    Tbf, Ronaldo is better than Messi but that's for another thread for another time

    One of my favourite memories was that goal Bergkamp scored against Newcastle. Amazing, I still can't really work out how he did it.

    the difference between bergkamp and those players (+ henry) is bergkamp wasnt winning games/trophies single-handedly like that. he didnt have that "game by the scruff of the neck" personality/x-factor
    If people are putting his name up there as the best Dutch player ever, that includes Cryuff and Van Basten. Legendary players. He has that sort of respect in world football but for some reason doesn't get as much publicity. Not to take anything away from Henry, but I couldn't argue that he was the best French player.

    If DB10 had played for another team or was linked with a major sportswear deal, he'd probably get more plaudits. But at the moment, he's like a footballer's footballer. You won't find many critics. I can speak to my none Arsenal mates about the guy and they'd all agree that he was on another level. Henry divides opinion. He doesn't always get the same response. He looked a totally different player for France. I couldn't make an argument for him being The best ever player for France.

    wright/anelka had bergkamp to thank. henry created goal out of thin air, for himself and others.
    What...lol....sorry when did you start watching Arsenal.lol
    Ask anyone Bergkamp and Henry was one of the greatest, if not the greatest Prem strike partnership.

    I suggest you do some youtubing mate as you obviously have not watched us for that long...lol

    But i also agree about Bobby, fcuking immense football player, at his peak one of the best left sided players to play in the Prem, or players full stop.

    I can easily make a case for henry being frances best ever player. he is their all-time top goalscorer, he was their joint top scorer when they won the world cup.... whats bergkamps case for being hollands all-time top player apart from 3 drunk guys in a room rambling about it?

    whats all this "If DB10 had played for another team " nonsense. he played for inter milan at his peak. a glamour team in the best league in the world. without eluding to some worldwide anti-bergkamp conspiracy, explain why he not just flopped, but is considered by some inter fans to be their biggest ever flop....

    you clearly dont know what youre talking about tbh. there was nothing conventional about the bergkamp-henry partnership since bergkamp dropped so deep and henry pulled wide the real double act was pires-henry.

    if you wanna start talking about asking people stuff, ask the masses who are the best premier league players of all time. first names off the tongue will be henry, ronaldo, shearer....bergkamps name will be an afterthought, grouped in with plebs like keane, beckham, giggs and zola

    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
