babakol:[b]Thierry Henry is one of the most underrated players ever to play the game and one of the greatest ever as far as I’m concerned. In terms of pure goalscoring at the top level, Thierry is near on untouchable. He smashed Arsenal’s goalscoring record set by the great Ian Wright, and has won every major international honour going and every league title in every league he’s played in. He’s also won The Champions League, countless FA Cups, Copa del Reys, and even a UEFA Super Cup and Fifa World Club Cup to boot. Added to that, he’s France’s all time top goalscorer, third in the list of all time Premier League goalscorers (only behind Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole) and the highest scoring foreigner to play in England. He’s also got a shed load of personal awards and accolades, and was voted the greatest foreign player ever to play in the Premier League. And his goalscoring record for Arsenal is bordering on the unbelievable. His first season in England (the one where players need to “settle” into the league) he notched up 26 goals in all competitions. After that, he scored 22, 32, 32, 39, 30, 33 and 12 in the next 7 campaigns.[/b] |

babakol:We can debate Best for another. For now that is off the topic. As for the EPL. Thierry Henry is the greatest. CR7 who was voted the best only had three spectacular seasons. |

babakol:I knew you were going to list awards. That is not what you use to judge who is better. List goals and assists. Not awards. Note, I agree CR7 is the best talent to play in the EPL. Sir Bobby Charlton said he is the best talent he saw wear the Man Utd jersey. My point is not whether he is the best talent to play in the EPL. Is he the best player in the EPL? Did he achieve or perform better than Henry in the EPL? Total performance? No. Henry reigned long and stood out longer than CR7. |
Re: Cristiano Ronaldo Voted Best-ever Premier League Player - Ahead Of Thierry Henry by babakol(m): 11:51am On Feb 08, 2015 |
thegoodjoehunt3:of course he reigned longer because he spent more years and was already a matured player when he arrived.....and talking about achievements... Henry doesn't even come close despite playing longer than him in EPL.....talking about who had the greater influence overall in EPL..I'd pick henry...but then Henry never reached Ronaldo's level of 2008-2009. |

babakol:Is CR7 the best talent to play in the EPL? Yes. As I said, I am a strong CR7 fan. Is he the greatest player of the EPL. No way is he? |

Ronaldo effectively grew up in England and had two seasons which I would say were better than Henry's best. but Henry's longevity in the Premier League probably shades it for him. Henry was great, he really was, but he was in the Cantona, Giggs bracket, which is very good, but still some way short of Ronaldo/Messi level. 1 Like |

Henry never won the UCL with Arsenal.He also didn't win the world's best player.Ronaldo remains the first and last player to win the world best player playing in the EPL.He also holds the record for most goals in a single EPL season. |

Re: Cristiano Ronaldo Voted Best-ever Premier League Player - Ahead Of Thierry Henry by thegoodjoehunt3(m): 8:56am On Feb 12, 2015 |
Krasid:Henry was actually the best player in the World in 2004. However, Ronaldinho was given the award despite Thierry Henry leading Arsenal to the invincible season. He also led Arsenal to the Champions League Final where they lost to The Rijkaard's Barca. No doubt CR7 was exceptional but Thierry Henry was exceptional and the star man of the EPL longer than any other player. That is why he is the greatest. He reigned as the star player of the EPL longer than any other player. |
Re: Cristiano Ronaldo Voted Best-ever Premier League Player - Ahead Of Thierry Henry by Krasid(m): 9:37am On Feb 12, 2015 |
thegoodjoehunt3:Almost, almost, almost.Almost achieves nothing. Did he win the UCL in a premier league team?NO Did he win the world's best in a premier league team?NO |
Re: Cristiano Ronaldo Voted Best-ever Premier League Player - Ahead Of Thierry Henry by thegoodjoehunt3(m): 9:43am On Feb 12, 2015 |
Krasid:What is almost? I explained to you that he was clearly the World best in 2004. Ronaldinho was trophyless in 2004 but he was awarded the World best despite Henry's remarkable invincible season. Also, CR7 won the World best no doubt. He was also the best player in the EPL for two seasons. Henry was the best for almost five seasons. CR7 is the best player to play in the EPL. But, he is not the best player of the EPL because his reign was short. |
