I know Sky have to sell the Henry factor but its tilting me that they are claiming he was the best to play in the premier league.  He wasn't even the best Arsenal player in EPL over the years. 

Who gets your vote?

Best is impossible to quantify.

My favourite is Zola.

Henry wouldn't be far behind though.

Depends on criteria. Pure talent has to be Ronaldo surely?

I'd put Bergkamp ahead of Henry at Arsenal.  Perhaps even RVP on basis they haven't replaced him, when Henry went I don't think he was as big a loss.

Drogba, Cantona, Van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo, and Shearer  all get there ahead of him in terms of what they brough to their clubs imo.

Pretty much this.

Could make a case for different reasons for Shearer, Bale, Ronaldo, Weah, Schmeichel, Cantona and even, yes, Giggs.

But I'd put Zola a short head above Henry.

Highest value (realised) in Prem history.

Jürgen for me, obviously.

Henry and Bergkamp were special.

I remember seeing Giggs at Loftus Road before the QPR decline set in about 22 years ago.

He made one pass while rampaging at top speed at the home defence which instantaneously took 3 defenders out of play.

I doubt anyone in the stands even saw the possibility of the pass, let alone could have seen while running flat out.

I remember leaving the ground and thinking "bloody hell that kid is good"

For once I was right!

Not a lot wrong with claiming Henry was the best. He wouldn't be my personal choice but it's splitting hairs. Incredible player.
