Best strikers in the Premier league...ever!

[RobM]

Pick any three from the list.

Surprised at the results..:smile:

 

[Uncle Leo]

Not sure I would class Ronaldo as a forward, but difficult to leave him out.

 

[banjo saviola]

Great poll! I went Ronaldo, Cantona & Shearer.....hard to leave the others out though...

 

[dloman]

There are some top scorers missing such as Fowler, Cole, Sheringham, Wright and Owen, though possibly the only one I would include is Owen.

 

[Pubey]

Ronaldo wasn't a striker at United.

 

[ian_the_girth]

No love for Van Nistelrooy? 150 league games 95 goals. Ball in net.

 

[Jam_Man]

No Cole or Van Nistelrooy is scandalous.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Cantona is king, and I say that having the proper disrespect for Manure.

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

Ronaldo shouldn't be included.

All of these should:
Cole
Owen
Fowler
Yorke
Wright
RVP
Sheringham
Van Nistelrooy

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

4 voters didn't include Henry in their top 3?!

Are you mental? :nope:

 

[Jim Levenstein]

I'd put Aguero and Suarez in there also

Did you notice his goals dried up after Beckham left. It seemed to me he played right on the shoulder of the last defender and Beckham would whip the ball right in front of him.
Beckham went, Ronaldo replaced him and RVN would make his run but Ronaldo was doing a few more step overs so the ball wasn't delivered.

Thats my coaching insight for you there - unless of course its all bollocks.

I think henry is probably the best ever Premiership player. They were discussing him on talksport last night when he turned the game round against Liverpool in 2004 so I had a look on youtube:

Henrys second is amazing.

I also heard an interview with Wenger where he said at that time Henry was so good that he had to pull him out of training as he was severely ****ing off experienced team mates by running rings round them.

Did they? Got 37 goals in 57 games in all competitions for club and country the first season without Beckham and then 20 in 33 the season after before leaving for Real Madrid.

Cant say Ronaldo was a striker as he was a winger. So my top 3 are Henry, Bergkamp and Shearer (would have been RvN).

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Agreed. They're definitely the best two of the last 5/6 years. Ronaldo shouldn't be in there.

It's a shame that Henry's legacy will be tarnished by that handball against Ireland. What a player.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

1. Collymore
2. Shearer
3. Ronaldo

Andy Cole is always criminally neglected in these polls. Just a phenomenal forward, and far more devastating over a prolonged period than Michael Owen for instance. His career petered out quite tremendously and he didn't have the ability/inclination to adapt his game.

Having said that, the top three out-and-out centre forwards are Shearer, Henry and Cantona for my money. If we're going down the more modern route of bunching them as "attacking" players, than Ronaldo simply has to be included. He was unplayable during that 2006-2009 spell.

Until he came to Roots Hall and Lewis Hunt had him in his pocket. :smile:

Lewis Hunt went off injured after about 25 minutes, to be replaced by Simon Francis. I can see how one might be confused as Ronaldo didn't show after that, but technically I think it was Steven Hammell(!) at left-back who had Ronaldo in his pocket that night.
