Milan sold him at the perfect time. Sheva in his prime was monstrous!! He made me shit bricks too many times.

Sheva choked back in 2005.

 

[Trequartista]

Sheva choked back in 2005.

9 goals against Juve, 15 goals against Inter in the derby, winning penalty against us in 2003, 48 CL goals, countless goals in big games, obliterated Real Madrid (the reigning champions) in the CL quarterfinals with Dynamo Kiev, leading them to the semifinals in 99...

Shevchenko did choke against Liverpool in 05 but that was the exception to the rule, he was a monster in big games.

That is true but one has to consider the fact that Shevchenko never had a proper chance at Chelsea since Mourinho didn't want him as he prefered Drogba in the CF role and consisently benched him for that reason, and he was moving to a faster paced league at the age of 30.


He did choke but I don't think that means much, Henry wasn't great in his first season at Barca while Sheva never had a proper chance to prove himself and he was on the wrong side of the 30s. Fr3sh is right, Milan sold him at the perfect time.

I think it's perfectly legitimate to consider Henry slighlty better but I think there isn't much between them, if anything at all.

 

[RFSK]

This al started of with, Totti vs Henry right???

the Bigger question is, Baggio vs Del piero?

Yeah, but so many strikers over 30 are doing and have done great in the EPL since Sheva went there. Age wasn't the factor imo. He's a great striker but I think he definitely benefited from how good Milan was. He got plenty of chances at Chelsea, just was never able to take them.

Del Piero

Look at what he did with Dynamo Kiev in 99, leading them to CL semifinals, finishing top scorer and destroying Real Madrid. I don't think what you said is true when you consider that.

It didn't work out for him at Chelsea but I don't think that dimishes the greatness that Shevchenko was in his prime.

There primes are very similar, Henry had slightly better longevity and had the luck of being part of a fantastic French generation at the start of his career.

For me Shevchenko and Henry are of a very similar level in terms of individual accomplishment and the only thing that could separate them would be Trophies won.

 

[Klin]

henry lol even now we have a player who shits on him

And you called us deluded?

And the biggest is, Quag or Matri?

I say Forza Matri.

 

[icemaη]

Fuck Matri. Quag

[Fred]

sorry to crush your dreams freddy boy at least carlitos most important goal of his career wasnt a handball against ireland

I'm thinking/hoping you're only semi serious. You aren't really going to argue that Tevez is better than Henry, surely not. You know people who were Tevez's managers such as Alex Ferguson would laugh at the mere suggestion.

id try to list what henry won at club level but itd be like 2 trophies in international level he actually was always a disappointment, WC2002 ffs

Henry had a good WC in 98 for an upcoming player. He had a good tournament in 2000, and he was one of the best strikers in the 2006 WC. Him being not very popular in France had other reasons, his performances for the NT were secondary.

ooobviously, even fred agrees with that

The fuck I do. Henry was a fucking legend, he'd hold his own against most of the greats in the late 90's and 2000+.

Bergkamp > Henry

I love Bergkamp I really do, and perhaps talent wise and in terms of technique he was more majestic than Theirry, both played for Arsenal at their prime, you ask Arsenal fans who they think is the better player.

That's not what I'm saying, but I haven't seen more deluded fans.
Fred hates "arrogant Europeans", but loves France. It makes no sense.

You're never going to let that one go, are you?

That was in response to you guys blatant arrogance towards developing countries.

and I don't like "France" I like French football and the Frenchy NT, which is comprised for the most part of immigrants mind you

I think they're pretty equal. Both are legendary strikers. Henry was significantly better at assisting then Sheva but Sheva was so clutch, I think they were on the same level.

No arguments there. Shevchenko in his day was a fvckin machine.

 

[GrecoJuve]

Some day, you must stop deify someone, only, because he retired from football.

This, again.

 

[Fred]

This, again.

If you know me, you'd know that I deified Henry long before he retired

 

[NinjaPoggy]

Del piero>baggio
henry>sheva
gerrard>lampard>totti
quag>iaquinta>llorente>matri

 

[Fred]

Iaquinta

He used to be so good for Udinese though

 

[NinjaPoggy]

he was good for us when fit as well

 

[icemaη]

Iaquinta

He used to be so good for Udinese though

As much as people want to belittle him, he was good for us as well (as a sub) until he started getting injured all the time.

 

[Ocelot]

Yeah, saying Iaquinta was horrible for us is like saying Pepe was horrible for us the past three years. It's technically not wrong, but still kinda missing the point.
