Henry was good but not better than Bergkamp. I wouldn't even put Henry in the same league as Ronaldo (original). Good player but as a all time legend of football next to Zidane, Ronadlinho, Cryuff....I wouldn't mention him. DB10 vision, intelligence and technique was something else. Very few players have it.Quote:

i hate quoting wiki etc, but the following quote on Bergkamp is superb;
"One night last year some legends of Dutch football gathered for dinner in an Amsterdam house. Around midnight conversation turned to an old question: who was the best Dutch footballer ever? Dutchmen have been voted European Footballer of the Year seven times, more than any other nationality except Germans. Yet Jan Mulder, a great centre-forward turned writer, chose a player who had never even threatened to win the award nor, at the time, a Champions League: 'Bergkamp. He had the finest technique', said Mulder. Guus Hiddink, the great Dutch manager, nodded, and so the matter was settled."
Look at the players they are saying he is better than.....just think about the names.....wow
Well duh!Quote:

Thats what i hate about modern football, stats, stats and stats....people use stats to say that Ronaldo is as good as Messi or more complete, BS he is just a goal hungry, greedy footballer playing in a team which has complete domination of its league...he takes the majority of freekicks, penalties etc etc
Bergkamp would never do that, he was a collective football player who made everyone around him better...do you really think Henry is scoring half of his goals without DB10 creating the pass.
yeah and most people wouldnt mention bergkamp, whats your point? (a couple clogs doesnt count)Quote:

where was bergkamp when united strolled to 3 back-to-back titles? (1999-2001). they had the deckchairs out.
eh? bergkamp was no big factor by the time henry was dominating. well in decline. the true playmaker by the time henry was on the prowl was robert pires. stunning player.Quote:
