Ronaldo

Village, i'd consider Ron's prime to be 97-03 roughly.

His team won in 2002, is what I meant. When I said 'himself' I didn't mean to suggest he did it practically alone.

Singlehandedly? what nonsense. And as for world cups, we're talking about the guy who's scored the most world cup goals in history, won player of the tournament in 98 and won the tournament himself in 02.

Ruud Gullit, fantastic pundit and a very honest guy.

Well, i've not seen the others apart from Zidane. Which is why I said "Ronaldo is the better striker and the best player i've ever seen". I'm 23 man, how on earth do you expect me to have seen Maradona, Sócrates, Van Basten, Zico and Francescoli for the love of god? and Zidane? You're having a giraffe mate, Ronaldo in his prime could influence a game like Zidane could only dream of.

Hilarious. Ronaldo is the better striker and the best player i've ever seen. Best goalscorer, yes. Best striker, maybe (others had more to their game, but I think I'd still have him in my lifetime starting XI). Best player absolutely not. In his prime who came close?

Hilarious. Ronaldo is the better striker and the best player i've ever seen.

Which is why I didn't say "Drogba is the best overall striker i've ever seen".

Shearer, jesus.

I have Real +1 at 5/6.

That fella on your avatar for a start. Shearer in his prime is better than anything I've seen from Drogba. You were 10 when Shearer was in his prime. Ronaldo wasn't an accomplished header of the ball, which is why he isn't as complete.

I honestly prefer lennon to both of them. That's surprising. Lennon and Walcott are both better than SWP.

Feel free to name a more complete striker.

How quite clearly?

The last 3rd round match at home was 2006 vs. Mansfield Town. Shearer scored goal 200. I thought he only got 1 in that game?

I actually think Drogba's the most complete striker i've ever seen.

Henry? Have a word.

No he doesn't. Yes, he does. Better in the air, better with his feet, more fight for the cause with his defensive responsibilities and a better finisher. And I don't even rate Carroll very highly. Agree. I think a lot of people are gonna get let down by Ameobi when he comes back now, such expectancy. He had one well taken goal on the back of scoring a decent but not the hardest hattrick. I wouldnt expect him to come out instantly firing again. Hopefully he will, but people are expecting a lot now for a player thats never done well on the back of that. You agree that Carroll is a better finisher?

Drogba

Christ.

What a shocking tie.

That's kind of a ridiculous statement, a lot of strikers in their early careers didn't set the world a light at the start of their careers, just look at van Nistelrooy, Drogba and Thierry Henry's records. When they were Niles age, they didnt look like 20 goal a season strikers but we all know what they become More nonsense, from the king of bad research. Henry was named French young footballer of the Year at 18 and won the Ligue 1 title a year later.

Have it! 1-0.

Penalty to Inter.

Carroll's finishing against Doncaster was woeful.
