I'm gonna go with O'Brien White personally.
Barrett
O'Brien White
Gerba
The next striker we sign
Doesn't matter, De Ro will still outscore them all
Who will be our top scoring striker this year?

lol. let's wait until beginning of preseason when we will have better idea who's in the team. i have a feeling there's going to be at least one striker coming in

O'Brian White.
^ I certainly HOPE so...
Yes I accounted for that Mr. Can'twaittillthepollsup.Originally Posted by Yohan
Dear Ali,
Please trim down your fat ass. You don't want Preki to put you on the Chubby Chaser.
Then maybe you'll score more goals

DeRo will have more space and will score 12 goals this year. The next top scorer will probably score 10 and it will be Obie.
I have no faith in our strikers. Other than DeRo, they have NO killer instinct.
¡Vamos Celta!
No killer instinct? Both of White's goals of the week were fairly impressive.
I think once he gets a full season, with a decent strike partner and service he can get 10, yeah.

I think it'll likely be whoever we sign, with Ali Gerba as a "dark horse" in the race.

Premature question before we go through off season movements.
I will hold my judgement to see how OBW does after a full training camp and preseason with the team but I am going with Barrett
I have a great track record when it comes to projections. I am tellin' ya...put money on it.
Last year people thought it would be Vitti.
I found that funny at the time as I'm sure everyone else did as well.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it will be Gerba since he'll have a preseason with the team, and hopefully get some decent playing time.
DeRo, for now...
ok who said barrett? that guy couldn't score in a womens prison with a hand full of pardons.
I will again put it out there, I still think Gerba will, if given/earning enough playing time and baring another striker comming in.
Obie....
A full healthy season, I like the possibilities...
Although De-Ro will be right up here...
I get the feeling this is the yr where they could end up tied for goals,
the yr after that, OBW takes off with a ton of goals, while De-Ro slows it down and begins playing lower-scoring type of style, (as most players do when they begin their career wind-down)
I went with Gerba because I feel the grass pitch will help improve his game to greater lengths than others. He plays a tight game and the new, less bouncy surface should take away a lot of random giveaways while holding the ball.

CB9 aka Chad Barrett
This year will be Barrett's year.
I dont care if Stefan Frei is our leading goalscorer I just dont want us to rely on Ali Gerber or Chad Blow-it!!
Gerba cannot catch a ball and Barret had twice as many chances as any other player on the team.
Lets hope a good striker from europe has a mental breakdown and decides to come play in the MLS for a fraction of his regular pay.
Barrett.
If DeRo is our leading scorer again either we're in a hell of a lot of trouble or he needs to spend more time taking care of the mid, JDG aside.
Was not impressed with Gerba at all despite some people insisting he was the answer to every striking question we've had.
OBW did look good when given the chance. I'd like to see him over the full 90 a little more though.

At the moment I'd have to say White. I hope Gerba gets fit and gets some service. I still think he can do the job for us.
He noted in the RedNation Online interview that his wonky knee gave him problems all season, that he had trouble getting fit due to inability to put in enough time.
gerba seriously?? you guys are crazy, he doesnt have the skill to be leadding goal scorer. Hes lucky to get 5 goals.
Id say with help Dero will score more goals this year. White might be really good to.
Barrett had the chances, if only he can learn how to finnish he could get alot more goals this year.

If the back of the opposing net were to be littered with pies, my vote would go to Gerba...
^ Have either of you ever seen Gerba play for our national team, against competition that is generaly better then the MLS? He has the skill, the issue is fitness and service. He gets those he can score plenty in this league. I do not think of Barrett as a striker anymore.
