i think a viduka in his prime would have been high up there, had they not played for the same team for a while. he’s still for me one of the most gifted at holding up the ball for others, as well as his deft skill and danger in the air.

Torres is a handful of course, but he is far from tough and combative. He is too lightweight and not aggressive enough to be considered a tough and combative opponent. His pace is his main weapon, for someone to say he is one of if not the toughest strikers in the PL is ridiculous. I agree that Ibrahimovic is a joke suggestion. I think it was deliberate he mentioned players that had retired or play abroad as it may give players still playing an edge next time they played. Like when Adebayor said that Vidic was the best defender he’d played against and then proceded to do nothing against him over 2 legs in the CL.

@dfjjsdf, you are, quite simply, an idiot. To say that Torres is “hardly tough and combative” shows that you have absolutley no idea what you’re talking about. Fernando Torres is one of, if not the toughest strikers in the premier league, which, combined with his unparalelled skill makes him the best striker in the world. Fact.

Well there’s no doubt that Hartson and Davies are tough, rugged and combative players. Torres and Drogba for all their brilliance are hardly tough and combative. Shame on the person who guessed that the overrated clown Ibrahamovic would be on this list.

people who keep saying drogba, torres, and henry are probably noobs. ferdinand apparently start playing football way before the year 2003 aight? i think ferdinand meant footballer who consistently gave him trouble, yeah henry, torres, drogba are good,but they only gave ferdinand problem only when they’re on form or when ferdinand is not on form, therefore not consistent enough…

usually the ones he doesnt like the most are ones that are followed by specific incidents. and if i was a reporter it wouldnt be interesting to read if it was the normal Torres, Drogba and so on.

I was all wrong. My guess was Drogba-Torres-Ibrahimovic
