Jaimie Carragher's ranking of the 10 best Premier League forwards is hilarious:

 

10) Gareth Bale

9) Dennis Bergkamp

8) Eden Hazard

7) Alan Shearer

6) Wayne Rooney

5) Didier Drogba

4) Eric Cantona

3) Cristiano Ronaldo

2) Mo Salah

1) Thierry Henry 

 

:lol: 

 

Seen that - incredible!

 

No Harold or Sergio as well (even Haaland but probs too early for him!)!

Possibly semantics, but during their time in the prem.  I wouldn't even class Ronaldo or Bale as 'forwards'.  They were wingers, I would have said?  Didn't they often play in a midfield 4 for quite a lot of the time?  Obviously they evolved, along with the game and would start to play in a 3 and in Ronaldo's case and sometimes Bale's, through the middle.

 

Ronaldo at number 3 is daft.  Always surprises me that he is often in Prem best XI's, too.  He was undoubtedly an outrageously good player.  But it was after he left that his numbers and everything else went into the stratosphere.  I feel like it is skewed on how he became one of the best of all time at Real Madrid and people use that to gauge him.

He kept tripping over his argument that it’s trophies that matter, it was the argument he used against Shearer. He put Salah at 2, with 1 title, and Bale at 10 with 0 titles, and Aguero with 5 titles didn’t make his list. They should’ve told him to go away and think about it and they’ll do the feature next week.

Bale aside, all of them players outside of Shearer played the majority of their Premier League careers with clubs on the top of the pile.

Shearer had 1/2 years at a good Blackburn team, and 2/3 years at a good NUFC. The rest of the time he was at mid table clubs, and lost 2 years of his career to injury.

 

100% this!

 

I'm obviously glad he didn't but if he signed for Man Utd in 96, he'd have finished with over 300 PL goals.

 

People forget how quick he was until his first serious knee injury at Blackburn.

 

7th best man [emoji38]

I think it’s a gossy high accent (the posh estate kids don’t speak like that and the kids who went to Kenton from the grange where Al was brought up don’t speak like that either). But scenty bottle isn’t it - Bruce’s can be similar despite being brought up in Walker 

It's really nothing to do with Gosforth or anywhere else in Newcastle for that matter. Just a posh version of Geordie that sounds horrific. Shearer, Bruce, Waddle all sound weird on national tv/radio. I've never heard anyone locally sound like that.

Gareth Bale but no Harry Kane. In fact there's no RVN (not gonna try and spell his surname). Mental.

No Aguero is absurd, he has to be in the discussion for #1 spot 

10 best Premier League forwards and 10 best forwards to play in Premier League obviously two different things. 

 

Aguero has the lowest minutes per goal by far when comparing 100+ appearances players. He was just injured a lot. Haaland is currently at 87.96, though.

Chicharito nr. 10. I had forgotten about him.[emoji38]

Waddles accent is unbearable. "GRITE GOWL!"

Ronaldo was at the very start of the wingers as forwards era so I suppose it's fine, but having forwards, wing forwards and out-and-out strikers together feels a bit forced and pointless tbh. Cantona, Salah, Bale and Shearer don't really belong together on any list that's supposed to make any sense.

This. Must admit I was kind of surprised to hear it being linked with Gosforth, just seems to be some weird inflection that some people seem to have picked up second hand. Maybe footballers get that from being around so many different accents during their career. Waddle was a Mackem, Bruce spent half his life kissing Mancunian arse, and Shearer probably spent too much time with the pair of them.

Hazard shouldn't be on that list either, he wasn't a forward. The way they disregarded Cole and Van Nistelrooy was very strange. Was a very odd segment. Aguero wasn't on the list despite having five or six league titles and Kane not being there being because he didn't have any despite having three golden boots. It didn't make any sense at all.

I think If I was to create a list as they did, including wingers, wide forwards and strikers i'd probably have it as this.

 

10) Erling Haaland

9) Robin Van Persie

8) Cristiano Ronaldo

7) Dennis Bergkamp

6) Wayne Rooney

5) Harry Kane

4) Mo Salah

3) Sergio Aguero

2) Alan Shearer

1) Thierry Henry

 

The Top three are set in stone for me, but honest the other 7 could change around dependent on my mood :lol:

I bet when it comes to midfielders he’ll put Gerrard at number one despite no PL titles.

Or Hazard. Comparing him with Shearer is pointless as there couldn't be two more different players, basically.

Anyway, 1. Shearer 2. Henry 3. Aguero is my obvious top 3

It's kind of like making a top 10 list of centrebacks and fullbacks..

I'll never understand how highly rated Cantona is in these lists.

Agreed. He was class on Saturday's against Oldham or Sheff Utd in the PL. But shite the following Tuesday against AC or Bara in the CL.
