Calvin Andrew
Aaron Wilbraham
Alexander Sorloth

Who would you pick?

Right now I would say its between Andrew and Sorloth as Wilbraham at least used to look like he was trying.

Sorloth is still young, he needs time to settle. He has played 400 minutes in total in the Premier League without scoring a goal, but I've seen worse debuts. In fact, he had a perectly valid goal last season that was wrongly disallowed.

For me, worst has got to be Benteke. People keep going on and on with his season in which he scored 15 goals. But it was actually 13 goals from open play cause even my grandma can take 2 penalties won by others and he played a lot, almost 3000 minutes the entire season!!!! 13 goals in 3000 minutes is on average a goal every 250 minutes, which is really bad for ANY striker in the Premier League! And in the following seasons we know what happened: he was even worse...

Sure, Sorloth's stat is worse, but it's been a young kid's debut, that is always harder.

Harsh on benteke, he’s proved in several seasons he can score goals, his confidence is just shot to pieces. It doesn’t make it any less frustrating though. Stick with him guys, he’s a good player and needs our support.

We are a struggling Premiership side, not the bl**dy Priory for traumatised strikers..... if the problems in his head let him get a psychologist to sort it out!

Benteke for me.

Gets paid £5 million a year and looks like he doesn't want to be on the pitch. If I got paid that much, I'd at least be self motivated.

Wilbraham was free and his wages were peanuts, always put in a huge amount of effort, just lacked ability.

Sorloth hasn't looked great but has hardly any game time, where as Benteke has had chance after chance and still been rubbish.

Benteke. £30million worth of poor striker. All this “he has lost his confidence” rubbish. He looks like he can’t be ars*d. Doesn’t ever run after a defender to win the ball back. Pathetic for the money he’s on!!

Yep. Totally agreed. He bangs in a cup winning goal, then all the money is worth it, but as a value/expectation for money purchase, easily the worst.

OTOH on effort, attitude and quality I'd say it was Bumfluff.

How many people would be sticking up for Wilbraham if we were struggling in the Championship after losing to Watford 5 years ago?

Man missed about 5 clear 1 on 1 chances to make sure went up but had to leave it to a Kevin Phillip's penalty.

That important game aside though, Calvin Andrews probably isn't rich, same with Wilbraham and Sorloth can't be judged yet but looks like a young kid that was added with no real plan and it's not his fault.

So yep, I'm with Benteke.
