Its time for the impo Deion Sanders Jersey sible question of the week. Who is the best forward in the Premier League? Some people might say that Fernando Torres pace and clinical finishing makes him the sure fire choice for the majority. Others may claim that Wayne Rooneys drive and determination set him apart from the rest. Several supporters may find that the craft and guile of Robin Van Persie is easy on the eye whilst biased Sunderland and Tottenham fans wouldnt swap Darren Bent or Jermaine Defoe for anyone else.However, there is one strikerwho is currently performingon a different level in my personal opinion. The life of Didier Drogba as a footballer has never been plain sailing. After taking his time to impre s in France, he was snapped up for apricey24 million by Chelsea in 2004, which was seen as a large risk at the time. In Drogbas initial months in England, he was often accused of cheating and trying to con referees into giving him free kicks and penalties. Drogba never helped his cause by publicly stating that he tries to win penalties throughout the course of a game.In patches during the last couple of years, his strength and aerial prowe s have made him fairly unplayable. A lack of consistency combined with his tendency to fall out with his manager have stopped him making the progre sion from one of the best around to quite simply the best about.Under Luis Scolari in 2008, Drogba found himself out of favour and quite often on the bench. When Guus Hiddink took over, the Ivory Coast striker seemed to find the form that had seen him justify his 24 million price tag. So far during the 09/10 campaign, Chelsea has scored41 goals. 22 of those have either been scored by Drogba (12), laid on with an a sist from the Ivorian (7) or scored from the penalty spot once hes been brought down in thearea (3). That means that 54% of the goals Chelsea have scored have come about at least because of Drogbas direct involvement.To make this more impre sive, the strikerhasnt played in three of theChampions League games so far or in one of the Carling Cup ties against QPR. 34 goals have been scoredin thematchesthat Drogba has played in.Therefore, that meansa staggering 65% ofChelseas goals have come as a result of Drogba whenhe isin the team.In the past, some wild antics andridiculous behaviour has tarnished his reputation and overshadowed some rather impre sive performances. Who could forget the forwards furious referee rant caught live on television after Chelsea were eliminated from the Champions League last season against Barcelona. So far under Carlo Ancelotti, Drogba has avoided any controversy which is probably a large reason why he is in the form of his life.Not everybody will agree with that a se sment as football is a game of opinions. Different characteristics in a players game appeal to different people. In truth, there is no right or wrong answer to the argument of who is the best striker in the Premier League, as long as you can make an argument of course. Traditional supporters may make a case for Kevin Davies physical style of play as being a rarity Jaylon Smith Jersey these days. Nothing is ever set in football and this time next week, the whole country may betalking abouta superb hat-trick or berating a stars fall from grace.
