People talk about Vardy, but van Nistelrooy scored 20+ in 4 out 5 seasons in the PL and the one he didn't he only played 17 games. Scored loads in the CL as well didn't he?

Shearer, Henry, Aguero, Kane, Rooney, Suarez, Van Persie, Drogba, Wright, Cantona 10 straight away who would be above him. He's probably in a list just below along with Cole, Ferdinand, Fowler, etc He means more to the PL than Suarez. In terms of ‘legendary’ he’s top 10 for me as a striker. His impact on this league can only be rivalled by a few. I’m not just talking ability. Even half the players I would rank above him in terms of ability, couldn’t do what he did with Leicester. I think RVN has the same amount of league titles and FA Cups as Vardy in stronger teams. Edited August 20, 2022 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he didn’t do enough for the team. Too selfish. Teams had to be setup for him to score. I don’t think it’s a complete coincidence that RVN was at Man United for the weakest period of SAF’s last 15-20 years at Man Utd. Never came close to being in a CL winning side either. Take out penalties - is his record substantively better than the primes of Cole or Ferdinand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably in a list just below along with Cole, Ferdinand, Fowler, etc Shearer, Henry, Aguero, Kane, Salah, Rooney, Vardy, Drogba, Van Nistelrooy, Cole. To me, he is right in the middle of the top 10 with Torres, Fowler, and Wright just missing out. He is just a bit below the genuine elite - Shearer, Henry, Aguero, Kane. He normally stays out of everyone's top 10 list because at his peak, he lacked the global profile of Shearer or Henry, the charismatic goals, larger-than-life celebration, etc. But in terms of effectiveness and contribution, he stands up to everyone. Particularly in their later years, Shearer and Henry needed a system or other people's legs to carry them. But Vardy was one of the strikers who did not expect others to put in the graft for him, he did it. Rooney, I think was the other striker like that. So those players will always have lower goal returns but that should not make their contribution any less valuable.

He was basically an personal appointment by Purslow who is the former Liverpool CEO and now in that position at Villa. Old boys network style appointment. Hopefully it means they persevere with him way longer than they should. The press are doing their part, not a single article about him being under pressure. He wasn’t considered by us as he refused complete an interview and just wanted to be headhunted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
