Ronaldo destroyed there before even becoming a striker. Costa is doing about the same even with his never ending injury. Aguero is doing great. Torres did alright (with Liverpool :p). Teves did great. You can't cherry pick a few exceptions and draw conclusions. A lot of strikers actually say that scoring in the prem is easier because you have so much space (Suarez and Teves said something like that). I don't think that scoring in the prem is easier. I think that the style of the striker might lead him to do better or worse in certain leagues, but the myth that scoring in the Prem is harder is wrong.

That's why I said 'some'. Tell me, how has Falcoa done this season? What happened to Shevchenko? It is known that many footballers that do well in Europe struggle in the Prem, well sometime not struggle but get nowhere near the same performances. This said, I mainly want to see him in the Prem to see him in the Prem week in week out, I don't watch Spanish football. :P

No, it is not a well known fact. It's what some Premier League fans want to believe. And that's what I meant by cherry picking a few, but you even did the cherry picking horribly. Falcao came off a major injury and after that he was not the same even before Manchester. Shevchenko was way past his prime. You should have listed Soldado (a popular choice for people who claim scoring in the prem is harder) for example.
