It's no exaggeration either, Ferguson's on record as saying only injury stopped Man U going in for him. Pacey, skillful, strong in the air, and a hard ******* too, he really was some player.

H2 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 21 minutes ago, Cruyff said: You've lost it if you think that. You've even answered the argument. If you were to pick England's greatest XI, who you picking upfront? It's Greaves and Rooney all day long. You said it yourself. Kane doesn't even enter the conversation. Greatest EPL striker? In modern times Henry, Drogba, Aguero, Van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Van Persie going back Owen, Fowler, Cole, Shearer... Kane's in the conversation but let's be honest, he's probably not even making the bench. If he stays at Spurs, he might finish with a statue and that's about it. What have I lost. I wouldn't have Rooney, I'd have Greaves and Charlton. Kane is a better goal scorer than Rooney the facts show that. Rooney had better players around him to assist in better teams but still has a lower goal ration than Kane. but hey if you want to ignore facts, that's your choice.

Conparable scoring rate to Thierry Henry and Aguero. But we get it, he’s English and you can’t cope with that 🤷♂️ I think he's very good, but tremendous. No. Shearer was tremendous, Linekar was tremendous, Greaves was absolutely world class, a God of a striker. Kane has done really well. Great player. But If it makes you feel better, you can think I can't cope. 👍 Edited March 25, 2023 by ri Alban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ri Alban Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 England have had some fantastic players. Keegan, Linekar and Hoddle could have played for any team.

They've got a very exciting group of players but they'll get in front against average sides like Ukraine then just stifle the game with 9/10 behind the ball. Tedious af! Even the subs ... bar giving Toney his debut to give Harry the acclaim, which was the most obvious sub, like ever was just one big yawn.
