Yorkie Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Suarez might have got it, Rooney's the otherbut that isn't going to happen. Can't see any current PL-dweller reaching it, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Shearer's record really is incredible like. He had the advantage of longer seasons for 3 year but he never played in the Premiership until he was 22 (and obviously had injuries which hampered him/changed the way he played). To put it into perspective Aguero joined the Premiership at a similar age and is 150 goals off. He'd need to average 25 goals a season until he was 36 to match Shearer's record.

Robster Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I was very wary of Thierry Henry. I thought he was going to break it if he'd hung around at Arsenal for much longer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Shearer played more or less all of his career in the PL right? I can't see any of the modern day superstar strikers doing that. The best bet would have been a British striker like Rooney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he "struggle" for goals against English clubs before the last few years? Also, are you not capable of disagreeing with someone without sounding like a total twat?

It's almost like as Ronaldo matured as a footballer he got better at scoring goals. You are talking about the two best goalscorers in the world who routinely shit on the best on Europe. They'd shit on the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the only one I can see name-calling. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I wasn't being a twat any way. I honestly did think that you were joking, mainly because the idea that Ronaldo and Messi couldn't score 260 goals in the Premier League is based on literally nothing at all, I assumed that it could only possibly be a joke.

Hanshithispantz Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Think Dinho's saying their records would be nowhere near as impressive in the Premiership as they are in Spain. I don't think anyone's dense enough to think either wouldn't have broken Shearers record if they'd spent their careers in the Premiership It's fair enough like. Suarez scored 40 league goals last year and 59 in all competitions. His insane year at Liverpool he got 31 in the league (and 31 in all competitions). We rarely have freakishly high goal records in England. EDIT: A lot of this has to do with the domination of Barca more than the league as a whole though.

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Okay, there's a possibility that we're talking about different things. I was talking about scoring as many as Shearer's 260, which was what was being discussed. Messi and Ronaldo not scoring as many goals in the Premier League as they have in La Liga is a lot less risible. Although they'd still have broken Shearer's record by now.

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Depends who they played for IMO. I don't get this line of thinking either, mind. Our league has had plenty of players banging them in for average to shit teams. Suarez, Tevez, Bent, Johnson, Phillips, Defoe, Keane, Le Tissier, and dare I say it, Shearer. If they can do it, Ronaldo and Messi obviously can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe missed a few cup games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
