I honestly do not know how anyone could possibly say that Bobo was simply effective and reliable.

Vieri was awesome to watch. He was a real bomber. And the best part was that when the ball went up front, he was always there and knew how to take his chances. I watch footage of him today and his strength, heading and finishing for a such a tall player absolutely blow me away. Loved watching him! An all time Inter great!

My other candidates are Ronaldo, Recoba and Adriano. In relation to Ronaldo he made things happen and could do it all. When he had the ball at his feet, you knew that there was nothing that was too hard or impossible. He was explosive and was such a pleasure to watch. There has been no one like him since and players like Ronaldo are very few and far between. Also an Inter Legend!

I am not sure if you guys saw it, but before our game with Sampdoria, there was a YouTube video of the last 11 of so minutes of the game against Sampdoria at the Meazza when we came back from 0-2 to win it 3-2 in the last 10 minutes. That game is one of my favourite Inter matches of all time: all the passion and emotions, the goal celebrations, pure and unbridled joy! I watched the last 10 minutes of that game again and the way Recoba used to pull the strings and thread passes with his beautiful left foot was fantastic to watch. His set pieces and his ability to strike the ball from distance were second to none. I loved him at Inter and loved him for Uruguay. Words can not describe his left foot. I often wish that Recoba could have played forever.

And then there was Adriano. When I think of him, all that comes to mind is brute force and power. I remember when he was on loan at Parma and Fiorentina, I followed his every match and the anticipation I had for when he would return home to Inter was immeasurable. Adriano was very exciting to watch: Il Emparatore was such a fitting name! His ability to control the ball, and left foot were devastating. Sadly, my next thought when it comes to Adriano is often what could have been.

They well and truly do not make players like this anymore. When I think about the strikers we have had in the past, what really stands out is that we had some football greats. No disrespect to our current players, who are acceptable for what football is today, but they absolutely have nothing on the likes of Vieri, Ronaldo, Recoba and Adriano. Our current strikers could play until they are 100 years old and would never hone their skills or reach the heights of these players.

And that is one thing that really bothers me about Suning. Inter is a club renowned for having extraordinary/Legend players on their books. But in football today, we are just making up the numbers: every player has a price and Suning, no matter who the player is, is willing to sacrifice them and their legacy. In this regard, I am talking about the likes of Bastoni, Barella, Skriniar or Lautaro. It is absolutely disgusting.

Would you like to rephrase that? Bobo WAS effective and reliable.

Vieri must be there for sure. Relatively unknown came to 98 NT and set it on fire. Not sure if he was part of Inter then, or switched the next year.

Wouldn't call a la liga top scorer "unknown" in any relativity

I mean in NT level. that was his first year, he was too young for 94. Basically, what he did in 98 in terms of scoring and being the face of the attack, was like Rossi in 82.

It is funny you mention his time at Atletico Madrid. I think they thought they were simply getting a player that was serviceable. But he went to Spain and absolutely lit it up! I honestly think that Atletico Madrid did not know what they were getting. They underrated him and saw a player that scored 8 or so goals at Juventus and thought he would be able to help or contribute but in no way did they think they were getting a top scorer.

I absolutely love Christian Vieri. Six years and 143 goals at Inter and he is not in LGI and yet Christian Eriksen is there with six months of service: farcical.

Lmao are we seriously talking about LGI for the 5xxxxxxth time? Vieri is my all time favorite player over Zanetti and it doesn't bother me that he's not on LGI, i really don't understand why people don't understand that it's meaningless.

Ronaldo, Adriano, Recoba, Bobo and honestly, Maicon, Zanetti and Eto'o. First spot goes to Ronaldo, but all of these made me excited, be it a long run by Zanetti or the pure talent and sheer power of Adriano

D'Ambrosio and Skriniar get me excited when they make a heroic block
