If you like quick wingers that run at and can take on defenders, may I also point you in the direction of Gary Teale.
Funny you should ask who I think has a better scoring rate than Moses as I have just compiled it on another thread. As you will see, Moses as the same scoring rate as Ryan Taylor, and nearly half that of Emile Heskey.
Amr Zaki 2.9
Aroune Kone 3.5
Henri Camara 3.5
Jason Roberts 4.3
Marcus Bent 4.4
Hugo Rodallega 4.7
Charles N’Zogbia 5.5
Emile Heskey 5.5
Franco Di Santo 6.2
Lee McCulloch 6.6
Antonio Valencia 7.8
Jordi Gomez 8.3
Jimmy Bullard 9
Ryan Taylor 9.3
Victor Moses 9.3Your referral was about Moses not passing the ball to someone who was more capable of scoring. Not who had scored the most goals. Moses didn’t even play with half of the ones you list above.
I think the point is pretty clear that passing the ball to any of the other 10 members in the squad would have resulted in more goals. If Moses had been much more inclined to make a pass more often, Rodallega would have probably scored a hat full for us.
Standish, I’m afraid I agree with you again. I too rated Gary Teale as a winger. The point I’m trying to make was how Teale became one of our all time favourites amongst the fickle boo boys when things weren’t quite going right, despite having very similar attributes to the over-hyped Moses. I’m sure those people that slagged off Teale all loved Moses because, as you said, of the few moments of trickery shown on Match of the Day.
