RVP scored more than Bergkamp for us in far less games. Brilliant players. Bergkamp's style and team play made him one of a kind.

Think RVP is still a bit underrated by some

Bergkamp will always be my favourite. Henry had pace and power over Dennis though, and if you ask me who I would rather have out of the two, it will always be Henry.

Bergkamp is a genius, but it's a results business, and Henry's consistency led to better results.

Not only are you underrating Bergkamp by claiming they're incomparable but Bergkamp closer to RVP? The latter's not half the player.


Rvp is comfortably better footballer Dennis bergkamp.

Sheriff

Again that comes down to how you define better. Who can win you more points or who can do more with a football? I'd argue that Bergkamp is capable of more, but like was said, he needed players to be on his wavelength.

Its why it is so hard to compare Xavi to Ronaldo, and why Messi is truely great, he can do it both ways.

For the record, I'd say Henry but I prefer Bergkamp (or do I? They are my favourite 2 players ever, F^** it, i'm not going to choose).

To mention RVP alongside Bergkamp is criminal. RVP is but a poor imitation.

I prefer Henry to Bergkamp by the way. Henry was unstoppable.

Bergkamp was a good striker but wish he'd scored more. Still an amazing player.

"Rvp is comfortably better footballer Dennis bergkamp."

Well, well. I'll just dismiss that as a 'wum'. Won't even bother.

RVP was/is a better goalscorer.

Dubbed you're clueless if you think DB was anywhere near Zidane. Technically they were similar that's it. But what they did was completely different.

Technically, yes. What's so outrageous about that? Zidane's a human too. Not an untouchable robot machine.

Vela is technically better than Bergkamp

Zidane is the greatest ever. Bergkamp IMO greatest ever prem player. they aren't as far apart as some of you suggest. but they aren't cloes.

Rvp scores goals.

On a week in, week out bases, Henry was the most devastating forward this league has seen and often a one-man attack. He was a great goalscorer, a scorer of great goals and the most creative player in the league too. He is comfortably superior to Bergkamp.

-----------------

Henry was a goalscorer. He is the best striker I have seen in the premiership, but Bergkamp was a completely different type of player. In his earlier Arsenal days, he was a pretty handy goalscorer as well.

Dennis was a sublime player, one of the most technically gifted players I have ever seen and not an out and out striker - he played a pretty similar role to that of Fabregas in our side. Our formation hasn't actually changed that much since the invincibles; although people often claim we played a 4-4-2, it was so fluid and would probably be called a 4-2-3-1/4-4-1-1 in the modern game).

The comparison isn't quite the same as a defender to striker, but it is difficult to compare two men whose styles were so markedly different.

The one thing which, theoretically, could be used to judge is how much weaker we looked without one than another. In my opinion, we looked worse without Bergkamp than without Henry from around 2001-2003 when both were pretty much in their prime, but it's a hugely subjective debate.

Henry was the better goal scorer. That is obvious. But Bergkamp was pretty much better at everything else.

Bergkamp was an excellent creator and a good goalscorer.

Henry was an excellent creator and an excellent goalscorer.

The ways they created may have differed slightly, but their records speak for themselves. I'd much rather have Henry.

"Rvp scores goals."

You wouldn't say that if he still played for Arsenal.

Henry was the better goal scorer.

-------

Henry scored far more, created far more (surprising but true), dribbled better, was more athletic and agile, greater physical presence and a much bigger handful for opposition defence. I think what you meant was other than defter control, Bergkamp had diddly squat on Henry.

Henry was the better player for me. Bergkamp is little over rated imo (which i know most people would angrily disagree). Especially when people compare him to Zidane

Not only are you underrating

If anything I'd say Bergkamp's
not far of Zidane.
--------

Bergkamp's level is closer to RVP than it is to Zidane. I rate Bergkamp highly but a bit like United fans with Cantona, we overrate him by claiming he's on Henry's level or better.

Technically they were pretty similar. Obviously Zizou's achieved more in his career.

Still amazed at the amount of idiots putting Bergkamp down on here.

Dubbed you never even seen Beegkamp or Zidane other than YouTube clips.

I can tell you from watching both regularly that Zidane was possibly the best ever until I saw Messi. Bergkamp was though top 3 all time PL talents.

50p
Fyi I've seen all these guys from watching full games, albeit not live.
Makes no difference.

There are similarities between Zidane and Bergkamp, that kind of sublime touch and effortless genius. I just think Zidane was on another level, one that very few have reached.
