Rooney was also one to shine on the big stage"At his prime at United? £130million," said Gabby. "Rooney was a joke! He'd smash you, get it off you and put it in the top bins or put someone through. I remember the pass for [Robin] Van Persie against us, over the top and volley first time."
Like Gerrard, Chelsea legend Frank Lampard proved his world class status on a regular basis and is also internationally held in such high regard.Gabby believes that he too would go for a record sum in the modern day: "£120million. If Rice and these players are on hundreds, Enzo Fernandez too, Lampard and Gerrard are better players. £120million, easy."
"I'd say £100million, I don't think he was as good as Gerrard and Lampard. He was a very good player, Scholes, but I'd put him just below them a little bit.But the same can't be said for Scholes who is ranked a little lower"Yeah [he didn't have as many goals or assist], Scholes was outstanding don't get me wrong, his passing, he had a bullet of a shot, but I just think Gerrard and Lampard were a bit better. So I'd say £100million for Scholes.
"Rio is a better defender than Van Dijk, Rio is the best ever centre-half in the Premier League. Him, John Terry, Vincent Kompany in their primes, you're talking £120million.""I don't care," he said about how no defender has ever cost more than £100million. "I think in this day and age now, how good he was, better than any defenders of this era, I really think £120million for Rio.
Alan Shearer still holds the record for most Premier League goals with 260, one that Harry Kane is only 48 strikes off beating.There's a chance no one will ever break Shearer's scoring recordHe recently signed for Bayern Munich though in a near £100million deal, with Shearer also close to such a sum if he was to be sold today: "I'd say not far off Harry Kane, I'd say £100million.
