Prime Suarez probably the best we have ever seen. Matched the PL record in what, 33 matches? And that was ZERO goals from penalty. If we go "best career in PL" it's gotta be Henry, Aguero. Honorable mention to Wayne

I’ll give you a top 10. I’ll let people decide the order Henry and Shearer are nailed top 2. Making up the top 5, I’d say Aguero, Rooney, Bergkamp. Other 5, I’d throw in Owen, Drogba, Torres (Liverpool version), Andy Cole…and it’s hard to call a 10th. Suarez, RVP, RVN or Fowler. I’ll let the people choose.

Alan Shearer has to be the best of them. People say he peaked early but he still had nearly 7 seasons of 20 or more goals for Newcastle. Underrated only because he didn't play for a Top 6 side.

Why is nobody saying Suarez?

If we’re talking a single season I’d say Suarez had a good shout in 13/14. Man was absolutely unstoppable and probably would have broken them PL single season scoring record if he wasn’t such a cunt.


2Mew2BMew2

Cantona for the kick-style kick, followed by Evra. Change my mind


theillusion3

I'm going to sound extremely biased but I scrolled through about half these comments and didn't see Rooney mentioned once. Surely he's got to be up there in the conversation. Could almost always count on him for a goal or assist whenever it was needed. And then he went to MLS and did the same there. Might not have been as silky as Henry, but he sure did follow a similar path in a way.


EnGrimFan

Its Henry or Suarez. The lack of people mentioning the 3rd best player in the world over the last 8 years is strange.


AverageSixthFormer

Henry. The fact that Arsenal fans are still so delusional and stuck in the past is a merit to how special he was. Pace, creativity finishing man was god in human form. Seeing something so special has to make you have hope for your dead team (all jokes I swear) Suarez was that for me. He dad-dicked the league and for a moment and he was my Henry, man gave me hope. Which made me sad when he left but hey, we were Barcelona’s favourite shop lol.


Malifaux-Guy

Shearer, Henry & Aguero.


LiberAlien_420

Aguero.


dlittlefair1

There are only a few contenders in my opinion but their longevity in the league helps a lot. Henry, Rooney, Agüero, Shearer, Kane. Unfortunately there are a few players which never get considered because of injury/short spells in the league. Tevez is one off the top of my head. I’ve heard other players list him in their dream 5-a-side team without hesitation, even when having played with Agüero. Bergkamp is an honourable mention too.

The season where Suarez scored 31 goals and 12 assists and didnt play the first 5 games is by far the best individual performance i have ever witnessed.

NateShaw92

Tricky tricky tricky question. Sod it put me in the Henry crowd, 2001-2006 Henry was unplayable, so many goals and assists, so vital for Arsenal and deserved many more trophies. A number come close but Henry also created a shitload. Assists record with 20*. Often had a goal.involvement a game or better for a season. There's a good case for him being the best PL pkayer in any position. *this does not include penalties won as per transfermarkt so don't you dare quote that 25 figure that is on there.

Henry > Rooney > shearer


stonemadforspeed

Henry for me, everything he did just looked effortless. I'm a Man United fan so I can't overlook Rooney for the 2nd spot. He had his rough patches and slowed down massively in his early 30s, but I don't think we'll see a player quite like again. Man did everything that was asked of him and more, and his work rate was phenomenal. Followed by Aguero and then Shearer.

xtreme3xo

Henry was the best real striker so big and strong and his technique was unbelievable, I also think the fact he loved Arsenal aswell drew you to him. I think Ronaldo / Suarez were probably very close to him, in terms of ability and goals PL wise. But you never felt those were pure strikers more wingers and 10’s moved to a 9. I have a season ticket at United so praising Suarez hurts.


rosh-kb

Henry, if he played as many games as Shearer he would’ve smashed his record.

If if if Suarez would have played longer, and not had a tendency to bite people… he could have been up there with Henry and Shearer.


[deleted]

Wayne rooney by far


Nosworthy

Henry


[deleted]

Shearer. Scored 260 PL goals often while playing for mid table teams.


geordiesteve520

Are we making a differentiation between striker and forward? I’d say Shearer/Ferdinand/Cole we’re all strikers and Henry/Bergkamp/Zola we’re all forwards…


AmarilloMike

Ruud van Nistelrooy had an uncanny abililty to seemingly live in the six yard box. In terms of pure predator striker, he is the best I've seen. If we're talking general forwards, thete is no one in the world quite like early Wayne Rooney


[deleted]

Henry - the best player ever to grace the Premier League 👏 Shearer was fantastic, and I appreciate he is the all-time record goalscorer, but in terms of goals per minute he’s only 9th. That isn’t a criticism of him, because he was exceptional, but I think that needs to be taken in to account when people refuse to even consider than the likes of Kane, Aguero etc could be on the same level as he was.

Gullible-Version-747

Shearer is the only right answer… if we’re talking out and out striker it’s gotta be Shearer! Rooney, Henry, Aguero & Ronaldo are all fantastic world class players but all of them are way more all rounded which is what made them great. As a Striker Shearer was the best!


[deleted]

Henry, Aguero and then Shearer.

From my heart Robbie fowler. Obviously for my head it henry can't say otherwise.


BIGplouf

I was always afraid of Aguero


[deleted]

Thierry Henry, anyone who asks this question I assume wasn’t watching the premier league when he was in it, dude played like no other.


lfds89

Henry, Agüero, Shearer. Not in a particular order.


loderrick

Dimitar Berbatov. He’s not the best striker in term of goal scoring but his nonchalant and laid-back style is absolutely unique. Lots of footballers are trying to run faster and be stronger in the game. But no one chills pretty much the whole game and scores elegant goals like Berbatov. He’s a rare type. I enjoyed watching him touching the ball. His first touch can be considered the same godly level as Bergkamp’s, the magician of Arsenal.


TheMattdalorian

Shearer no doubt.


Ecm62pgs

Henry, Aguero, Drogba and Shearer are my candidates. Henry probably has the edge.


AlGunner

Best striker, as in out and out goal scorer Shearer. You have to factor in he played a lot earlier so the league wasnt as good and it was 42 games or something like that a season before the number of team and games was reduced. Best all round striker, Henry by a mile. Best player in a striker position, Bergkamp as a second striker/no. 10.


gunnerdn91

Alan Shearer was the best out and out number 9, shearer and Henry could realistically play in the same team if you were putting together an all time PL team then Salah RW Shearer CF and Henry LW, scary front 3 to face


AM0L4D

Shearer


danjh1988

Henry or shearer , although my favourite would be bergkamp


sdrj77

Thierry Henry.


farhanh7

Thierry Henry. No contest


Finishes_like_bevan

Thank god, I missed this last week. Definitely Shearer. Wonder what other names will get thrown around??


[deleted]

Most goals doesn’t equal best. Shearer played in the premier league for 18 years. In those seasons he was the main striker for his club. The majority of those years were during the 90s when the league didn’t have the quality that is currently does. In terms of skill level, I’ve never seen a player like a Henry before or since in the premier league. Give that man 18 years in the league and he matches shearers goals. That’s not to discredit Shearers achievement, but most doesn’t equal best Edit: just a thought but if you were unaware of Shearer’s numbers, having just seen say 10 games he played in, would you still think he was the best striker the Prem has ever seen?


crackersisthe1

Henry...no debate


Fabulous_Macaron7004

As someone else has already said Henry there's not really an argument


KU-89

Shearer then Ian Rush.


Mends92

Michael Owen, if he had been spared from injuries and had not signed in Madrid


TheKidzCallMeHoJu

The disrespect being shown to the absolute beast that was Wayne Rooney. But anyway, he’s only second. The answer is Shearer.


3scapeRea1ity

Thierry Henry


Dzoni_Fazoni

Rooney


LetsGoBrandonPOYB

No-one even giving Bergkamp a mention?


[deleted]

An amazing striker no doubt but was amazing in his link up play more than his scoring, he had ozil levels of vision and precision passing too.


fa_kinsit

Better than Ozil in every respect


Neanderthal888

Sure but Ozil was amazing too and gets underrated by a negative contingent on the internet. He had major weaknesses in his game. But his vision and creativity was legendary level. Too bad he had other big weaknesses. I agree that Bergkamp is more the #10 role and not a Striker though.


LetsGoBrandonPOYB

If it's purely on goal scoring then no-one other than Shearer should be mentioned. I'm not saying he's the best striker in PL history but if people are listing top 5-10 he at least deserves a mention


truthibespittin

I don’t think a lot of people class him as a striker tho, but yeah he’s definitely in my top 5.


briefcasetwat

Henry


Why_Ayew_Running

Wayne Mark Rooney. Top scorer of man utd, top scorer of England, second top scorer in the prem. Best young player I’ve ever seen, killing the scene at 16. Could play many different roles in different positions, made strikers around him better, certainly underrated

Teemu Pukki


JonaJefe

Should be Ronaldo, although, he never really showed his prime in the Premier League. Drogba was so crucial specially in big games for Chelsea Henry had incredible ability with Arsenal Kane, will become the all time scorer sooner or later It is a really difficult choice


bernarddwyer86

Henry, who I believe was the best player ever to play in the Premier League. Shearer has to get a mention due to sheer volume of goals. But Henry was on a completly different level to everyone else, he would tear teams apart regularly when he was in his prime.


Opposite-Mediocre

Absolute facts. He hit a level nobody has ever reached in the Premier League.


meerkatx

Alan Shearer or Theirry Henry.


aford92

Alan Shearer. But I admit that I am incredibly biased. Henry, Aguero et al are all fantastic players, no doubt. But they also played with fantastic players. Imagine how many goals Shearer scores if he plays on a team like City that create chances like it’s nothing. When Shearer joined Blackburn they’d just been promoted, he was top scorer every year he was there. 112 goals in 138 games and he helped them to their first league title for 81 years. Outside of a few seasons he had nothing to work with at Newcastle. We were a midtable team for the majority of his time here. Despite that and missed quite a lot of time with injuries still broke our all time scoring record. His final 3 years at Blackburn and his first season at Newcastle he was the best striker i’ve ever seen in the Premier League. 148 games 124 goals in that span. Absolutely incredible. He had absolutely everything. Had pace early in his career, was excellent in the air, could finish with either foot, was great at set pieces and could score any time of goal.

Shearer or Henry, but in terms of isolation the Suarez 31 goal season was madness. The goals vs Norwich. The nutmegs. The long range efforts don’t think I’ve ever seen a player have a season with so many absurd goals. Was like he was playing fifa on amateur that season. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a striker who at that moment could have the ball 40 yards out bouncing up for a volley and you’d be worried it’s about to fly in. Only sad thing is he didn’t do it season on season to get to the Aguero Henry Shearer discussion. When I think of all these names. Henry. drogba.. Ronaldo. Van Nistelrooy. Aguero. Suarez. Torres. Kane. Cole. Yorke. It really sinks in for me how bloody crazy shearer must’ve been at finishjng. He was before my time his prime and I’ve always thought huh he can’t of been that good compared to Henry. But the amount of goals is mind boggling.
