Drogba vs Torres vs Rooney

Admin: Please put this on the Chelsea and Liverpool boards too.

At the very top of their game who was the best striker in the Premier League.

vote 5 for Drogba

vote 3 for Torres

Vote 1 for Rooney

For me it goes Torres, Rooney, Drogba. Very little in it though.

I say Torres cause he was competing with the other two whilst playing in a far inferior team. His turn of pace and 2nd touch were fantastic. Rooney probably the best all round player.

Anyone who said anything other than Henry would be an imbecile.

a very narrow minded view there. just because its your opinion doesn't make it right

Henry is miles ahead of these three

No, the fact that it's right makes it right

Miles ahead isn't right...

I do think Henry is a bit better than the 3 of them though, quite possibly the best around in his prime.

Drogba - Torres - Rooney.

Leave Henry out of it, he was a class apart!

you have to remember henry was a central figure in one of the best teams the PL has seen, i do think he was a class player but take all around him away and would he have been the same player. i think most would agree that drogba, rooney and torres have all played in faltering sides at some point and still outperformed

TRFC, we'll never know and any attempt to know is pure speculation. What we do know, however, based on performances and consistency, is that Henry was ahead of all three and most likely the best PL striker there's been.

Performances is all we have to go on so there's little point trying to determine what might have been if Henry was not in a great team. For the record, there was numerous times that Henry seemed to win game single-handedly.

Lets not forget Van Nistelrooy - a goal machine

Quite. But let's not start listing all the great PL strikers of which there are many. It was stupid to even mention Henry in all fairness.

Personally, my top 3 would be Henry, Ruud and Drogba.
