loki679 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Start Kane because he's an actual player in his prime Bench Shearer because he's old and retired but could still rally the troops Sell Drogba because there was only three choices. I think it goes without saying that they mean when each player was in their prime. Why does that go without saying, Stifler? If there are temporal conditions to the question then they should be clearly stated, don't you think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Not so sure Kane should be overlooked so easily. He's had one period last season where his goalscoring form was a bit patchy and that's it. Constant goals of all type other than that. He lives in an age where forwards are expected to be super mobile and able to do everything whereas the others weren't. Drogba was a level below those 2 imo, certainly as a goalscorer.

Not at all, 112 goals in 138 appearances. Drogba and Kane could only dream of being as good as he was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Hearts feeling further shafted by the Scottish FA. After being relegated with about 9 games to go...Aberdeen & Celtic players breaking Coronavirus rules...the FA have decided that the SPL will continue as normal and the rest of Scottish football have been told they have to stop training for 10 days.

jdckelly Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 how dare Celtic and Aberdeen break the rules so therefore we will punish almost everyone except them. What the fuck kind of logic is that (and I know tv £££ but still punish the guys who actually broke the rules, ban the players, points deductions kick them out for a season whatever just not this insanity) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
