So of the current crop of EPL strikers who do you think will be most fondly remembered in say 10 years time for their contributions to the game based on things like skill, goals, assists, attitude etc.
I realise I could have included more but I didn't so I've just picked a handful of the most notable guys atm. You might also have to take into consideration things like the fact many of these strikers could be gone in a year or 2 and thus will not have made contribution over significant time like Rooney for example. You might also consider Suarez and Wazza have been naughty at times and RVP bloomed a little late. You could make arguments for and against them all but it's a prediction at the end of the day so try not to rage.
Explain why and why not as well if you can be arsed.

Rooney because on his day he's the best player in the league, IMO. (And he's English)
Suarez will defiantly appear in those TV shows on ITV4 and BBC Three showing his genius but mostly his madness.

Yeah it seems to make most sense to go for Rooney but the question is will I remmeber him fondly? I gotta say no, as good as he is (an I think he's great) I'm always gonna remmeber him as an absolute cunt. Memorable yes but as a cunt.

Aguero for me. Guy's a monster, and I'll never forget when he first came on for City I was telling my Mom how great he was and even predicted him to get a goal. In the end I think he got 2 and an assist!

Definitely Aguero for me, even though I've always been more of a Valencia fan his time at Atletico Madrid was great. Him & Forlan were quite possibly the most fearsome teaming I've seen in La Liga. He pretty much kept me tuning in to Atletico's games every week.

Everyone will remember Aguero 'cause of the last minute title winner. Suarez and Rooney are the only other two at the moment who I'd say have a long lasting legacy in the PL, RVP is a weird one, if he hadn't had all his injuries in the past he'd definetly be up there with the other 3.

Fuck Aguero. I'll only remember him for his filthy two footed stamp on David Luiz's arse. The bastard. I hope you're not serious lol

I went for Aguero, banking on him having another few seasons of classy play and lots of goals. Perhaps in the end the positives of Rooney will outweigh the negatives in the publics eye and he will be remembered better than I think of him for his personal shit with Liverpool.

Aguero doesn't exactly benefit from being in a team full of them, but as a young established 'foreigner' coming into the league and setting it alight from the get-go he's definitely a good shout. Hasn't gotten the same recognition as RVP and Rooney for being the excellent striker he is, due to Man City having other firepower basically. The lack of reliance on him just makes him look like less important of a player, but he's definitely been one of the most talented imports into the league in the last five years.
But i voted Rooney cuz English.

Benteke is so average. The couple of times I've watched him against us, he's missed about 10 clear cut chances and generally looked sluggish and clumsy.
No doubt when it all comes together in a game for him he's a boss, but I'd rather have Lukaku than him.

Rooney will be United's top goal scorer ever if he stays. He'll probably beat Charlton to England's record too.
If you retire as top scorer for both Manchester United & England then that's enough to leave a legacy.

Sturridge.
Only one who played for us, thus the only one I care about.
Easy.
