That is fair. Don't take me wrong, the 3 modern guys are all fine players in their own right, I just look at the depth in that area and it compares favourably with now IMO. Probably quite a few of the earlier names would be playing wide forward if they came through now, which muddies the comparisons a little.@Bobski All those players were not peaking at the same time in 98. And a lot of those guys have had up and down seasons like Lukaku and Morata. In 20 years people might just look at all the goals scored by Lukaku and say he was a great player but, in this day and age he gets Youtube video compilations of all his bad touches. That was not really done in the past. And with Morate in 20 years people might look back at all the trophies he won and say he was a great player. Also, regardless how the rest of his career goes I think Lyon will always hold Lacazette in high regard.
Kept me amused while I have been babysitting tonight, checked out a few vids of those guys, Italy produced some fun strikers in that period, Signori and Chiesa 2 of my favourites to watch.
