Didnt Henry also play out of his position?
Didnt Anelka top the epl?
Henry did play out of position yes, so?
Anelka topped the EPL after having a very good first half to the season where he was scoring for fun against the lower teams in the table. He was average for the whole second half of the season though. I look at overall performances over the whole season, not just goal scoring records, or else Forlan would have been better than Ibra.
Rooney deserves props, for sure, but not in a top 5 striker count down, seriously, he aint a striker. Ronaldo is more deserving to be in this list, Rooney plays like an AM, for sure, Kaka also plays more of a goalgetter then this guy.
He lines up as a striker though, sure he goes deep alot. But so does DP, so did Bergkamp and so do alot of others, they're second strikers they are not attacking midfielders.
Ronaldo lines up as a winger too, that is his position primarily. But he makes a lot of runs behind the opposition defense, which is why he scores alot of goals. But he still lines up as a winger, and therefore should be regarded as one in my book.
