Dzeko may have had a better single season scoring wise than Raul, but I questioned your initial statement of saying Dzeko has scored more goals than Raul.noise said:That's the best I could come up with, because there is no stats which include minutes played for Raul's earlier years. But like I said compare Raul's best season with 32 goals scored to Dzeko's 36 goals scored, in a tougher league, playing for a mid table team, also not hogging opportunities since Grafite scored just as many that season.pudge said:You are, the stats you posted were of the last 9 seasons they had each played.noise said:Ronaldo, Messi, Ibra to name a few.

I am not. Compare their best seasons side by side. Dzeko still has a more impressive record.
You used those same stats to say Dzeko had scored more than Raul.
To base that on solely the last 9 seasons, with Raul at 28-36 years of age, is a rather weak and diluted argument. It's like comparing Kevin Phillips and Dzeko this season
In his first 9 seasons, Raul put the ball in the back of the net far more often than any striker let alone Dzeko. Regardless of minutes, which is another variable..
