"£110m for Caicedo wtf......£105.5m profit... It's close between Shearer and Heskey tbh. Aguero was good but I think he could have been so much better. Van Nistelroy was an animal, but Henry has to be up there!! " Shearer then Henry for me. If Shearer went to Man U instead of Newcastle it wouldn’t even be a debate. | |||

"Shearer was good. VanNistlerooy was an absolute goal machine for United. So was Rooney. Henry for Arse… I always like Bergkamp too. I think I’m the 90,s there were so many around in English football it was fantastic. " Bergkamp was class but his best ever goal was a fluke. | |||

"A very tough choice but purely on the art of scoring goals I’ll go with Shearer " Goal poachers will always win that argument. Liverpool had many like that. Skill wasn’t great, neither was the better choices, as they just saw the goal and shot. But their goals per match was right up there. And that’s what we saw. Now, we have assists/ created chances etc. look at Kane, he’s actually a good asset upfront for drawing defenders. | |||

He was at a time when the game was a little more simple. Now, forwards are playing so many roles. Back then, you were a striker/goal scorer. That’s my point. | |||

"Shearer was a fantastic player and I enjoyed seeing him score for England many times. Football is different now though, the ball is kept on the floor much more and as a result there are fewer headed goals. So would Shearer have scored as many goals if he played in the modern era? I imagine Haaland will get close to Shearer's record though but we aren’t comparing eggs with eggs." Haaland will be at Madrid within 3 years. Kane is the only one who will get close if he stays. | |||

"The streets will never forget Michu's 2012/13 season I was going to mention Dimitri Payet. I thought he scored a lot more than 11 goals for West Ham. Payet and Ben Afra. The cage baller representation we needed in the premier league" If Ben Arfa’s attitude matched his ability he would have been one of the best players I’d ever seen in a Newcastle shirt. | |||

"He might be off to Bayern Munich but what I want to know is who is the Prem’s greatest ever striker… And why is it Alan Shearer? Football didn’t exist before premiership? Why rule out the legends of the previous hundred years or so? Because the question is specifically about the Prem. If anything this argument proves why Shearer is better than the rest named. He scored goals before ‘92. Ok. So you wanted to restrict the question so that shearer would be the answer? Fair enough! If we’re going to be ridiculous we’ll just say it’s Pele. Why restrict to just England? Suggesting including players from the same league before it was rebranded is ridiculous is it? Ok! I guess reading isn’t for you." Actually i quite enjoy reading. It’s just that I enjoyed football long before 1992. | |||

"My friend always used to go on about Zidane, and I know she liked him. Don't think he was a striker though. Was he any good?" One of the best to ever play the game but never played in The Premier League. | |||

"£110m for Caicedo wtf......£105.5m profit... It's close between Shearer and Heskey tbh. Aguero was good but I think he could have been so much better. Van Nistelroy was an animal, but Henry has to be up there!! Shearer then Henry for me. If Shearer went to Man U instead of Newcastle it wouldn’t even be a debate." Love Shearer, really do. And his loyalty to Newcastle. But it's the other way round for me. But see elsewhere on the thread I'm supposed to be looking back over the last 100 years, so I'll just say I loved that Cliff Bastin. What a player. | |||

"He might be off to Bayern Munich but what I want to know is who is the Prem’s greatest ever striker… And why is it Alan Shearer?" He could hold onto the ball and score somebody beat his record this year though mind but he was a prolific goal scorer, Harry Kane is only 30 so he's only 47 goals behind Shearer so should easily beat shearers record of 260 | |||

I didn't think he was either, I thought he played just behind the striker but I suppose I understand the hype in terms of being a silky player in an era where that was a rarity. | |||

Inevitable in England theyre worth more. Bellingham would go for £200M if an English club wanted him. He’s more marketable here I think. Sancho same. They make so much money for these clubs. Same with Sterling to Chelsea. All about marketing. | |||
