I'd go Henry, he has more pace, more awareness and a clamer attitude which i think helps !!!

Hes got better hair as well, but I'm not sure if that counts :p

Overall it's gotta be Henry. He's just everywhere on the field. Van Nistelrooy may be a better finisher, doesn't cover as much ground or have the all-round ability of Henry.

Henry is a much better all round player. The horse faced man is a fine striker but thats about it.

I'm not sure the Queen would be too pleased with that. Garden parties? Yes. All star SOCCER matches? No thanks.

On a side note Alan Shearer is obviously better than them both as he has more premiership goals than any other player this season.

Van Nistlerooy is the better STRIKER in my opinion, as hes a more complete player.

Leon Knight scores more goals with his head than Henry....

Although the phrase " The Beautiful game " never seems more appropriate than when watching Henry.

Agree with Trigger also.

Shearer pre injury was probably better than both.

Sums him up really.

Thierry Henry. No question.

I agree that TH and Van the man would be a potent strike force.

No question that Thierry Henry is the more complete player, but that is because he is older. Last year, he came close to winning the various "best player in the universe" type gongs that get dished out annually so the experts seem to agree with the NSC concensus.

But I'm pleased they're both playing in England, and they are both happy here. In an era when so many people whinge about living in this country, it makes a refreshing change to hear about highly paid foreigners actually singing the praises of this country...

In my opinion, Henry is the best player in England, and has been for the last two years. His amazing work rate and ability to set up goals (not just score goals like RVN) is so good it is almost like having twelve players on the pitch.

Arsenal will be in deep trouble if he suffers a long term injury.
