Henry won 2 Premier leagues, CR7 won 3... so ?

4 golden boots, 2 PFA & 175 EPL Goals in 258 Appearances. Ronaldo won just one golden boot and scored 84 goals in 196 Appearances.

You still choose to act like you do not understand CR7's impact, so I will leave you to your opinion which is not a fact! Henry might have played many seasons and had more goals, but 3 seasons of CR7 was better, highly impactful, more important and most recognized worldwide.

I have said it time and time again that, CR7 impact is not and can never be in doubt. This is a Premier League Award and it should be given based on PL performances. You can't give a Premier League Award based on UCL performances. I am not in anyway comparing CR7 & Henry. Generally, Ronaldo is a better player and everybody knows that....but my argument is simple that Henry had more impact in the Premier League. I mean just the "Premier League" that's why I attached the screenshot from Skysports.

EPL best player
PFA best player

Ucl best player
Uefa best player in Europe
EPL golden boot
Ucl golden boot
FIFA best player
European best player
European golden boot
EPL trophy
Ucl trophy

All in 1 season, then imagine if he had stayed 3 more seasons.....

The argument should be based on just PL performance and achievements. Of course, I know Ronaldo is a better player but Henry had more impact in the PL and this award is limited to PL history not UCL. It's not like I said Henry was better than Ronaldo in terms of overall achievements. I was speaking based on what they both achieved in PL not all round.

It is okay to prefer Henry, it is also accepted when you voice your opinion but please do not let the dislike you have for CR7, make you close your eyes to the truth. The football CR7 played at Manchester United, EPL has never experienced such individual performance by a player. CR7 dominated the league which reflected in world football ( EPL, UCL), Henry never did! It's the main reason CR7 was chosen.

Ronaldo would be my pick any day, anytime & anywhere. I am going by their impact in PL not their overall achievements. I will still say it, CR7 didn't dominate EPL. He scored just 84 League goals in 196 appearances. He won balon dor cos of his exploit in the Champions League and premier league that season and that was the only season he won top scorer in EPL. So how did he dominate PL?

Stop acting slow. The criteria as being the best transfer in EPL history encompasses all a player achieved while playing for an EPL team including performances in Europe. Doesn't EPL teams play in UEFA competitions? Read the damn article and don't just air dense opinions. A line in the article says "during his 6 seasons at old trafford he won 8 major trophies including 3 EPL and the champions league". Read!

You sound bitter & saucy. If you don't like my opinion, you can pass....stop taking things too personal. I'm not a dummy. We can't always be on the same page. The attachment below shows that, it should have been about the PL cos the writer state it that, many would argue henry made more impact in the PL than Ronaldo and that's why I refused to acknowledge Ronaldo as the best transfer of PL history. If they consider all round achievements like you said, Lampard would have been ahead of Henry too cos Henry didn't win the CL in England and Lampard scored more PL goals than him even though he never won the golden boot. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12172596/cristiano-ronaldo-is-best-premier-league-transfer-say-sky-sports-news-transfer-show-team

Winning 3 consecutive EPL titles for United, winning 7 out of a possible 8 English awards, reaching back to back UCL finals while topscoring and winning one, setting a record of most goals in a single EPL season that was only broken two seasons ago, being the last player playing for an EPL team to win a ballon d'or isn't dominating the EPL? All you have been yapping about all day is just golden boot and PFA awards; or you think the EPL only starts and ends with PFA award and golden boot. All I have mentioned since I started the discussion was Ronaldo's achievements whilst playing in the EPL. If you have nothing to support your case, take your L and stop being a fanatic.

You have only succeeded in mentioning Ronaldo's overall achievements. They said best transfer in PL history so get rid of anything that is not related to PL. I have supported my case with Henry's PL achievements not the World Cup, euro or Confederations cup he won. I said streamline you argument to his achievements in PL, you dey add UEFA competition and awards. You think I would even raise a point, if they had said the best player to ever play in England. You should not have quoted me if you didn't understand my point from the very beginning.

Lies. Henry was already a world cup winner, played in two of europe's top 5 leagues. He already had some experience.

world cup winner with how many appearances?? He obviously had potential and talent but was not a regular at Monaco neither was he a starter at juve. Wenger was the only coach that trusted in his abilities to make him a regular and that was at arsenal at the age of 22.

Krasid:
Age does matter in these type of arguments. CR7 dominating a strong league as a young player is something that can only be done by generational talents like his namesake R9 who dominated Serie A in his teens or Messi who dominated la liga at a young age. Players sometimes needs time to gather experience before becoming exceptional in a league. Salah for example wasn't exceptional in his first stint in the EPL, but look at him now. Likewise De bruyne wasn't exceptional at Chelsea but is now dominating the EPL. Hence, why a player is considered in his prime aged 25-29; because he would be more experienced than a young player. But a teenage dominating a league is something exceptional.

That's why I said, consider the fact that Henry was also young and needed time but you drew an illustration that at the age, Henry was finding his feet, Ronaldo was done conquering EPL.

Krasid:
I could say the same about Henry not being a better player in the EPL than Ronaldo, and we would be going back and forth listing each player's achievements. But the topic was about best signing in EPL history, which unequivocally should be Ronaldo. He signed as a teenager, dominated the EPL with united winning three consecutive titles as well as every possible title there was to win for United, became the best player in the world, was sold for a then world record £80m after 6 seasons when he was signed for just £12m all at a young age. This shouldn't be up for discussion.

Streamline you argument to the Premier League. How can you say, he dominated PL with just one golden boot and 2 PFA Awards Compare Henry's 4 Golden Boot & 2 PFA awards. You are using his overall achievement to judge the both players Which isn't the bone of contention here. Leave age out of it cos we also forget he is older when comparing to Messi.

Krasid:
He came at 22, spent 9 seasons; that means he played in the EPL age 22-30. Let me rephrase it, he ~~came~~ played in the EPL. Meanwhile Ronaldo left the EPL at 23 after winning everything there is to win there.
That means, at age when Henry was trying to get a stronghold in the EPL, Ronaldo already dominated and left.

Don't streamline your argument to their age. Coming at 22 means nothing.... Who was he then? He came in as a naive and inexperience player too. He took sometime before he was able to adapt which is normal for a player coming in from a different league and playing in an unfamiliar position at the time. That means he would have achieved same if he was signed at 18 just like Ronaldo.

Krasid:
Ronaldo was a RMF for the most part of his United career whilst Henry was a forward. I am not making a general comparison either, if not we wouldn't be having this discussion. Only thing Henry had over Ronaldo is EPL golden boot that's because he played more seasons and in an advanced position. Ronaldo also won the European golden boot in the season he topscored in the EPL; leaving the EPL with the record for most goals in a single EPL season which was recently broken by Salah.

how many season did he play more than Ronaldo? As a matter of fact, he didn't even play in his final season with arsenal. I agree that CR7 was a winger. He won European Golden Boot twice and was nominated for FIFA awards consecutively but eventually lost to Ronaldinho & Zidane. Ronaldo individual achievements in not in doubt or arguable but in the PL, he wasn't a better player than Henry that's my point.

Krasid:
Because he came into the EPL in his prime, while Ronaldo came in as a teenager.

Dats not true.....Henry joined arsenal at 22years. Not in his prime infact he played as a winger in Juventus before Wenger signed and converted him into one of the most fierce striker in history. He was a little older than Ronaldo but definitely not an established player. At first he wasn't scoring goals and fans were worried that Wenger sold Anelka for a player that wasn't performing but after his first season, he destroyed premier league teams. He had the highest assist (20) in a single season until last season that Kelvin Debruyne equalled it.

look below your picture, Ronaldo also has two in less seasons.On the right, the awards won were stated. In 2006/07 Ronaldo won all four awards(PFA, FWA, YPY, PPS). The next season he won 3 of the four; only missing out of the young player of the year (YPY), which he would have won if it was possible to win the award twice. That's one player winning 7 out of a possible 8 awards in 2 seasons.

Henry would have won all four too but note he was above the age for PFA young player of the year already.

I am stating them. You, check them. Henry spent more seasons(9) in the EPL than CR7 (6). Yet, had less trophies (6) than Ronaldo (9). 0 ballon d'or, 0 UEFA POTY, 0 FIFA POTY, 0 UCL. Both won same amount of PFA POTY (2). The only thing he had over ronaldo was EPL golden boot; then again, it could be argued that it was because he spent more time there. Like I said before, he doesn't hold a candle to Ronaldo.

Henry had more impact in EPL than Ronaldo. Ronaldo scored just 84 PL goals in 196 Appearances compare to Henry's 175goals in 258 appearances. Ronaldo won just (1) golden boot compare to Henry's (4) including a European golden boot out of the four he won. I am not doing a general comparison but Ronaldo was no better player than Henry in the PL.

EPL golden boot
Ucl golden boot
FIFA best player
European best player

EPL trophy

I am very much aware of all these but they never said over all best......premier league specifically. It's about performance in EPL history that's why they didn't include those in other leagues.

See the contestants below:

Cristiano Ronaldo
Thierry Henry
Eric Cantona
Frank Lampard
Roy Keane
Didier Drogba
Sol Campbell
Wayne Rooney
Vincent Kompany
Alan Shearer
Mohamed Salah
N'Golo Kante
Dennis Bergkamp
Virgil van Dijk
Gianfranco Zola
David Silva
Patrick Vieira
Eden Hazard
Sergio Aguero
Petr Cech

Ronaldo is all round better & greater than all the players listed but in EPL history, he is not better than Henry.

well, you may be right but they said PL history not all-time. He wasn't too spectacular in EPL. He was just like every other great player that once played in the PL. The records are there. Henry had a far better performance in the PL than Ronaldo. 3 times PFA Player of the Year, 4 EPL Golden boot + One European Golden boot out of the 4. Ronaldo won the EPL Golden boot & PFA Awards just once in his 6years in England.

There's no way Ronaldo is a better signing than Thierry Henry unless he was voted by fans cos he has a whole bunch of them. Who will vote a player with less than 100 premier league goals best transfer of PL history. Who will vote a player that won golden boot and PFA player of the year just once best transfer of all-time in the PL history??

We have only succeeded in apportioning blames but truth is, we have done absolutely nothing to change the status quo??

I can't remember the last time I logged on to Nairaland that the Yorubas & Igbos are not fighting for supremacy. It's appalling that, in this 21st century we are still battling with religious and ethnic tolerance.

Messi is great, no doubt BUT He is not not the GOAT!!!!

Did you see 'modern day' in my comment? Yes, I didn't watch Maradona & Pele live but the documentaries does not lie. I watched Ronaldinho from Korea/Japan till his days in Milan and I still consider Messi the GOAT.
