I can't add more than 10, but I would also add Owen, Solkjaer and Fowler on that list as well.

Thierry Henry gets my vote, the best striker I have ever seen and the most enjoyable player to watch when he had the ball.

If I missed anyone else please let us know

By the way I mean in the English League only

I had to say Shearer.  One of the only all around strikers you will ever see. 

Not to mention he told fergie to :censored: off and joined newcastle instead.

If we are being a little anal about the time frame you have there.. 2001-2011

Would have to be between:

Henry (2001-2007) 269 games - 178 goals
and
V.Nistelrooy (2001-2006) 219 games played - 150 goals

For me, Henry would get it since he was the better player overall and maintained a high standard throughout his years at Arsenal despite the rebuilding that took place towards his final couple of years... Shame he never won world player of the year... Deserved it a couple of times..

Henry was different class in his day. Made Carragher looks stoopid on more than one occasion, just a total footballer, and the best I've seen in the top division in a long time

The best 3 are shearer, Henry and rvn. Henry was the best for me. Best player of the pl era

Agree.  them 3 were good consistantly for many years.  Owen might of made the list if he hadn't of ruined his career by leaving the greatest club of all time  :D

Thierry Henry was better all around than Shearer, Henry was almost a complete striker except that he lacked aerial ability. Henry could play as a second striker or even lead the line on his own. Shearer was a beast of a striker, especially in the 6 yard box.

Henry without doubt, unbelievable player.
Shearer would be second without a doubt, proper all round centre forward.

I voted bergkamp. Not for the sheer amount of goals he scored but for the fantastic things he could do with a football

Probably Henry, with RvN a close second.

But to be honest, I think Robin Van Persie has a shout at being better than Torres and Rooney.  Injured all the time, but still always scores a bunch, country and club.
