on an individual level and club level Ronaldo wins

posted on 8/11/13

Ronaldo won WPOTY playing for United. He was the best player in the world in his last couple of seasons at United. He scored more goals and led United to the CL final on more than one occasion (winning it once). As good as Henry was, Ronaldo was and is better.

If Henry was as influential as Ronaldo, then Arsenal would have won mor league titles. Ronaldo was the reason that we won titles in a more competitive league than it was when Henry played.

Ronaldo was better by a mile, went to spain and was a star, Henry went to spain and was an almighty flop.

Henry = best player in Premier League for Arsenal
Ronaldo = best player in the Premier League bar none

Henry does however win the "most unpopular man in Ireland 2009" award..

Most goals in a PL season:
Kevin Phillips - 30
Rooney - 27

Who is better, Siempre?

=========
Are you simple? Ronaldo has spent his peak years in Spain, whereas Henry moved to Spain with his career starting to hit a bit of a downward slope. Not only that, but he was often played out of position. I think you're doing him a grave injustice. But it doesn't take a genius to work out that Ronaldo was going to outperform him in Spain.

And showing me a trophy haul is just the most ridiculous way of comparing different players' abilities.




If Henry was as influential as Ronaldo, then Arsenal would have won mor league titles. Ronaldo was the reason that we won titles in a more competitive league than it was when Henry played.
===========
What's his excuse at Madrid then? Surely if he is so influential that he can singlehandedly win United trophies, he would have done more in his time at Madrid? Or are you just being silly?


I can accept the argument that Ronaldo is better than Henry, but comparing their time in the PL it's just not true.

Phillips in that context

"I can accept the argument that Ronaldo is better than Henry, but comparing their time in the PL it's just not true."

show us some proof of this, other than opinion

posted on 8/11/13

What context? He scored more goals which makes him better, are you thick?

And how can you call Henry an 'almighty flop' when he won 6 trophies in a calender year with Barca, double what Ronaldo has won in his entire Madrid career. Or does the whole trophy haul bollócks not apply in this situation?

Mug.

Sir Matt Busby player of the year

posted on 8/11/13

Why hasn't Ronaldo helped Madrid win more?

Bit of a rhetorical/stupid question really that totally discounts Messi + the arguably the greatest club team of all time...

posted on 8/11/13

Really? How do expect Henry to win youth player awards and Matt Busby awards while he was at Arsenal FFS!?

I can't figure out if you're serious or not. Goal.com player of the year? Obviously not.

posted on 8/11/13

The Bravo award Did he get that for winking?

posted on 8/11/13

no Premier League player has ever had a better season than Ronaldo in 2007/2008 when he virtually single handedly won the league and champions league.

Henry was a good player, a very good player, but better than Ronaldo , no.

Not really. Chelsea and Inter have won the CL during this period. Neither were outstanding teams. So there's no excuse, especially if he did it at United as you suggest.

Still laughing at that list of 'awards' Facking hell, poor Siempre
