Giroud tbh
Started watching soccer in 98....
I watched highliths of van basten, eusebio etc. No highlights of de stefano but man in those days centre forwards had the physical abilities and skills of a centre back..All these other great 9s had weak dribbles, poor runs etc. Not to mention Ronaldo is the greatest and most unselfish decoy of all time. Phenomenal player.
Seriously, is there a more complete Center Forward than Ronaldo?
Giroud tbh
tbh more like 2008 son. Penaldo isn't even the best ronaldo
As a pure center forward romario, van basten, even suarez/eto'o/zlatan/peak crespo/drogba are better players from near past memory alone, it just isn't his game and/or position, no shame in that. Why do you think real play with benzema/morata? His only goat asset as a center forward is his positioning (and only as of late), but that's not enough.
Penaldo is probably the best winger/wide forward of all time all things considered, but his central attacking (forward and midfield) qualities have always been lacking (diversion play, pivot play, individual creation, dribbling in traffic, ability to cover for midfielder runs, deep central attacking runs, positional play, link-up play).
Son i said "9" so I was refering to the Brazilian Robaldo.

my bad son tbh. good choice tbh. but tbh I'd take Romario if we're strictly talking about pure 9s, was a pure predator in the box.
Lucas Alario or Cavenaghi
River plate sucks.
Getting relegated in modern day soccer.
Embarrasing...Oh I just remebered DAF is a river plate fan.
No wonder he hates Maradona so much.
Brazilian Ronaldo is the second best player I have ever had the chance to regularly see play on my lifetime.
Daaaaaamn
DAF86 putting a R9 ahead of Missi
Mmh, no. Guess who is the best player I have ever seen.

son I don't follow the argentine league at all but how did a big time team like river plate get relegated ?
Years of bad/corrupt presidents + ty players/coaches + Boca lobby tbh
But enough about the Argentina NT
In the six yard box you cannot go wrong with Gerd Muller tbh
Muller and Papin were deadly but Van Basten...
Not a dribbling wizard like R9 obviously but still very complete.
Football IQ off the charts.
Det GOAT volley against Dassaev and USSR
Also scored the best head goal ever vs Real Madrid at the Bernabeu
Van Basten
Papin was a bull inside the box, a dude like Rudy Voller was also beast out there tbh...
Papin was automatic, holy

Voller was very crafty, smart positioning.
He and Jurgen had great chemistry
It has to be Pelé (he used the #10 but was a striker). He did everything R9 did, had an elite aero game and was good recovering the ball. Not being good with headers is major flaw for a striker, but not every person can jump +1m or control were to put the ball with the head under pressure.
Marseille 93 was salvage tbh
but quite soft compared to:
That og OM team was cool AF
oh boy it was hard for opponents legs
Hugo Sanchez > Marco Van Basten
but all the European posters will raise about it.
Yup
oh boy it was hard for opponents legs
