Hemed or Ulloa - Who's Better?

[Seagull58]

Depends what you want from your striker. Hamed he better all round link up but Ulloa is a more natural scorer.
Hamed also is a worker and literally runs himself in to the turf. I can think of a few games he's run so far and worked so hard he is spent by 75 mins

I never saw Hamed play for us. When was he here?

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Ulloa but Hemed is a great buy and very happy

 

[Biscuit]

Ulloa was a ten million pound striker. Hemed could be. Very smart signing. Just as inspired as Goldson, Kayal, Rosenior, Knockaert and Skalak.

 

[chaileyjem]

Ulloa is light years ahead of hemed

His goal scoring record isn't.

1.Ullloa
2.Murray
3.Hemed

All good players but Hemed is a definite 3rd on my list.

Hemed has looked a completely different player when playing in a formation similar to what Leo was fighting against.

Leo in this team, playing this season, could have set records.

This.
Leo would've scored about 30 this season & we'd be promoted already

On the back of his recent hat-trick performance, Hemed's goal tally has reached 16 for his first season in England. I'm sure most Albion fans would have been overjoyed with that turnout, at the start of the season.

But, who do you think is the better striker - Tomer Hemed, or Leonardo Ulloa?

Personally, I would go with Hemed. He seems to have a bit more technique to his play style, I feel his commitment to the team is slightly higher, his discipline record is better and he's already matched Ulloa's full season goal tally, with four games still to play.

Both are equal to me, simply because I don't want to compare them both. Both play football with a smile and bang them in, that's enough for me!

Ulloa for me. It isn't even close. But Hemed has improved dramatically the last couple of months.

 

[Colossal Squid]

For me Ulloa is still a better striker but I really do like Hemed and have enjoyed his performances to date immensely

On a related theme, do people think they'd work together as a strike pairing? Would be lacking in pace but Hemed's work rate would surely offer up a lot of chances to Leo

 

[Invicta]

Hemed cos he plays for us ! Loved Leo tho. Happy for him today.

 

[Marshy]

His goal scoring record isn't.

Hence my point, Ulloa played up front on his own and did not enjoy the likes of our current set of wingers

Hemed is doing great but for me not a patch on ulloa

 

[MattBackHome]

Ulloa by some distance.

 

[chaileyjem]

although then again, we have rotated strikers frequently this season so i imagine the minutes played are rather similar

In 2013/14 Ulloa appeared on the pitch for 2665 league minutes and scored 14 league goals and 5 assists.
In 2015/16 Hemed has (so far) appeared on the pitch for 2867* league minutes and scored 16 league goals and 6 assists.

Ulloa has an extra dimension to him in my opinion, it is no mystery that Leicester bring him on as a goal threat but with the ability to defend, he did it for Brighton and he does it for Leicester. The penalty yesterday was class as well

 

[chaileyjem]

Ulloa for me. It isn't even close. But Hemed has improved dramatically the last couple of months.

In 13/14 Ulloa also went many games without scoring (after his suspension/injury).
When he came back he had one period where he scored 4 in 17. His goal scoring record is actually very similar to Hemed's.

 

[brightn'ove]

Tomer just drove past me and up close I have to say he is certainly the better looking of the two

 

[Marshy]

I do think Ulloa is the better player.

But i do think Hemed suffers because he has no decent song like Leo had....a decent song makes a crowd favorite

That's fair enough, but I wasn't actually comparing their goal scoring records. The question was who we'd prefer to have, and I'd take Ulloa every time because he's a better, more rounded player (in my opinion).
