Let me fall out the window
With confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or better
On a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past

Many top players come from the Eredivisie; Ibrahimovic, Van Persie, Van der Vaart, Vlaar, Elia, Stekelenburg and more. Even in the old days there came players like Kluivert, Van Basten and Cocu. And now with this guy and talents like Depay...

Hah, a list with Elia, Cocu and Stekelenburg, but no Ronaldo, Romario or Bergkamp.

I think those are Game of Thrones characters. Speaking of which, I've got some great Jozy-themed branding opportunities I'd like to share with Mr. Altidore's Twitter PR hypeman.

Hello, Jozy, my old friend
Teammates passed you the ball again
Toward the goal you're softly creeping
Show the fans that you are sleeping
As you fall again you'll hear that no one
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

Makes me think you're weirdly defensive about the Dutch league.

It's not as good as you think it is, nor is it as bad as you seem to think other people think it is merely because they understand that scoring a lot of goals in it isn't a good test of a striker's quality.

I genuinely can't, even Jason Lee had more goals in the Premier League than Jozy. Park Chu Young maybe, but he's played 8 minutes of league football.

For Graham's Prem record to be worse than Jozy's he'd have to not score for another 352 games, thats 9 seasons.

I genuinely think Jozy has the worst Prem goalscoring record of any striker who has played a decent number of games.

I can't think of a single worse player to have played over 50 games in the premier league.

Jozy only needs 12 in his next 23 games to match Jason Lee, and for most of those games he will have had a full pre-season at Sunderland to acclimatise.

Lol

So at his current scoring rate in the Premier League he needs another 12 seasons to match Jason Lee's goal tally.

I could think of plenty equally useless just looking at old Sunderland strikers. Andy Smith, Jon Stead, Daryl Murphy, David Healy. All equally woeful.

e; Misread your post, didn't realise you meant current strikers. Still, these players were all regular startes in the Premier League at one point.

john steed: 13 premier league goals over three seasons
Daryl Murphy: 4 in three seasons but didnt he play as a winger?
David Healy: 4 in three seasons


all better than jozy and i bet none of them came close to costing eight million pounds

All three have better Prem goals per game than Jozy. Murphy comes closest with a goal every 18 games compared to Jozy's goal every 26.5, so if Jozy scores in his next game we can safely say that he's as good as Daryl Murphy.
