Just to illustrate the great career this guy had I thought i'd put together a XI of his top team mates. Playing in Ajax's 3-4-3 formation that won the Champions League in 1995.

Van Der Sar XI
posted on 12/9/11
Henry was at Juventus for the 1998-1999 season
Van der sar was there, 1999-2000 & 2000 - 2001 seasons
so they never played together, not sure of the exact dates they transferred...

Most people would pick Rooney over Henry anyway. No doubting how good Henry was, but Rooney brings so much more to the table.

As Good as Rooney is, I'd take Henry in his pomp all day long and i am a manU fan, Henry had delivered consistently, Rooney still has a bit to do

Oh jesus. Hnery is the best striker to play in the premiership. Probably the best player seeing as he did it on a regular basis. Reguarly got close to 30 a season. Infact he got more than that 5 times in a row.
And his all round game was great, in terms of defensive side of his play then maybe you pick rooney and also based on his passing.In terms of all round attacking play and putting the ball in the back of the net and skill, its henry. And its not really a close decision.

See, we are agreeing here? We are adults after all. As U3123 have said, Henry is a better player than Rooney. Rooney might end up better but atm, nope.

I am not arguing that, although Shearer runs him close.
I explained why I, and probably most United fans, would put Rooney ahead of him.
And, I know you fully well understood why.

Yeh but i'm pretty sure they played for Holland together. I'll add some Juve players in.

d'oh! of course you are right. For some reason i thought it was club mates only....
and i also forgot about Zidane :S

The quality of players he has played behind is immense.
I don't thing any other United player has played with as good a players as these.

Robben ahead of Giggs? Would also have to go with Ruud over Rooney given that Zidane and Scholes in that side would constantly create. Ruud is far more clinical.
interesting thread though.
