That puts him in Bale money which kind of means overseas.
Do you think his playing style would get top bids from Madrid, Barcelona etc etc or do you think a British club would go as high as £85million?

How much did Newcastle sign him for? I'd say he'd be worth £60mil in this day and age though

He couldn't hack it in the modern game. It's came on leaps and bounds since he played. He wouldn't be able to keep up and he would struggle top operate as the lone striker. To conclude, Barnsley would be more his level these days.

How much would he be worth in the current market? Take the timeline comparison to be from when he left Blackburn after winning the league.
Would he remain in the Premier League, which he seemed well suited to, or this time around is there a possibility he'd go to a top price overseas?

Bale numbers.....
 
I think the nearest modern day comparison is Benzema; so whatever he would be touted at.
 
Was a world record fee then would be now, not many prolific goal scorers about, can do it in the premier league be around bales 80 million mark.

This. As much as I think he's dull as fuck and him being a mag he'be worth more than buck teeth cost Barca
 
no matter what we say about him, and yes we hate him as a mag, he was a CLASS act ! and an absolutely outstanding centre forward. he would fetch top dollar in today's market 100%

I think gipetto is on a wind up :lol:

You couldn't have picked more different players mind. One was a greedy fucker out and out scorer. The other gets slated for not being greedy enough.
 
He went for a British record transfer fee in 1996.

The British transfer fee now is about £57m and that was Man Utd paying for Di Maria, a Madrid substitute, so you'd have to imagine a transfer fee for Shearer now would be at least £70m.

He went for a world record fee so you're talking bale numbers for shearer in his prime. The injury ravaged shearer who played for the mags would fetch a good 5 to 10 million as well.
 
Nee way would he get away with backin into players, using his elbows etc...however It kills me to say he was the best around bsck then apark from pens like ;)
