The thing is, Kane’s career and legacy could be underwhelming depending on what happens in the future.

[@Anonymous-xr8hx]

Exactly. There's so many strikers whose legacies are ruined or at least dampened by how they end their careers. Like how star completely forgot about Rooney because he burned out so much younger than most other players. I feel like building an incredible legacy is about being consistently amazing from start to finish and finishing on a high. I mean imagine the hype Aguero would get after he retired if he'd won City their first Champions league in his last ever game for them? Deserved or not I think everyone would put him over Rooney simply because of how poetic it would be. Like I'm a Chelsea fan and accepted that as a goalscorer Drogba's not up there with the very best in the Prem (although I will say is he was about a hell of a lot more than goals). But he's looked as one of the greatest because of how poetic his career was and that game in Munich.

When we do these lists in 10 years time, Vardy will be on there. 11 games in a row, dragging Leicester to win the league against 5000/1 odds. Maybe not the most technical, but I think the group seriously underrated his achievements. Maybe not as high as 6, but definitely 10th. Put Vardy in Man United or Chelsea in 2016/17 and he pulls 30 a season every season.

[@Anonymous-xr8hx]

This is what I hate. I'd probably put Vardy in my top 10 at the end of his career but you just can't speculate about what he could've done if he'd played for a different club. Some players play better in teams with better players around them. Some play worse with the added pressure. Some look better in worse teams. Some are worse because they get less service. You can overrate or discredit any player ever by talking about ifs. Like if Aguero didn't play for City of Salah didn't play for Liverpool they'd be shit. Or if Vardy had played for Chelsea he'd have outscored Diego Costa. Its just so ridiculous to speculate. Judge each player by what they did not what they could've, should've or would've done.

After hearing the top-10 striker debate numerous times over the years from various sources, I've come to the conclusion that you need to be a Chelsea fan to really appreciate Drogba as an elite striker.

[@1FORIMPERIUM]

Not true , Drogba was prem best striker behind Henry , you’re a clueless football fan to disagree

[@AndrewRait]

@@1FORIMPERIUM 0.41 goals per game in the premier league isn't "elite". 9 goals in 9 finals, however, is. So in that sense, when Chelsea fans talk about Drogba being the ultimate big game player I have to agree - Hence my point. Maybe the issue stems from the fact that rival fans will point to his goals-per-game ratio when discussing all-time best PL strikers and Chelsea fans will point to his finals record and overall positive effect on the dressing room and club culture. Perhaps Drogba was only a GOOD striker, but an ELITE character who personified the winning culture Chelsea began building the same time he joined them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@vasilisvitaskos3481]

I would say he is 10th because he was a part of the Chelsea transformation

[@RaulVivas11]

if your argument is goals, drogba was not a stay in the box stiker, did not take penalties and every season went to CAN 1 month, so only by that you can add 10 goals to every season he has played, but even besides that, you gotta understant football to know how crucial, genius and important he was

[@young_raymond47]

Just to help Rory out a bit with justifying Rooney over Henry; he is the only player in the prem to have over 200 goals AND over 100 assists. That is honestly supreme as a feat. Not saying he's clear of Henry, but I'd entertain the argument.

[@Lmikejagger]

He just reached his peak too young, Henry was a different breed though

[@young_raymond47]

@@Lmikejagger He did peak early but that's not really an applicable argument here because the amount of time he spent at his peak is still longer than most players they discussed simply because he was elite at such a young age. The argument is better if you're comparing him to players that have been elite for 15+ years, which are only a handful of players in history. Some of the all time greats had relatively short peaks. Zidane arguably didn't become world class until he was 25/26, Ronaldinho's peak was like 6 years etc. By comparison, Rooney was elite for a good 11 years. Henry was also elite for about 10 years.

[@JamesMc2051]

I was going to write something similar but couldn't be bothered with the explanations but....since you said it...I agree. Bergkamp and Sheringham played as no 9s in their early careers but are probably best known now as supporting forwards. Other names are out and out no 9s (Shearer, Cole, etc). Some others could play either role fairly equally (Suarez, Cantona, etc). It's difficult to have all in the one list and probably easier to ask who have been the best no 9s and who have been the best no 10s. It's also difficult because are we asking which strikers were the best to play in the Premier League or which strikers played their best in the Premier League? These are different things. Also...how to account for longevity? Davor Suker was a class striker, but not in England. Ditto Shevchenko. Ibrahimovic was a class striker, but the vast majority of his career was outside England.

Jari Litmanen was the next Bergamp at Ajax. Actually Ajax started to win Erediviese titles and went 2 times in a row to Champions League final and won one of them after Litmanen took Bergamp starting spot after he left Ajax. Sadly Litmanen was made of glass and his career at the top was short.

[@garymaidman625]

Another player that was pure class whose career was sadly cut short was Luc Nilis. He is on a par from a technical standpoint to Bergkamp. That Bergkamp goal vs Newcastle, there is a clip of Luc Nilis scoring an identical goal and I believe before Bergkamp scored his.

Nah Rooney has the 2nd most goal in epl history and 3rd most assists in epl history. They talk about some strikers being lethal and some being unselfish and helping the team. Throughout his career, Rooney has taken both roles and excelled in them. He has more assists than Lampard, Gerrard, Silva, Bergkamp and Beckham. That’s madness. Even though Henry could do both and his football was beautiful to watch, there’s no way you deny Rooney wasn’t in his own universe.

I love the discussions and debates soo much but if we're adding strikers on metrics other than sheer numbers i.e. Drogba and Bergkamp, then I see no reason why Cantona doesn't make the top 10. 5 League titles in 6 years (p.s 1 was with Leeds). Won United their first league title in 26 years. Might as well throw in this crazy stat whilst I'm at it but he won the league with Marseille in '91, won with Leeds in '92 and then moved halfway through the '93 season and took United from 8th to 1st.

He was already 10 years into his career by the time he moved to Arsenal and was instrumental in Arsenal winning the league multiple times. He scored roughly every two and a half matches for Arsenal when he was in the back end of his career. To say he wasn't an elite goal is delusional.
