All time

Ronaldo - Apps 694. Goals 442
Messi - Apps 527. Goals 403

Since Ronaldo has moved to Madrid.

Messi has 281 goals and 100 assists in 277 appearances (all comps)
Ronaldo has 257 goals and 64 assists in 269 appearances (all comps)

Messi is better for me. Athough Ronaldo seems to have found a new level recently.
Messis record pisses all over ronaldos
 
Both incredible but the little mans assists sets them apart imo.
So does his goals tally, its only the last year to 18 months ronaldo has been on the same level/better

Agreed, hes much better at the minute, messi has been better for about 5 of the last 7 years

Aye. I thinks thats fair enough.

The way I look at it is. Both have similar records, Messi slightly better so basically he does everything Ronaldo does (plus a tad more) without the physique of Ronaldo and he makes it look effortless.
 
Henderson is getting to be as good as Gerrard was at about the same age. Just needs to have more confidence in his finishing ability.

His work rate and passing range are already up there with a young "Stevie G"
Gerrard by 24 240 games 28 goals Henderson 230 games 20 goals.

But in the next 6 seasons gerrard scored 104 goals(I can't see henderson ever replactating that)

messi is past his best and playing deeper now. Its a good move by barca as he'll never be scoring like he used to. Not anymore. Only Ronaldo can these days.

You never know, a lot depends on how he's played and if he gets a few under his belt, how his confidence (and where he's subsequently played) changes.

The thing is though, after watching Gerrard score only 28 goals in 240 games, nobody would have ever thought him capable of scoring 104 goals in 6 seasons.

Henderson has improved inmeasurably in the last 2 seasons and actually gets in some excellent positions. With a little more practice and a little more belief he'll start scoring double figures every season imo. Perhaps not as many as Gerrard because he won't take free kicks and penalties but certainly enough to be considered a goal scoring midfielder.

Nobody could see Gerrard improving like he did. Not at the time. With hindsight it was obvious.
 
He's not been playing in the best league in the world though. I'm not saying the EPL is, because it is. I'm saying that becasue in comparison with Italy and Spain, it is. Plenty of time on the ball in those leagues. I wish our league would be more like therm tbh It's better to watch and the "running around like headless chickens" is shite to watch.
