damn good idea

[@philthatcher6111]

I have to agree 100%. 24 to 26 year old Henry was better than Ronaldo's last year in the prem for me. Them two/three years Henry played at Highbury was ridiculous and it was every week that he was embarrassing teams.

[@siberianTiger639]

Only Ronaldo's last year?? Henry during his prime (2002-2006) was comfortably better than Ronaldo in 2008 when he scored 31 goal in the league. Ronaldo had the goals but Henry's overall impact on the pitch was far bigger. Eveb though most take Ronaldo as a winger and Henry as a 9/striker, Henry never played like a real striker at Arsenal. He was constantly dropping deep, starting attacks, involved in the build up... His creative influence was far bigger and he also had a higher number of assists in the end. Even though Ronaldo was nominally a winger, both of United's strikers at the time, Rooney and Tevez worked much more defensively, while Ronaldo was staying furthest forward while United defended so he could score on the break.

[@pauliyonas3576]

Ronaldo won 3 premier league and won the ballon d'or become second in ballon d'or 2 times plus being 2x times PL player of the season on top of that he preformed in UCL to and won UCL with united unlike Henry.
