Emery Gone, Telly Back On
Never seen him myself tbh, was kidding.
Can't get myself excited over these kind of players these days, too many ups and downs, too much playing time, etc.

Henry didn't need good players around him, he'd pick up the ball in his own half and end up scoring a goal. If you threw him into Crystal Palace he'd probably score 30 goals a season.

Well if we can't get the finished articles ie the Suarez', Higuains, Aubameyangs of this world then I say we're better off going for one of these young hotshots(Mbappe, M Dembele, Andre Silva, Alex Isak, Dolberg, etc) who are 90% destined to become top players then wasting more money on mediocrity like Welbeck, Lucas Perez or Jamie Vardy.
Not exactly tall though, Henry really did have it all in that regard.
I'd question how seriously we're interested if Wenger's talking about him. Surely that only attracts more clubs and increases fee?

Coming through Monaco helps but putting up good production at senior level & killing his age group with France. Fast & direct as a player.. Thierry is a stretch but higher ceiling than Martial for me.
Thought he would feature more for Monaco but everyone even fringe players seem to be in great form.

05/06 was one of Henry's most complete seasons and we were v poor that year, bar getting to CL final. Aged stars, kids, lack of balance, useless away from home, no Vieira.
Definitely 30 goals min in the current team which has a wealth of quality but is being mismanaged imo.
Country: Canada
Not to mention defending has gone to ****e IMO, prime Titi would absolutely make a mockery of the PL in its current form.
Country: England
Exactly. Always wondered why the likes of Ronaldo 9 and Henry didn't put up the silly numbers that forwards do these days.
Must be due to the state of defending these days.

I think he'd make a real run at 40 goals/20 assists in the league alone if he were in his prime right now. Look at the absolute assault that Suarez made on the league his last season at Liverpool despite missing 6 matches through suspension and consider that the standard of defending has only dropped since then and Henry was considerably better than Suarez.

Ronaldo scored 47 in 49 games during his one season at Barcelona, which bearing in mind that he was 19 and new to the league is pretty impressive.
I'm sure with Xavi and Iniesta behind him plus a few extra red blood cells his numbers would have at least matched those of Messi and counterfeit Ronaldo.
Also 54 in 57 for PSV at the age of 18.
He would have obviously got better with age as well but injuries took away the chance to see how good he would have been.
It gives you some indication that even with two f*cked knees and a weight problem he was the best player in the world and top scorer in the World Cup.
If he hadn't been robbed of his pace and athletism he'd have been the best player ever imo.

I agree, absolutely incredible at his peak. A level above Henry and that's saying something.
Two balon d'ors by the age of 21 right?

I think you're right, Messi is incredible and it might be the nostalgia talking but I still think R9 was better.
He had everything, Henry's pace and power, Messi's dribbling, Ronaldinho's skills.
And just to remind myself I'm remembering correctly, as I was young:
some of this shít should be illegal.

R9 Ronaldo, for me, was a better player than Messi.
Not taking anything away from Messi, amazing player but Ronaldo was just sensational. I still remember watching him tearing Serie A apart - toughest league in the world at the time and he ripped through defenses (with proper defenders and old skool tackles) with pure skill, power, speed and made it look so easy.
Injury ruined a player that I have no doubt would of been rememberd as the greatest of all time.

In what way? Messi is the greatest ever, in every aspect.

His contract runs until summer 2019. If he doesn't sign a new deal he could be there for the taking.
Long legs are back in fashion. Mbappe/Dembele lol.

Not gonna happen.
Country: Australia
30 goals and 10-15 assists . We'd score a hundred goals a season with Henry there .
Country: Iceland
We need this to happen. Tired of Sanogo, Asono, Bischoff of this world.
