Drogba - Over Rated

Page 8 of 9

Drogba achieved more than a lot of strikers but that doesn't mean he was better.

He's won nothing. Drogba won everything and scored on every big stage imaginable. CL semi finals, CL finals, Title decides, FA Cup Semi finals, Fa Cup finals, league cup finals...

Where has Kane scored?
Nowhere.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You cannot say that just because he has lots of medals he is better.

Stanley Matthews was considered the best of his era, won just one trophy

George Best won only four

Jimmy Greaves won only four

In the days of plastic and sugar daddy clubs hoovering up most of the trophies, winning medals don`t count for too much.

Quickest player in CL history to 20 goals. Once he surpasses Shearer’s record in the prem and ends up with more than 53 intl goals - don’t worry there will be no argument. And that will still be the case injuries to Kane or not.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Would show Kane’s a better finisher and goal scorer like most already know. Still wouldn’t be a better player unless something drastic happens

The thing is a lot of it was achieved by him. It wasn’t like a Steve finnan situation. As people have said drogba is knocking on top5, deffo top 10 in the pl era. That’s about right. His all round game was more than just a goalscorer. Lots of more lethal goal scorers over the years.

I know that and appreciate how god he was but he was surrounded by great players.
Shearer was a better scorer, and imo all round striker but won one trophy in 15 years of Football.
I'd have Drogba top 10, no doubt, and Kane also

Suppose its how you measure it. His goals ratio isnt as good as some of the others mentioned, shearer, aguero kane etc however he was the focal point of a team that won multiple premier leagues, fa cups and a champions league.

He bullied defences, was such a handful, probably 1 of the main reasons lampard was able to arrive unmarked in the box time and time again.

Hes right up there for me. He had it all and has the medals to back it up.

Mellor lets not forget, some of those Chelsea teams (2012) were pretty poor too. And he dragged us through, scoring against Barca in semis and obviously in the final.

Drogba in Prem career managed 3,794 passes with 14.94 passes averaged per match.

Kane has so far managed 4,216 averaging 20.98 per match.

https://www.premierleague.com/players/3960/Harry-Kane/stats


All the stats are there. And I still maintain those stats along with what I watched with my own eyes tell me Kane is the much superior offensive player. Drogba is a better version of Heskey.

Its just opinions at the end of the day. I love kane, hes an outstanding forward but if given the choice id take prime drogba over prime kane. Theres not much in it for me.

Passing stats are a bit of a stretch. Its the same as talking about guys like jorginho who have outrageous passing stats yet most their passes are sideways. I cant give you the reasons for kane completing more passes, maybe he comes shorter more often than drogba did, maybe he played for a team who played the ball on the deck more regularly than chelsea did. It could be anything really.

To call him a better version of heskey is a bit of a mick take mate. I couldnt stand the guy for his play acting antics but i wouldnt let that cloud my judgement that he was an outstanding forward.

Chelsea were 1 of the best in the world at that time. Put simply he wouldnt have survived if he wasnt up to it. The money they had he would've been replaced. Mourinho, ancelotti, hiddink, scolari, a lot of well respected managers that didnt feel he needed upgraded on

Well said. Some folks on here it appears are always on the wrong side of any debate and that tells its own story.

You need glasses bro. 'much superior' get the furrrk out of here.

The most important thing in football is winning trophies. Drogba turned up when it mattered season after season and won his team trophies. There's no way in hell I'd take Kane over that.

Would you take Drogba over Shearer, Wahl?

Very true, Macheda is better than Kane too

Mellor you seem pretty level headed but the jorgino comment is incorrect mate. Jorgino has the most forward passes or passes into the final third of any player in the premier league this season.
Anyway everything else you have said has been level headed and good to see someone being impartial

A better debate than drogba or Kane for me. Shearer was more like drogba in terms of talismans and leaders for their teams. Both absolute top draw players. Shearer maybe a better all round striker but drogba a more all round player? Tough. Shearers goal record is just a joke

posted on 28/3/20

What Shearer done in a second rate team stands out for me. Similar to what drogba done in our poorer years. Fa cup/cl finals.

I’d take both over Harry Kane.

He’s only halfway through his career, but he has a lot to prove still.

My bad mate I stand corrected on the jorginho one then. Ive probably said his name having heard others misinterpret what he does.

Nice one mate. At the end of the day I’m one who thinks eye test is the best gauge although stats have their place.

Wouldn't make my top 5. Henry, Shearer, Kane, Aguero, Rooney all above him, just off the top of my head.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
hes above Kane for me im afraid to say, hopefully not for much longer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Zero doubt he is above Kane at the moment, that may change but certainly not yet
----------------------------------------------------------------------




You seem to have some weird hatred of Spurs on here. Bit odd being a Wolves fan. I’m a huge Drogba fan, but I would hardly say “zero doubt”. Drogba is a monster and a winner don’t get me wrong, but Harry Kane is one of the best strikers on the planet right now. You can argue a case for both, but I wouldn’t go as far to say “zero doubt” Drogba is better. Drogba is one of the best strikers ever in the Prem, but so is Harry Kane.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Spurs are my favourite side out of the 'big six'.

It is far more than scoring goals, Drogbas all round game is better than Kanes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd say kane is a comfortably better footballer. Drogba might be a bit better in the air but in terms of all round game kane is definitely ahead, he is a genuine creator
----------------------------------------------------------------------
what is this nonsense? Do some spurs fans actually believe carthorse kane is a better player? Kane is one of the clumsiest and dopiest players going.

Drogba is a better passer, took better corners, free kicks, was better in big moments, created more for his team mates, stronger, quicker, better dribbler.
I mean cmon lets have a debate but people saying kane is a better all round player is nonsense.
Kane is arguably the most natural finisher the pl has had. but cmon spurs fans.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kane's an excellent passer. Probably England's best. It's amazing to me that even when people get to see how he's england's main creator they still think he is just a lump who scores goals

comfortably better, have a furrrking day off.

posted on 29/3/20

I can drop the comfortably if it makes you feel better wahl but then we'd be getting into semantics so I don't really see the point

posted on 29/3/20

It's not semantics, there's a huge difference between saying better and comfortably better

But Kane's not a better all round player than Drogba was anyhow. I dunno which PL striker you could say was better all round than Drogba. That was what he was most known for.
