How would you rank the top 10 PL strikers?

In terms of who the best strikers are that have played in the PL, how would you rank the top 10? So I mean the best in terms of their whole career that have played here, not just how they did in the PL, in which case Falcao and Shevchenko would be ranked a lot higher.

Ignoring Ronaldo as a striker, would it be something like this:

Henry
Suarez
Ibrahimovic
Aguero
Shearer
Shevchenko
RVN
Bergkamp
Rooney
Klinsmann

Mark Vidula came on as a sub once in about the 80th minute, and scored 4 goals.

Btw, no idea how Ibrahimovic can already be rated above some of those other strikers in your list.

You do realise strikers based on their whole careers that played in the league.

Ibrahimovic has been a top goalscorer throughout his career, doing it at multiple clubs and leagues, and is still doing it at age 35. In fact he might even be better now than he was in his 20's. Also scored some legendary goals, won lots of titles, and done it at international level.

Not prem related but seen as we are taking about European players and Serie A etc, one of my favourite players when I was a kid was Hristo Stoichkov. Unbelievable player who in my opinion could of been up there among the greatest had he curbed his attitude problem. Still a top class player I would of loved to have seen in the prem as a kid. Anyway surely Drogba has to be in that list mate.

Would put Jurgen Klinsman on that list to so I'm
Glad you did

Don, I only omitted Drogba cause other than scoring goals in finals, for a striker, he didn't have an especially great goalscoring record. I think you could make a case for him being on there though as much as others that I've put in there. Same with Weah.

Maybe on second thoughts I've rated Shearer too high?

Bergkamp too possibly.

Fowler was a top striker for 3/4 seasons, he didn't have the career these players had
