Thierry Henry was asked to choose between Didier Drogba and Alan Shearer ⁉️

It's sad that many of you have forgotten just how good Alan Shearer was.

He wasn't just the Premier League's all-time leading goalscorer; he was one of the best strikers in the world during his prime.

If Wemby were a football player, which position would you play him at as a coach?

[Toon 9ja @Toon_9ja]

@TheHoopCentral Austin how

[Toon 9ja @Toon_9ja]

@JohnSmith8xeq @BallersinGod Oh. That's nice. I will follow up on him now

[Toon 9ja @Toon_9ja]

@ShileForeign Good morning

[Toon 9ja @Toon_9ja]

@DailyFootyTakes The defenders weren't even close

[Toon 9ja @Toon_9ja]

Same goal, different clubs. Which version do you prefer?

Look at how sharp he was at Newcastle🖤🤍

But yes I agree, Isak is back! 🔥

[Peter O.U @Parisdreams_emp]

In Isak first season at Newcastle he scored 8 non penalty goals in 27 games
In Liverpool first season, He scored 4 goals in 22games, in a season Newcastle decided to ruin for him, no pre-season, attack on his mental health and an un-gentlemanly treatment by the board.

In his Newcastle second season, he score 19 non-penalty goals in 40 games
In his second season with Liverpool so far he has scored non penalty 8 goals in 14 games, only 11 goals shy of his second season and 14 goals shot of his Newcastle best season having played about 30 games less.

I wanted Isak and I got Isak as a big club, I am happy with what I am seeing and glad that you guys can only watch him from afar while he hammers clubs

Nick Woltemade wasn't good enough at Newcastle.

Score no ❌
Pass no ✖️
Holdup play 😡

#NUFC vs Benfica 🤡

[Toon 9ja @Toon_9ja]

Drops deep like Harry Kane and still has the intelligence and movement to arrive in the box at the end of every transition.

Good technique, excellent football understanding, and quality link-up play.

[jack 🇫🇰 @jxckaw]

Hed be the best 10 at the club maybe best attacker and use toure and case number #19 running of him with osula up top

[Lucas @LucasNUFC1]

We literally had the blueprint of how to play and never went back to it

[Ojemba of Cfc @OgOnyiitex]

WHO IS GOING TO BE THE GREATEST MANAGER IN FUTURE?

Cesc Fàbregas. Or. Michael Carrick

[lilibrown @lilibrown40]

Suiiiiiiiiiii......👏👏👏
Vin Diesel has reportedly confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo will have a role in the next Fast & Furious movie.

He revealed that a special role has already been written for the football star, meaning Ronaldo is set to join the cast of the popular action movie franchise.

He has made history in football, and he's about to take over Hollywood. True definition of a GOAT.

ALAN SHEARER: THE STRIKER WHO HAD IT ALL. 🖤🤍

I genuinely believe Alan Shearer was the best out-and-out striker in world football at his peak.

And I'm not talking about goals alone. I'm talking about the complete centre-forward: physical presence, aerial ability, positioning, movement, finishing with both feet, long-range shooting and the ability to score in almost every possible situation.

Look at what he achieved.

ALAN SHEARER BY THE NUMBERS:

- 441 Premier League appearances.
- 260 Premier League goals — an all-time record.
- 64 Premier League assists.
- 379 career goals in 733 appearances.
- 3 consecutive Premier League Golden Boots (1994/95, 1995/96 and 1996/97).
- 1 Premier League title with Blackburn Rovers.
- 2-time PFA Players' Player of the Year.
- 1994/95 Premier League Player of the Season.
- England's record goalscorer at the time of his retirement, with 30 international goals.

He scored 34 Premier League goals in Blackburn's title-winning 1994/95 campaign. He followed that with 31 goals the following season and another 25 after joining Newcastle.

BUT THERE IS ANOTHER SIDE TO HIS LEGACY THAT PEOPLE OFTEN OVERLOOK.

Loyalty.

After conquering the Premier League with Blackburn, Shearer had opportunities to join some of the biggest clubs in football.

Manchester United wanted him. Barcelona were interested. These were clubs that could offer him more opportunities to compete for major trophies.

But Shearer chose Newcastle United, his boyhood club.

Think about that for a moment.

Andy Cole had played alongside him at Newcastle before moving to Manchester United in January 1995. Cole went on to win five Premier League titles and the Champions League at Old Trafford.

Shearer had the opportunity to follow a similar path, but he chose differently.

He stayed at Newcastle, became the club's greatest goalscorer and helped them challenge for the Premier League title, finishing second in the 1996/97 season.

He may not have won another league title, but he gave Newcastle something that money and trophies cannot always buy: a genuine club legend.

And his individual achievements speak for themselves.

260 Premier League goals.

Almost two decades after his retirement, nobody has managed to take that record away from him.

Even Peter Schmeichel, one of the greatest goalkeepers in football history, recently spoke about Shearer and admitted he wished he had joined Manchester United. He praised his ability to score every type of goal, from headers and volleys to long-range efforts.

That tells you something about the level of respect he commanded among those who played against him.

Football has produced incredible strikers since his generation, but at his peak, Alan Shearer was a different animal.

He didn't need to play for Real Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester United to establish his greatness.

He conquered the Premier League, rejected the glamour of bigger clubs and became the greatest goalscorer in its history.

That's Alan Shearer. 🖤🤍

@slyskiny01 Guess we have to wait and see

[Toon 9ja @Toon_9ja]

Isak at Newcastle or Isak at Liverpool?

Which form will you choose?

[Toon 9ja @Toon_9ja]

@Exspeedikay1 Yes. It be performance.

[Toon 9ja @Toon_9ja]

For years, winning the Ballon d'Or was the dream of every top footballer. The belief was simple: work hard, remain consistent, help your team achieve success, and you could be rewarded as the best player in the world.

But over the past few years, that dream has slowly died. Footballers no longer believe they can win the award based purely on what they do on the pitch. It has increasingly become a competition of PR, propaganda and politics.

This has probably discouraged several talents and affected the belief of players who once saw the Ballon d'Or as the ultimate reward for their hard work and performances.

This year's Ballon d'Or race almost became a political manifesto, with candidates and their supporters campaigning for votes. An award that should be decided by performances and achievements became a popularity contest.

Harry Kane winning the Ballon d'Or has restored some of that belief in football.

That's why seeing young talents like Rio Ngumoha openly express their dream of winning it is encouraging. It sends a message that the dream is still achievable.

Imagine the level of competition this could inspire. Young players will have another reason to push themselves, improve their performances, win trophies and establish themselves among the best in the world.

However, the problem is still much deeper than that.

You can imagine the Ballon d'Or winner not making the FIFA FIFPRO World XI. How does that even make sense? Can you be recognised as the best player in the world but not among the best players in your position?

I'll probably talk more about that another time.

But football needs to return to being performance-based. Enough of the PR, propaganda and campaigns. Let the best player win the most prestigious individual award in football based on what he has actually achieved on the pitch.

Enough of this nonsense.

Congratulations to Harry Kane once again.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🫵🏼 Rio Ngumoha on the Ballon d’Or: “It’s a dream, of course! I think I CAN win it”:

“Harry Kane winning the Ballon d'Or is definitely big”.

“It’s also helped English football because everyone’s seen one of us win the Ballon d’Or”.

“It is definitely encouraging many more people to want to be known as the best player in the world… for me, I would like to achieve it and I think I can do it”, told Telegraph.
