Is this just an attempt for the dumbest comment prize??
Of course it is bleedin' close, personally right now i would give it to Henry for his entire body of work but if Suarez has another season like this one then he will take the crown.
------------------------------------------------------------
It's not close at all.
Henry is bigger, much faster, a much better dribbler, a better passer, better at free-kicks and corners, more creative (he holds the PL single-season assist record) and won far more titles.
In comparison to Henry, Suarez looks clumsy and overweight.
The only things Suarez is better at are heading & goal-poaching from 6-8 yards.
If Henry 03-06 played in La Liga for the currently Barca side, he'd do insane numbers.
All you can do is at the above comment.

Which parts are wrong?
Henry- Henry is the best player I've ever seen play and he very rarely cheated.
Liquid Genius clearly on the wind up
Which parts are wrong?
=====================
Definitely a WUM comment from LiquidGenius.
Id also add that Suarez's goal record at Ajax, Liverpool and Barca is superb
Henry had an amazing spell at Arsenal, but didn't hit those heights at Juve, Monaco or Barca
Henry at his prime was a better player. Suarez is probably a better finisher and poacher but Henry played the game with a smooth fluidity and effortless panache that made him better to watch. He was more creative than Suarez. It's not as crazy a debate as it would have sounded a few years ago. Suarez has really elevated himself in that period.

Suarez doesn't take Free kicks or Penalties, pretty sure Henry did at Arsenal not sure about the others. Hes probably the best player i've seen get himself between the ball and defender and draw fouls or just turn their man despite having average pace etc, works his bloody socks off aswell lets not forget, not a luxury passenger strolling about.
Having said that its too close for me, for Barca its Luis for sure, in the EPL not so sure, think i'd lean towards Henry still, remember as a kid the guy was just awesome and cool as feck too.
Hope Suarez keeps up this form for Barca too, i felt his start although giving them a boost when he came back from serving his ban, helping dig Barca and Enrique out of a bad patch going on to scoring many important match winners etc including the winner in the final of the CL. Neymar and Messi were being a bit too selfish towards luis for my liking. They seem to have more respect and trust in him now though and they seem to have gelled. Hope they go on to smash more records as a trio.
Has anyone ever considered Henry the best player in tge world at any given time?
People arestarting to question that now with Suarez whilst playing in the same league as Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo.
Henry was an athlete. Suarez is a genius.

PL fans will say Henry
La Liga fans will say Suarez
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective football fans will say Henry. It's not even close.

I'd agree with this
Side note, Henry isn't/wasn't rated that highly outside of England (as an all time great)
back in his prime I can remember talking him up to some south americans saying he was truly world class and the general response was he was good, but if he was truly top class he wouldn't be playing in England.
which is both unfair and league snobbery, but also partly fair.
"Henry was an athlete. Suarez is a genius."

Incredible underestimation of Henry there. Severely disagree.
Suarez will still be taking the p!ss well into his 30's I reckon.

"Has anyone ever considered Henry the best player in tge world at any given time?"
Yes. He was widely regarded as the best in the world from 03-05.
"People arestarting to question that now with Suarez whilst playing in the same league as Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo."
No. They're not. He's not even regarded the 2nd best player on his own team.
"Henry was an athlete. Suarez is a genius."
So Suarez being slow and overweight is a good thing?

Henry was never the best player in the world at any given time.
"Suarez is better.. he will win Balon D'or in an era with Ronaldo and Messi"
No he won't He won the treble last season but still finished 5th, behind that goal-hanger Lewandowksi.
"could smash 60 this season."
Henry would do that easily if he played in this rubbish La Liga, in his prime, with the current Barca or Real teams.
"He also made Liverpool ffs a title contender..Liverpool under Brendan.. that in itself is insane."
Title contenders? Suarez finished 6th, 8th and 7th in his first 3 seasons at Liverpool He didn't win a dime with them and was actually so desperate for success he tried to join Arsenal.
Yes. He was widely regarded as the best in the world from 03-05.
=========================
He really wasn't.

Of course he was.
Who was better in 03 or 04?
Nedved, Shevchenko, Stevie G...
It doesn't look like many agree with you. Not on here and not in the game.
Sorry
There were always discussions over who was better - Ronaldinho or Henry.
Dinho is my favorite player ever, with Henry second. Henry scored and probably assisted more but dinho was simply special.
As for Suarez vs Henry I'd say its extremely close at their peaks. Henry had 5 great seasons. Suarez is on 3 as it stands.
Ronaldinho, Zidane, Kaka...to name just 3 players
