Cristiano Ronaldo, without a hint of doubt...
Thierry Henry
Sergio aguero
BBC Sport Agüeroooooo
Sergio Aguero
Henry was in his prime in the pl and ronaldo was up and coming but personally Id go for Fellaini..
I've never seen a player chest a ball as good as fellaini. Never!
@@Leviathan123456 I've never seen a better touch than Lukaku
I've seen united in 5th 😂
@@B3MadeIt fellaini is nothing compared to the real G.O.A.T.
-phil jones
Я Σ П Σ G Λ D Σ Ƨ Ө Ц П D Fellaini wasn’t actually on the list, but Héctor bellerin was so I’d say he is the best
As a United fan for 30+ years I have to say the only player I've seen that even comes close to Messi n Ronnie in terms of entertainment combined with numbers is Thierry, the guy was pure magic.
Messi > Ronaldo though
Also entertainment wise messi, the real Ronaldo, Henry and ronaldinho were far more entertaining than Portuguese Ronaldo
Ronaldinho ?
Marvin Amankwa-Dei - TH-cam him 🙈🙈🙈
Anthony Michaels I was saying how could he not mention Ronaldinho
@@user-qd6im2hp2e He said in combination with numbers though. Ronaldinho had good numbers but they werent top top level, his best ever season for goals and assists in a league was about 35 whereas henrys was 49 in the premier league
I do like aguero but watching Thierry Henry made me fall in love with football. For me its Henry!
Really glad that Drogba got a good shout. He's my all time favourite striker, but Thierry Henry absolutely is the best overseas (and overall) Premier League player, hands down.
John Terry once said that Henry was the only player that kept him awake at night
What about Wayne Bridge???
Henry said about terry that he was the only player who kept his wife awake all night
Lloyd Gittens zola Lol
@@queenscoloursquadron9421 lol
@Lloyd Gittens trained with him everyday and is a Chelsea fan so sure he would have mentioned him if he thought he was the best
Thierry Henry is the reason I started watching the English Premier League in 2001. He scored a lot of goals, created a lot of goals, and played elegantly. No one has won the golden boot more times (4) and no one has provided more assists in a season (20).
He was also a part of the legendary ‘invincibles’ team that went the whole 2003/2004 season unbeaten.
Too bad he wasnt a part of the 'Invincibles' side that went 16 years without a title
@SpankMeSanta if you look at the numbers again, you will realise that Henry only scored a couple of goals from penalty unlike Aguero. His numbers would have been a lot higher if he were the designated penalty taker.
They didn’t go the whole season unbeaten. They lost to United, Middlesbrough and Chelsea in the cups. The whole ‘Invincibles’ myth ignores that though
3636poll They went unbeaten in the English Premier League, not other cup competitions.
me too
Coming from a Chelsea fan since 1995.... there is only one answer, it's Thierry Henry.
There has never been another player like him. He was as graceful as a ballerina and as devastating as Mike Tyson. Never seen anyone score a range of beautiful goals like him. He also assisted plenty of goal and was extremely unselfish. He scored the kind of goals that is the reason you watch football for.
Pretty much every player who played against him said he was the toughest opponent. Just ask John Terry or Jamie Carragher who played against the very best. They both said Henry was the toughest. John Terry said more than once, that Henry gave him a bad feeling before a game, and no other player had that effect on him.
Denis Bergkamp, most underrated player of all time.
From a Spurs fan.
@Tim Loves Bacon he said in an interview that he didn't intend to do it like that, so therefore I believe for that second he just followed his instinct (and the ball obviously ; )
He scored some magnificent and important goals
He made some incredible assists
Legend hands down, hats off
@@realsciencerhythm shut the fuck up what are you talking about after the match they asked him and he said why are you asking this question of corse i did. And without hear it from him the flow of his movement can tell that he was aiming for that you dumb ass
@@realsciencerhythm He scored similar goals many times. Check his goal vs Argentina and others for Arsenal.
Fuckin outstanding player could you say underrated though. Personally I think he’s better than Henry
Not true
From an Arsenal fan .
As a Liverpool fan, without a doubt, Henry. I have never seen anyone make the game look so easy whilst being so graceful
CR7 is light years ahead of Henry. Yeah, Henry was a great player, but CR7 is a cut above the rest and his statistics back it up.
@@drewking250 they're talking about the premier League only dumbass. Henry's time in the premier League was much better than Ronaldo's.
@@arithmetic7105 are you deranged? The title of the video is "who is the best overseas player in premier leaque history". Its obviously ronaldo considering he played at man utd for a long time
@Blized im 29 and Ronaldo at united was better than Henry ever was during his time at Arsenal. He even scored more goals in a PL season when he played as a winger (31 - 2007-2008 season against Henry's 30 during 2003-2004 season). This doesn't take into account assists, dribbles and general game contributions, which obviously ronaldo smashed Henry in every aspect. Ronaldo is light years ahead of Henry, he is up there with the top 5 players of all time ffs, anyone who thinks Henry was a better PL player is simply a deluded Arsenal fan.
@Blized Deluded. How many ballon d'ors does Henry have? How many does Ronaldo have? Should answer your question.
Thierry Henry Stats -
5th in all time PL goals record. (175) in 290 apps, Considerably less appearances than all those above him in the records. Also he rarely took penalties, only 23 of his goals came from the spot.
11th in all time assist record (74).
Record holder most assists in one season (20).
Won the golden PL trophy, only one team has ever managed it. during that run of 49 undefeated games, Henry scored the most goals, played the most minutes (4,312) and provided the most assists (19).
Holds record for the most PL golden boots (4)
Only player to score 20+ goals in 6 successive PL seasons. with 24 goals being his lowest tally in that 6 season run.
If your talking about trophies and want to mention that he didn't win the CL at Arsenal even though he single handedly beat Real Madrid at the bernabeu (only english side to do so) in the semi to get us to the final, he won the treble at Barcelona.
Henry scored against 34 of 35 Premier League opponents he faced. The only team he did not score against were Swansea, against whom he played for just 24 minutes in a substitute appearance in 2012 when he came back on loan. So, prior to his comeback, he had a perfect record against every Premier League opponent.
He won the world cup with france in 1998. and the euros in 2000.
He is France's record goalscorer with 51 goals.
Arsenal's all time leading goalscorer with 228.
Henry was the runner-up for the FIFA World Player of the Year. He was named the PFA Players' Player of the Year twice, and the FWA Footballer of the Year three times, and has been named in the UEFA Team of the Year five times.
He won 2 FA cups and 2 league titles with Arsenal.
Tottenham Should Just Fold Their Club - Those are unbelievable stats. Shocking to read them all. Who were the majority of those assists for I wonder! Scored so many but set up a lot too. I’d assume RVP or Abebayor?
This was a delight to read
Kanan Scowcroft It’s crazy when you reflect at these stats. Truly amazing
This stats is amazing . Thanks bro
Great player nice stats but not more impressive then Ronaldos years
Henry hands down. In his prime he'd waltz through teams for fun. Incredible player
Henry was the reason I became a fan of premier league and Arsenal. His skills, his elegance, his ruthlessness in front of the goal, his charisma, his strength, his speed, this guy had everything and truly was the best at his prime. No one I don't think is even close to being the best player in the premier league except for Monsieur Henry.
A Tottenham fan and it’s Henry but I don’t like to admit it
George Sack same here, but then he never badmouthed Spurs like some other Gunners.
Boris Müller yeah he was always very humble, but to be honest when he played we was a world away from the goons so
Arsenal fan, but I loved how Ginola played during his stint at Spurs.
Henry is a strong candidate, but purely in terms of ability, stats, impact on the team, Lukaku tops him here I think
Abel Csabai your attempt at making a funny joke have failed.. please don’t try again
Henry and Bergkamp made the game look entertaining, it wasn't just about goals, it was about creating magic.
And pires and vieria
Arsenal? No Boring? When?
How many Balon D Ors and champions league between them? How many for ronaldo?
The fact Gullit said Drogba over Henry shows why he didn't make it as a manager!
Didn't you watch it to the end?
His reason was good though.. And later on for the best player overall he did pick Henry
He didn't say that, he was just making a case for Drogba, that's how a debate works. You can argue in favour of something you don't necessarily believe in.
i think he got confused or was being too specific. he did say at the end that he thinks henry is the better player but in the striker category he narrowed it down to number 9s.
Bergkamp on ability alone. He would do things on the pitch that other players couldn't imagine, never mind actually execute. A truly remarkable talent. Yes he didn't dominate like the others mentioned but he was miles ahead of the others in terms of pure ability. "If he played football in the snow, he wouldn't leave any footprints."
bergkamp was great but let's not get it twisted he was not the prime reason for most of Henry's goals cmon Henry created most of his goals by himself he topped the goalscoring chart and topped in assists in one season that's just crazy bergkamp was a genius but naaah Henry was an alien.
Totally agree with what ur saying mate, the goal against Newcastle probably the most intelligent goal iv ever seen ,buy Henry was phenomenal
Overrated. Couldn't hack it in Italy.
@@Al-ji4gd was 2nd for ballon d'or in italy lol
@@wormsrock Lol that was from his time in Ajax. He went to Italy in the middle of that year. He was 2nd because he had a great season with Ajax before, where he was top scorer and won the UEFA Cup.
Has to be Henry but Bergkamp will always be my personal fave
u gay
Hardly an arsenal fan are we?
Bergkamp just _loved_ taking the piss out of defenders, the goal-scoring was just a by-product of that :) Henry was kinda the opposite, in that sense.
My thoughts entirely.
Dennis was the main man im gay id let dennis bum me
Ronaldo won his first Ballon D'or in 2008 when he scored 42 goals that season. I think it's an understatement to say that he only became so good when he went to RM.
thats not what they said. they said that he evolved even more than that,,,and that he didnt keep the 2008 level for enough years while he played in the EPL
rcmanization I’m just making a case here that he surely deserves a spot. I mean seriously the conversation was between Viera, Silva and Fabregas. If you go by trophies, goals, appearances in the PL he still can make an argument at least! The problem for me as I said was excluding him all together like that. Like he is Pires or Ginola.
Ronaldo hit that level in 06-07 imo, 3 seasons of being the best player in the league by a mile
ah, ok then i understand your point (that it was problematic to exclude him so easily) @@AzizTastic
iirc, he was playing superbly for 2 seasons. 60/07 and 07/08; then came a huge dip thanks to real's interest @@banksfranks775
Without any hesitation it's Thierry Henry, absolutely!!
Henry was the best by a mile, for me it's not even open to discussion. He was incredible.
And Bergkamp?
@@hound83 Yes he was amazing.
You Arsenal fans are a bit delusional. Henry was superb but Ronaldo is arguably the best player in history and scored 42 in one season for Utd playing midfield.
@@joebloggs3551 I'm not an Arsenal fan. Any more incorrect assumptions you want to make about me?
@@Wally-H You know nothing about football, pretty sure that's correct.
Easily Henry hands down. Played his best year's here and had that crazy season 30 odd goals 20 assists, un-fuvking believable...
How the debate over Henry even got so far is bemusing. Unquestionably the greatest Prem player. No other player terrified opposition like the one true King.
suarez tbh, id rank them at a similar level. i bet they dont mention suarez at all; id say the best striker the premier league has ever seen, and one of the greatest strikers of all time. im pretty sure henry would agree too.
@@TheRealSamPreece I'm pretty sure you're a liverpool fan too, never in his life was Suarez better than Henry in his prime.
drogba was beast !!! drogba brought to chelsea wt henry cud never for arsenal !!!
Easy! Drogba scored goals in every title win Chelsea had and basically won them the champions league by himself. The fact that they debated without mentioning that is ridiculous. Plus Drogba was a one man wrecking crew against Arsenal ,no one player destroyed their dreams more than him.
@@shriibatsa5100 Exactly!
Bergkamp, beyond any doubts! His technical skills, insights in 'reading' the game, first touch, brilliant passing and scoring... No PL player was and will be ever so complete compared to him.
You forget the king? Only one king in english football is the one only Eric "the king "cantona
@@babapojs5686 King? Cantona was not as complete in comparison to Bergkamp.
Couldn't hack it in Italy.
No chance. Bottled it in come big moments crucially when he missed then penalty in the fa cup semi final which helped Utd win the treble. Technically amazing but no bottle
You obviously had a bottle > now get a pee and catch some sleep?@@guitarreilly
A hardcore utd fan here, without question of doubt Thierry Henry...the best and most exciting forward the premier league has ever seen without question...a fucking legend 👏.
why do they even bother doing this debate like every year when its Henry
Nah Suarez was more gifted than Henry
Finger Licking Goodness 😂
Ronaldo only player to win ballon d or and Fifa world player of the year while playing in the premier league won 3 pl titles played right mid and won cl
@@Danqz97 deluded
@@fingerlickinggoodness8648 Nope
King Thierry Henry
Peter kariuki God CR7
Fuxk_Tommy -_- Messi> fake Ronaldo
Anthony Michaels 😂never
The answer is Thierry Henry at striker and it's not even close.
Right! There is not even a discussion...
Of course, he has not only the numbers, but the overall skill for being the best all round footballer. He was not a winger.... he just liked to make those diagonal runs.
Period.
Absolutely
Yep
"He may be cast in bronze, but he always produces golden moments".... Jon Champion on Henry❤
Thierry Henry end of debate
Ronaldo?? Clown
Mo H CR7>>>Henry
But it's not the end is it! Everybody knows the greatest overseas player in the PL played for Man U.
Henry produced so many memorable moments and goals. The GOAT of EPL.
Penaldo is 2nd best of la Liga
@@anthonymichaels6625 Behave. Close but no cigar.
Henry With out a doubt! Stupid debate really. Just look at his numbers. Coming from a Liverpool fan
Bergkamp
Talking of numbers aguero is better than henry with numbers
@@StephenCarrIsBald Henry: 0.68 goals(175) per Match. 74 assist in 258 Pl games.
Aguero: 0.69 goals(161) per match. 41 assist in 232 Pl games.
He rivals him. But still behind I.m.o. that man struck fear in every defender he met. Don't get that feeling with Aguero
Aguero is playing in a time where Glenn Murray can score 20 goals 😂
"Stupid debate". You're right pal, it's only your opinion that counts. 🙄
Dennis berkamp, his touch , his unbelievable goals , his attitude , a true professional, never seen or heated of anything negative about the man.A class player.
And I'm a Liverpool fan.
Bergkamp - the master -
still the best goal I have ever seen, from a United fan
Thierry Henry was like an Eagle, a perfect blend of power and finesse. I am an Arsenal fan so biased but he took my breath away as a teenager.
TD Immanuel You and the rest of the prem clubs supporters, he was unreal and we were lucky to witness his ability in our league. Coming from a United fan. Will never forgot his wonder goal against us. Felt sick but had to applaud it
@TD Immanuel I am definitely NOT an Arsenal fan but I feel exactly the same. What an absolute pleasure to grow up whilst Henry was playing for Arsenal. Even as a non-fan, he gave us- football fans - something extraordinarily special.
If you're an arsenal fan, you must know the answer is Dennis Bergkamp.... I'm a Celtic fan and I know the answer is Bergkamp.
Henry was the reason that i fell in love with football as a kid, the way he played, everything he brought for the team and his energy on the pitch was breath taking
THIERY HENRY! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! So graceful with his long legs. He could run half the pitch with just a few strides. And he pass through defenders with amazing ease! Clinical and lethal. And he is humble too! Always the KING to me! Really enjoyed Arsenal during Henry's era.
Henry shouldve been the best of the best but drogba was the true number 9
but henry is the best of the best
Bergkamp is the best ever player, then Henry from a man utd fan
BERKAMP is class
The best player by Henry was Bergkamp.
Not better than henry but yh close
Unquestionably Thierry Henry in my opinion. From a Spurs fan.
Unquestionably CR7
Bergkamp goes above Henry, mate. Easy.
So does Aguero.
Your not a Spurs fan
shredx81 honest spurs fan wow
I've not watched this yet but the answer is Henry.
Aguero
That's what I thought john bro
Ronaldo no doubt
Jammal Akhtar Ronaldo his prime was with Real Madrid not with man utd , so Henry of course was the best and the stats talks
S.F _ in 08/09 he scored 42 goals and won the ballon d’or hows that not prime Ronaldo in a much harder league than la liga
Hard to choose between the 2. Because both played for the club i love (Arsenal) but without Bergkamp, henry couldn't of broken Wrighty's all time goalscoring record. Bergkamp was just from another planet 🌏. Most underated and talented footballer to ever play the premier league. Iceman it is! 😊👍
Thierry was the best ever in PL history. Total package: Complete goalscorer, creator, dribbler, Pace, strength, power, set-piece specialist. No weakness in his game. Ability to create special moments out of nothing, makes the game look so easy. Also a leader, captained and carried arsenal in his final years. Even went on to conquer europe with Barcelona alongside Messi and Co.
Easy pick! ❤
Best foreign player? Has to be Alan Shearer
if he wins a UCL (or even more ), I think his position is undisputed
Etrigan Frog a ucl has notn to do with the epl m8
Henry is the greatest arsenal player ever. He's either 2nd or 3rd best overseas. I'll give Ronaldo that nod. He's won everything in England on a high level being the best player on his team. He's won a ballon d'or at man u as well. Henry has never won ballon d'or or ucl while playing in England. Drogba is another I'll through in either 2nd or 3rd.
Israel Marcial the most epl golden boots (4) most assists in a single epl season (20) most pfa player of the year awards (3). Individually henry is undoubtedly the best player ever seen in the epl. Henry was arguably robbed of a balon dor in 06 when he made both the ucl AND wc final, he ended up losing out to a defender
Henry made a ucl final so trying to justify ronaldo as being better with the difference being one game is idiotic, the ucl doesn’t even have anything to do with the epl anyway.
Highly agree with Thierry Henry Arsenal has never been the same without him
I’d say Henry, but Ronaldo at Man U has a case. The man won 3 leagues in a row, a Champions league, PFA player of the year and a Ballon d’or.
Ronaldo won every trophy he could win with United, many of them as the best player, Henry did not with Arsenal.
@@Mad_Intalect arsenal was huge back then
Still not, never have been, and never will be, bigger than UNITED. I watched all those games.
@@Mad_Intalect still big players some of them best in history
All facts, C Ronaldo edges it for me but how doesn’t Henry win a ballon d’Or is confusing?
Bergkamp is the most beautiful technical player have ever grace English football you can find another players but can't find another DENNIS BERGKAMP an ICON
I love Drogba, strong as an ox and a winner, but Henry was frightening when he ran at people, and of course the touch and nose for the goal is unmatched.
Henry top class and I was lucky enough to see him play 🙌🏻
Henry played against some of the best and toughest premier league defenders and midfielders the league has seen. Vidic included. Banged goals in against all of them.
watching Zola and Bergkamp in the 90’s as a teenager was magic, I think that’s when the game was at its best, overall i reckon Cantona, Henry, Zola and Bergkamp were the best overseas players
Any mention of Paul McGrath, the players player of the year in 93, and another defender didn't win that award for 26 years.
As a liverpool fan Henry was a absolute sublime player... fantastic
Eriksen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How did he get into this video?
And Santi Cazorla and Ljungburg didn’t loooool
I’m a Spurs fan and he’s a great player but he hasn’t done enough in the PL yet to be in this conversation.
Boris Müller it’s based on players who have been in the PL TOTS.
@@realafc7436 Cazorla 🤣🤣
LiamsFriendStewie Cazorla was a cracking player, left foot, right foot just as good, fewer better passers of a ball than Cazorla.
Bergkamp and Henry up front, too good!
- Utd fan
I think alot of people forget that when Arsene Wenger brought Henry to the premier league he was a midfielder,
It was Arsene who moved him Upfront
Thierry Henry best ever Premier league footballer, the man that got me into the game ❤️
best ever is a bit of a stretch, i don't think he was in the league long enough for that
PP Hyjynx let me guess a united fan? Gareth Barry then 🤦🏻♀️
Anthony Michaels I mean players like Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard rank far higher than Henry if we're looking at the premier league.
@@pphyjynx8217 6 golden boots in a row?

Henry probably, ronaldo was immense but did not stay long enough, same with suarez
hi there. Hate your name.
Cr7 won the last balondor in the prem ..........that's all that's need to be said
@@dotkingjames2128 agree but fine margins helped, if terry didn't slip he wouldn't have won if were being real
@@dotkingjames2128 And so did Michael Owen, is he the best English player of all time in the Prem? The Balon d'Or doesn't mean you're the best of an entire era.
@@cpmc5400 the Michael Owen one was just like the modric one total robbery. Ronaldo was the last player to win the European golden shoe in the prem. The only player to give messi a run for money as the best in the world. Henry peaked at arsenal an that's it . Heck I'd even put arguero over him because the man isnt even from Europe .
Henry had 7 seasons where he dominated the premier league ... longevity/consistency, works class, dynamic, selfless ... has the special ability to change the Game single handedly unlike augero
Arsenal fan here, newer in any doubt Dennis Bergkamp is the one. Stil remember when i read the Danish magasin Tipsbladet in 1995, Arsenal sign Dennis Bergkamp for 7,5 Million Pounds. And later my friend calling me, telling, trust me, we are getting more than that, and a few days later we signed Davit Platt 🙂
Thiery Henry was the most dreaded striker to ever play against. That guy ruled Epl
Sanchez is without doubt the best player, look how well he’s done at united such a great signing less than 10 goals in 2 years unbelievable
calm down bro hes still finding his feet, wait another 2 years and youll see
😂😂😂😂😂
safe aha how long can you give him fgs
Two years? Pretty sure it's only been about 14 months
guillezorro doesn’t make a difference he is the most disappointing player in the league for the last couple of years
Thierry was so good they feared him everywhere, even when Arsenal were heavy underdogs.
Spanish media went on a 2 week coverage on how to stop Thierry in 2006, even with Zidane, Beckham and Ronaldo on their side.
Thierry went to Inter Milan to absolutely demolish the San Siro.
He went into the 2006 CL final and all eyes were on Thierry, against Ronaldinho and Eto’o.
He was a mountain of a man. And yes, he also won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2009.
For a good 5-6 years he was by far the best player on the planet. How Nedved and Chevchenko won the Balon D’Or ahead of him is still incredible.
Thierry Henry. Never forget that name.
Vieira was such an impozing figure on the field, incredible power with perfect technique, Roy Keane - the biggest warrior heart ever that won it all, David Silva - the transcending magician that's 10 years one of the best players of the league. Sheeeeesh the midfielder discussion is hard
But the fav foreign player in Premier League - Dennis Bergkamp. They guy was a gentle brilliance, like a relic from the old times of 80s football. Walking romance, the softest touch ever
Gullit talking about the Champions League when it’s about the Prem
Football Express typical Dutch, big mouth.. all arrogance.
Because drogba won the champions league with a prem club maybe and Henry didn't??? And its the biggest competition at club level. Drogba also won more trophies and was a better big game player. Although saying this Henry is the best forward to ever play in the prem. Then id say drogba and aguero
Memeology does that make him better than Henry?
Apparently gullit is a football pundit..i swear I'll do the job better than him..
@@memeology4029 Henry carried arsenal in the finals of cl and was top sorer in eurpe 2 times also he came close to winning ballon d'or and fifa world player of the year 2 times, so he is betteer, but i agree with you on one thing that drogba is better big game plater than henry.
✨Dennis Bergkamp✨
He has exquisite skills, vision and unique passing/goals assisting ability.
RockmanX Venus The ‘no look’ pass, it was easy for him. He has taught so many forwards to be great just by them watching what he did. Goal against Newcastle was legendary!
Brother u forgot his first touch not even greats like Messi , R9 , CR7 could control the ball like the way he did so hats off to him underrated
Bergkamp was pure magic to watch, henry was brilliant but for me Bergkamp was just electric and the best . Elegance, effortless and thrilling on the ball
The best I've ever seen when I grew up is Cristiano Ronaldo. Because that impact he had 07/08, when he scored 31 goals, won the CL and PL with United, a fantastic dribbler, surprisingly, got lots of assists as well, and most of all, I think he is the only player in Premier League history (if we discount Michael Owen), he won a Ballon D'Or. Ronaldo maybe been a better overall player for Real than United, but Ronaldo was for me most entertaining to watch when he played in Premier League.
My List is; GK: van der Sar, DF: Vidic, MF: Ronaldo and FW: Henry.
Today we have:
Ruud gullit - former Chelsea midfielder
Alan shearer - premier league all time top goal scorer
Chris Sutton - premier league winner with Blackburn
And Reece Smith member of the New York Times 😂😂😂😂

Surely the real credentials are knowing about PL history.
You could have the most successful player in PL history but he might not know much about which players mattered.
Bergkamp, Cantona, Zola, Pires, Ginola, Henry....The list is endless but one thing is for sure, we've been blessed to see them play in the Prem!
Cantona brings the impact in the team..that's my main point

How the fuck did it take that long to get to Henry?! Clearly the best to ever play here
How can you mention Eriksen but not Hazard ... like honestly wtf

@@zephune9506 2008 Ronaldo was not better than 2002/03 Henry. Henry had 20 goals and 24 assists in 37 games 🤯

Well Thierry Herny was maybe the most determinant striker in PL in his era, but (and please think abou it) he became in that mostly, cuz he have to his side at the most incredible and skilled player in PL history. I'm talking about Dennis Bergkamp.
I'm sure that Dennis was like a mentor for Herny after his 1 season in Arsenal.
Don't forget that Henry plays in left sidehalf position, and was just a good player. Then Nicolas Anelka leaves gunners and he start to play as striker.
So clearly you can see how important was Bergkamp for Arsenal. When he retired Arsenal start to play to another style, Bergkamp always was the key for Wenger, no doubt about it.
Henry shine and become in a deadly striker cuz have Bergkamp beside him. Bergkamp made the style, class, the brain. Bergkamp is the best and more complete player of PL.
Exactly , thank you .
NO doubt Terry Henry is The best player ever in PL. Everything he did was just a magic
looool. Terry Henry.
Pogboo Bergkamp was better and Henry himself would agree.
Thierry was not the best player. But definitely the best attacking player. There are others up for debate but Henry had it all.
Bergkamp !!!! Most beautiful style and most impact on the league
Let’s just be honest the best is Henry
Titi my boy 💪 so glad I got to see you, Patrick and Dennis at Highbury. I was so damn lucky!
How it took that long to come up with Thierry Henry just goes to show the quality the prem has had over the years but Henry was something special, swagger, confidence, skill, pace and an arrogance about him. Man could get any crowd off their feet. Arsenal could play a team and beat them but the opposition fans still got to see Thierry Henry at his peak.
Dennis bergkamp was on a different level and best player to grace the premier league
Henry any day! He made us more popular all over the world.
Even though Ronaldo was fantastic, I put Henry above him, just due to the fact that cristiano had good seasons, and one outstanding season, Henry was from day one the best player at Arsenal even with Bergkamp on the side
Bergkamp. From a Spurs fan. Technically in a league of his own. That goal against Argentina was the best goal I’ve ever seen.
Blue Beard That goals against Leicester was special. That goal against Newcastle was visually spectacular!
That goal versus Newcastle was the best. But I saw the goal versus Argentina and it was massive :)
norpan506 I will need to look for that goal against Argentina. Is it the one that was similar to the goal against Leicester? I love the goal against Newcastle it’s one of those where you couldn’t recreate if you tried, it was a spontaneous action and he left guys like Titus Bramble in a twist lying on he’s back trying to stop Bergkamp. He looked majestic in the move, twisting and twirling and finishing with an accurate side foot to the corner of the goal. Great stuff!
My favourite of his was at st James's park unbelievable
Because of that goal he isn’t just my favourite premier league import, he is my favourite footballer, ever. What a talent!
Henry is clearly the best player of the premier league era, foreign or non foreign don’t matter in this case
luis suarez. maybe on paper henry dominated the premier league in his era, but suarez is possibly the best striker of all time. even henry says it
TheRealSamPreece Suarez is trash ..misses sitters constantly
TheRealSamPreece Suarez isn’t even the best striker of his era, let alone all time
@@TheRealSamPreece bullshit---the best vampire maybe
No chance, best player of the Prem era is Giggs. I do not even like Giggs or support Man U but the games,the goals from midfield, the trophies, the shagging he has done is 2nd to none.
Ability and technique was Bergkamp. Henry was explosive but Bergkamp did things I've only seen him do. That swivel flick and goal? 🤯
Ronaldo was the most talented, and most match winner. No questions.
Cantona the most important, influential, and retired at the top.
Henry the most versatile, had his peak throughout.
Henry was out of this world, no contest IMO just miles ahead... god i miss watching that guy..
Henry and it's not close. Everyone feared him and he had the complete technical, athletic and mental package. Arsenal massively underachieved in Europe with that squad.
How can this even be an argument lol. It’s so obvious Thiery Henry!
It's an argument bt yeah overall Henry
Answer: Thierry Henry
You don't need a 25 min video.
Ronaldo won a Bdor while in the EPL. He is number 1 for sure
@@claudemakelele2856 No, he's not. I've watched them play, and by that time CR7 wasn't at level he reached at Madrid. He was a great player, but not better than Henry at the time.
@@Hunter-cm3tt ..then why didn't Henry win the balon dor there?
@@claudemakelele2856 it's not about Bdor mate, there's many great players who hasn't won the Bdor so just cause Ronaldo has won the Bdor doesn't mean he was better than Henry at the time
@@dayo9927 As the mate above said, there are plenty of great players that've never won the title of the 'best'. Cristiano was the best player in the World in that season, and had started to become one of the best in history but wasn't quite there yet, he achieve the most at Madrid, I think you could say he's the best player in UCL history but not EPL. If we talk only about EPL, Henry had done better overall speaking in the course of time the two had played in England.
Top 3 for me:
1. Thierry Henry
2. Dennis Bergkamp
3. Sergio Aguero
Bwahahahaha no ronaldo. Joker
@@SM__10 wasnt here long enough mate
@Damian Papadimitropoulos because he played as a midfielder not a forward
@@SM__10 Wasn't there long enough and definitely didn't do as much in the league compared to these three
@Rob Ward Great player obviously. Better than Henry, Bergkamp or Aguero? No for me.
Pre-Bergkamp
Post-Bergkamp
I love how Gullit was talking about Drogba's goal in the Champions League Final when they were talking about the player in terms of the _PREMIER LEAGUE_
Ronaldo is the only premier league player to win the Ballon D'or to date! 40+ goals as a WINGER. Plus im surprised Torres wasn't mention. Most Lethal striker in the world when he was in Liverpool.
Xeo H'ghar Michael Owen won in 2001.
Good case for El Nino
totally agreed ,if in terms of the most taleneted then its cr7
The only premier league player who "deserved" a ballon dor
Michael owen is shite
He doesn't play anymore so saying he is shite is dumb af!
Anyway Owen was world class you fucking doughnut!
RONALDO no question
He’s been in his prime for 10+ years . Also he won the balon dor at Man U so get your facts straight
That's so true stats are obviously important but impact cannot be quantified.
Cantona's impact was so much that he brought everyone's attention to EPL and UNITED. Everyone knew what this team was up to and what it could become thanks to the King.
one of the best striking duo..Shearer and Sutton :)
Alvaro morataaaa no doubt about it
😂😂😂 clearly yaya sanogo was the best that did it
Pfffft, obviously you know nothing, the best is clearly shokdran mustafi 🙄
@@tomahawkz1238 no you clearly know nothing because its lord bendtner ;)
@Taffy 83 lord bendtner? He can't even lace lord fellainis boots.
You're all morons, it's very obviously Shane long
Henry all day and i'm just a Stoke fan.
What's the relevance of being a stoke fan? They werent thinking Henry or Berahino
Intriguing how they didn't even mention Roy Keane for midfielder, Irish is overseas is it not?
Or Denis Irwin for defender
Aye! Wouldn't leave Dennis Left Back in the Changing Rooms! Let alone Keano!?
I think they meant out of the United Kingdom. So no Irish...no Scottish...
@@exmachina4010 Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom
@@exmachina4010 Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are part of the the UK. But Republic of Ireland not part of it
1. Ronaldo
2. Henry
3. Viera
