He would have lamped Shearer. Still don't get people that pine for Shearer, before he went Blackburn maybe but then we probably wouldn't even have got Eric. Would have won one more league and never won the treble if we got him. He was a dinosaur; magnificent but perfectly suited to his surroundings. Andy Cole > Alan Shearer and he didn't take Penalities and Free Kicks.
