signed him
What has being a devout Catholic have in common with being a good player in whatever respect you are talking about.
He does the cross at the end of the praying but sits down on his knees like they do in Mosques which is confusing - hence the question.
The fact that he isnt running around fecking whores like Wayne Rooney, probably has a good effect on his overall game. Nothing wrong with being a good Catholic
Think it says it all when we are on here after less than 1 full season compairing him with David Villa,what a signing.

womanizing has nothing to do with how good you are at sports.....

i know what you mean, imagine if he was a womanizer like erm Best...would have been shit!!! oh wait...
And that Tiger dude is decent at golf....
Am I misnderstanding this? The whole discussion on religion playing a part in how good a footballer is is sillyness, but is there a dual layer of sarcasm in the above post that I am missing? Best was not Catholic.
nothing to do with his faith.
the theory that has been presented is, that a person who is religious will be superior as a player to someone who is a womanizer.
In that context the Best example is valid.
I thought the theory he proposed was that a good player with religion will be better than a good player without - not that any religious player will be better than any non-religious player.
