C. Ronaldo or Henry (in Arsenal prime)?

Who would you rather have playing for us? and who do you thing the better player is/was (as henry in the past rather than now)

I'd much rather have Henry playing for us but I think ronaldo might just sneak it as the better player...close though.

Both similar, prefer coming in from wide, not traditional wingers or strikers.

Also ronaldo is a tw*t...but same could be said about henry if you're on an irish persuasion.

better player aswell? also mate, question on a thread yesterday asking if we were the first english team to play abroad, can you shed some light MBH?

C Ronaldo. Brilliant player. One of the very best EVER. Taking into account fitness, speed, skill, finishing and the one area he beats Henry on - heading.

Indeed, does not have the finesse of Henry though but, I feel Henry would cope very well being in a lesser team - CR would huff his way around the pitch offering little between moments of sheer class. For a footy purest, standing out in a struggle surpasses standing out in great teams - all conjecture of cource as neither will ever play for 'lesser' teams.

Henry is the best ever player to play in our league in the PL era imo

Henry, I remember when they beat Leeds 5-2 at home, he got a hatrick. One of his goals was chipping Robinson whilst going down

Thierry Henry, i think everyone liked Henry and in general looked forward to seeing him play even if it was against us, Ronaldo on the other hand you just wanted someone to smash him

I remember when Arsenal tanked us 4-0 in the 19pts season i think it was at home and Henry got subbed and he got a standing ovation off both set of fans. Didnt he comment after the match about us?
