Liverpool - It's not looking too bad in the transfer market

Are we talking Premier League? Who are the 'many' more prolific than Rush in the last 10 years? Shearer retired 8 or 9 years ago.

No I wasn't talking just premierleague. I was talking town leagues throughout Europe. Rush is a great. But nowadays the top strikers are scorer with rates close to 1/1. Whether it be for one season or for ten. Most seasons the top scorers are getting close to 30 league goals a season. It's difficult with different eras. But IMO to name a few I'd pick Ronaldo (either). Ibrahimovic, RVP, van nistelrooy, messi, batistuta, Henry, villa all ahead of him. Maybe that's because I saw more of them. Maybe it's because they've he really done it at more clubs and score more varied goals. It's all done to opinions. But genuinely this thread aside. If someone pushed me to name my top 20 strikers I don't think I'd of thought of rush.

That just shows that you grew up watching football during the 90's through to now


Only Messi and Fake Ronaldo are close to 1/1

The rest maybe bar Real Ronaldo scored less than Rush

If the hype was the same then as it is now then Rush would be a global star purely by the goals he scored and his link up play was outstanding as well as being the first line of defence.

Messi and Ronaldo are a world apart.

Although none can touch the legend that is Dixie Dean.

60 goals in 39 games 1927/8.

On that note, I bid you goodnight!

They may have lower numbers. But doesn't doesn't mean at their peak they were worse. Yes I grew up in the 90's. If I was older I could include players such as Romario but it would prove anything to you as he's a Liverpool legend. He played his entire prolifoc career playing at the nest club around so would have more chances and score more goals. For me prolific is goals per game ratio and many players have had ratios as good as his. They may not of scored as many goals due to not playing as much but that's irrelevant.
