Picture supply, Getty PicturesLuke: Hello Phil, what do you assume is the
most impactful Premier League signing of all time? I might argue it is Luis Suarez
to Liverpool. He single-handedly made a median staff into sturdy title
contenders.
Hello, Luke. Sensible query and so many individuals
could have completely different solutions to this. And will all be proper!!!
I completely agree Luis Suarez was a superb
signing however I’ll go for 2 of an older classic.
Eric Cantona turned Manchester United into title
winners after he moved from Leeds United in late 1992, however I’ll go for
Thierry Henry, who signed for Arsenal from Juventus for a reported £14m in
August 1999.
What a discount. What a participant. Many will regard
him because the Premier League’s biggest striker, though I’d put Alan Shearer
in there as properly.
Henry gained the Premier League twice, together with
with the 2003-04 ‘Invincibles’, and scored 20 extra extra objectives league objectives in
5 successive seasons. He earned the Golden Boot on 4 events and scored
175 objectives in 258 league video games.
Different decisions are, as at all times, accessible.
