Your Best Finisher ?

Close call between Lukaku and Lineker, but I'd go with Lineker. Such a natural goalscorer.
Thoughts @dylsexicbleu ?

Its not a close call.

Lineker is so clear its not even funny.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Probably Cottee.

Well, Dixie Dean. Though I did not see him play, I'll just trust the numbers.

….Lineker, Lukaku and then Yakubu with the mention that Lineker played in a fantastic team. The big surprise with Lineker was the number of headers he scored which he has said was down to the delivery from both flanks.

The goals for the truly top finishers invariably cross the line near a goalpost and hit the side netting. They have a picture of where they are, where the goal is and where the goalkeeper should be. They also tend to be decent on left and right foot, clean strikers of the ball.

Vernon (101 in 176) & Pickering (56 in 97) have remarkable stats from the ‘60s and I’m privileged to have seen them both, great goalscorers.

Lukaku is the most deadly I’ve personally seen. That 2016/17 season it was a goal every time the ball went anywhere near him in the box, left foot, right foot, head. Mourinho ruined him by trying to turn him into Lennox Lewis. Hipsters will try and say Yakubu was a better finisher but he wasn’t.

Stopped as soon as I seen Lineker, on a completely different level to the rest.

He scored plenty of scuffs and mishits, levels above what we’ve had since, but levels below Lineker.

Wot no Dixie Dean, bow your head in shame.
