Who is greatest striker ever in his prime?

R_9-Ronaldo · 01-19-2007, 09:23 PM

Has to be Thierry Henry for me who will almost certainly be the greatest all time scorer in the epl with only 45 goals separating him and Alan Shearer he is the greatest striker and in the run to be the greatest soccer player of all time he is definatelly already in the top 15 and will definatelly be ranked higher when he is finished with his soccer career.
Another reason why he is so speacial is because how often do you see a striker that sets up goals like he is in center midfield, dribbles like he is a winger, scores like nobody else can, The captain and definatelly main asset Arsenal has to offer, and on top of all that is loyal to one team that pay him reasonably when he could leave and most likely break beckhams pay record to absolute bits yet he still stays with Arsenal.....
Henry truly a future Legend!!!!!

Then comes (for me)Puscasz He is truly a great play R.I.P but may not be as great as Henry will be considered by many when Henry finishes his career but I have to say he is in a similar position in the national hungry side as Henry is in Arsenal.

u av made sum gud points mate but remember pele scored over 1000 career goals. plus 2 world cups, i think, nad he does the exact same as henry, taking the ball from his half and creating a goal.
Maradonna can also b classified as bets ever nt because of his name, but his loyalty to napoli. a side who weren't exactly famous, he cud have gone to los galacticos, man u, arsenal, any top club wud do anything to have him.

But ur rite henry is gonna b a real legend when he retires, even tho he is now. pele is remembered for his pure brilliance, maradonna for THEM goals against england and henry will b remembered for his pure pace, skill and football brain, THAT goal against real madrid, and being the greatest thing since george best to play in the prem.

HENRIK LARSSON.

nej, no really... ah'm just messin'

Worksop_Owl · 01-19-2007, 10:55 PM

well i dunno he has scored erm........ err....... i dunno how many goals but lots..... i think?!? he played for celtic........ (oh dear) joined barcelona and played ermm.......... *sigh*...... joined helsingborg .......... *sigh* then went on to man u (^_^) (sniggers) LMAO

no he's a talented guy done well for united scoring on his debut. i reckon he will do really well. (sniggers)

aisuru · 01-19-2007, 11:05 PM

seriously now, the greatest forward ever is Diego Maradonna.

however, as neither he nor Puskás played in the English Premiership, i'll be moving this thread to a more appropriate section.

Worksop_Owl · 01-19-2007, 11:08 PM

but its in general football talk aisuru m8. neways ur rite he is a bit amazing, but what about cruyff (or is it cruijff?), di stefano, stanley matthews, george best etc.

Stiles · 01-19-2007, 11:15 PM

Bergkamp was awesome.

Worksop_Owl · 01-19-2007, 11:22 PM

Ohhhh just a bit. scored sum of the greatest goals i have seen in my life. that goal where he flicked around a defender and went the opposite way. him and henry have got to b the best partnership in the last ten years in prem.

lol u sneaky Bar stool. can i just ask i have been meaning to for ages but what tha living hell on gods green earth is vcash?? can it be traded for real cash, courtesy of aisuru's bank account??

aisuru · 01-20-2007, 01:38 AM

vCash is purely for the benefit of gambling on the vBookie games.

but yes, it can be traded in for real cash, but you'll need to send me all your bank account number, sort code, that sort of thing so i can transfer the balance.

Professor Ludwig Mawson · 01-21-2007, 10:27 AM

Ronaldo would have to be one of the best strikers in the world when he is in form.

goldenHuddlestone · 01-21-2007, 07:18 PM

Shearer

Professor Ludwig Mawson · 01-22-2007, 06:49 AM

Romario would have to be the best striker in the world when he was in form. He is near the 1000 goal mark and is still currently playing for Vasco Da Gama.

Worksop_Owl · 01-22-2007, 03:55 PM

F****n hilarious aisuru (sarcastic clap) neway, romario is an amazing player but didn't he have like a drug problem or sumthin that put him off football for a while??

Matt the Thrasher · 01-22-2007, 05:29 PM

It would have to be between Pele & Maradona personaly I'd just give the edge to Deigo.

toonmagic9 · 07-03-2007, 08:12 PM

the best striker is between pele, maradonna and shearer, pele and maradonna probably the most skillful but in recent times no one comes close to super alan shearer

spoken like a true Geordie.

toonmagic9 · 07-05-2007, 08:14 PM

what did you expect, two years ago when sky did there best twenty prem strikers who came out on top, super alan shearer voted for by the fans says it all really.

aisuru · 07-05-2007, 10:47 PM

aye, he was rather good. he holds the Premiership scoring record, i believe?

toonmagic9 · 07-06-2007, 11:40 AM

he does and the last time i checked the top three had all played at newcastle shearer,cole and ferdinand wether that is still true i don't know. These days there seems to be more of a relance on midfield players scoring goals and the days of the 30-35 goals in the league have gone

BUT!Romario counts all of is goals... All of them eg: In training, When playing with family and friends, When playing for fun or even for a charity event or so in that category. Romario is a shifty, lieing, Fradulent player that couldnt even play good in the A-League. If he counts all of his goals, Than Pele maybe scored 2000goals when calculated 'Romario style'

no, YOU are the liar for saying things like that.

i quote, from the BBC "Romario includes goals scored in youth, friendly and testimonial games"

training and with family and friends? you, sir, are incorrect once again.
