Discussion I was having with one of the lads the other day; in today's game that relies more on a lone striker and favours technical ability, how far would a striker like Heskey get?

He'd get as far as he always got before falling over. Useless lump with the odd good touch but he did bring others into play. In the current market he'd be a 20-25 million pound striker.

Why even try and compare them?

Because they're both black and it's a lazy assumption.

Why can't it ever be "Oh Heskey was a Dean Ashton lite" or some other similar player, always has to resort to "oh he's a insert other big black strikers name lite"

It feels like that for sure.

Tough job being a black striker on Merseyside

2017 and this sort of thing still permeates. Sad times indeed.

Twitter gives these idiots a voice. So much of it about most can't be bothered challenging it.

Zaha the most recent.

Nobody ever said Paul Rideout was lazy.

Didn't we have fans tweeting one black player that looked nothing like the actual player at finch farm to ask if it was him? Wowsers.

Anyhow, Heskey at Leicester £40m, Heskey at Liverpool £15m.
