@ Hectic...I prefer to watch the games to form an opinion also. Only problem is that we all watch the games...and yet come up with different opinions. I just thought that I would use the stats to break the deadlock
.
I would be devestated if Chelsea signed Shevchenko. He is one of my favourite players and in my opinion, the best striker in the game today. He is one of only a few strikers that I would truely be happy to swap for RVN.
Whilst on the topic of stats though...here is the ACTIM Top 100 players for season 2006:
