The only striker that comes close to either henry/shearer is ruud and even ruud is miles off.
and yes rooney >>> drogba
by rooney's standard he has been terrible in the last 2 years. yet how many more goals has he scored than the legendary drogba.
I liked the Asprilla/Shearer partnership in 1996.
Also, I think Drogba is a tad under-rated on here. While not on the same level as Henry or Shearer he was still an awesome striker. Turned up in many an important game for Chelsea.
Andy Cole should be in that list.
some ridiculous comments on here.
Drogba is better than Shearer. Saying "lol look at his stats" does't prove anything.
Drogba prime > Rooney also.
Drogba is nowhere near Shearer, not even close.
Yes he is.
Drogba in his prime was better than Shearer in his prime.
I'm not wumming.
Don't see how what I've said deserves that response.
Drogba prime = average 15 goal a season striker. Nothing more.
Come on. RVN was nowhere near Henry. It would be like arsenal fans saying Reyes is better than Ronaldo.

Never said he was. If you look carefully I said that RVN was a better striker but Henry was a better player overall. I.e. RVN was better at finishing/positioning while Henry was better at pretty much everything else.
RvN's record in Europe is second to very few.
Raul perhaps.
Henry may have had media charisma but that masked a lot of footballing flaws. Bench warmer at Juve/Barca. Over-rated in a hyped-up PL. Awful in the best part of three world cups (including getting sent off). Cheat par excellence in a team of divers whilst at AFC.
Drogba played like a tank - Henry dived like a tank (but spelt with a 'w' and not a 't'.
