WHO IS THE GREATEST PREMIER LEAGUE IMPORT?
Спорт
On the latest episode of 888sport’s The Playlist, @RoryJenningsFootball, @AdeOladipo1 and Abbi Summers are joined by Robbie Lyle from @AFTVmedia and @drsportsmedia to rank 5 of the greatest imports in Premier League history.
The panel debate who had the biggest impact on English football out of Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba, Sergio Aguero and Mohamed Salah.
01:28 Top 5s revealed
02:35 Salah's impact on the PL
04:54 Did Drogba contribute more to the PL than Aguero?
05:55 Is Henry the undisputed No. 1?
07:40 Drogba's impact in finals
08:50 Was Henry a bad big-game player?
11:00 Do Liverpool fans prefer Suarez to Salah?
12:20 Let the viewers decide!
The panel discuss whether Thierry Henry was a big-game player and whether the fact he never won the Ballon d’Or or the Champions League with Arsenal should count against him. Ronaldo won the Champions League and Ballon d’Or at Manchester United, as well as a load of titles, but was his best football played at Real Madrid?
Sergio Aguero and Manchester City underperformed in the Champions League, but he did win loads of domestic trophies and was responsible for ‘Aguerooo!’, the most iconic moment in Premier League history.
Didier Drogba won everything there was to win at Chelsea, scored in pretty much every final he played in and delivered Chelsea’s first ever Champions League. And what about Mohamed Salah, who’s been prolific since joining Liverpool, as well as winning the Champions League and ending the club’s long title drought.
Who will top the list? Watch The Playlist to find out!

Ronaldo in 3 seasons achieved everything the rest of them did. Can't say the same thing about the rest. 1. Golden Boot from midfield - checked 2. EPL (3 in a row) - checked 3. Champions League (double) - checked 4. Scored in Finals/big games - checked 5. BALOND D'OR - checked 6. Entertained (dribbles, freekicks etc.) - checked The fact that he did all this BEFORE his prime and in shorter time is a testament how ahead he was of the rest. No other player did all of the above in PL. Period.

Aguero has the most prem goals as a foreign player. Has the best moment in the prem history and the fact he was here for 10 years and was injured for half of them and still never lost form, if Aguero was injury free for all those years he would be the prem best of all time and that's facts.

Salah change Liverpool right when he arrived. Three 90 points finishes three champions league finals and the PL goals record for a season. Doesn’t get more significant than that. Salah already had more PL goals than Drogba. Salah is a big game player scores against city and United all the time. Assist as well. Let’s not forget Salah would have had his Aguero moment if Villa knew had to defend
Henry ronaldo drogba salah aguero
Robbies is spot on
This narrative of Henry not being a big game player is such a lazy and manipulated point. Henry skinning Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, destroying Inter at the San Siro in the champions league aren't big games? Week in week out terrorizing the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, and crucial goals against United, also THAT iconic Pl volley against United. He didn't bang in finals, but not a big game player is flat out stupid.
The *true* top 5 is: 1. Henry 2. Cantona 3. Aguero 4. Ronaldo 5. Drogba
Abbi’s was spot on
I'll throw this name out there...Juninho. I think it's a travesty he never gets mentioned regarding foreign exports. The impact he had not just on Middlesbrough FC, but on the city as a whole, can't be understated...so much so he had THREE spells with the club, helped them win their first piece of silverware in God knows how long, and to this day is still given a hero's welcome in the city....

Henry Ronaldo Aguero Drogba Salah but Salah will pass Drogba n Aguero in no time
I must have missed out on them pointing out that 1. Drogba redefined the lone striker role. 2. Every team that played direct football ( or honestly speaking lumping out - long ball football) would demand hold up play like...Drogba. 3. Name me one striker who made more gaps for "off the balls" runs for their wingers or space for their cut- back crosses than Drogba. 4. Did they say cultural impact !! because that is just a whole new chapter.the man stopped a civil war. On an outside note I also missed them mentioning Cantona

The only correct answer is 1. Henry 2. Aguero 3. Ronaldo 4. Salah 5. Drogba
Cantona is number 1. Facts.
Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably the greatest player to have ever played in the Premier League considering the amazing career he's had plus his ongoing debate between himself and Messi for the best part of 15 years. Thierry Henry is arguably the greatest striker in Premier League history but Erling Haaland is a serious threat to Henry's supremacy considering his unique goals to games ratio. Kevin De Bruyne deserves to be in the Top 5 foreign players in Premier League history because he's arguably the best attacking midfielder in the world right now and has the silverware to back it up.
