Best player you seen play in the Premier League?

Henry or Ronaldo as the best, but I think Bergkamp was the more.. erm, special? player.

Henry and Ronaldo were absolutely fantastic, but Bergkamp... Well he just had something magical. His goal against Newcastle is something I don't think I'll ever forget.

Ronaldo probably - although do have a fondness for Juninho

Are we basing this on a players entire career in the Premier League or simply their peak?

Ronaldo's 07/08 season was the best single season I can remember but if we're looking at more than that then Shearer or Henry would be my 2 picks.

This.

I'll chuck in Giggs and Scholes though.

Close, but I'm going to go with Scholes.

It's between Henry and Ronaldo, I'll go with Henry, Ronaldo left relatively early into his peak.

Shearer was the greatest goalscorer, but he never had the magic that Henry or Ronaldo had.

Henry, class of his own quite frankly

A toss up between Henry and Ronaldo……. Henry.

Ronaldo

Henry. He had everything.

psd99 · 16 Sep 2011 at 11:00

some of the greats,

henry, bergkamp, alan s, cantona, ronaldo, zola,

zola - the only one not mentioned so far! He was quality when he played for Chelsea back in the days. I remember when England played Italy once he was like the real dangerman lol what a time.

Some weird responses in here.

Robben? Right...........

For me, I'd have to say Cantona, I just loved him, his persona, his technique everything.

Le Tissier See below...

Henry, Scholes isnt even in the same ballpark. Ronaldo is probably a close second, but never had the kind of class Henry did.

Agreed I'm struggling to remember a season he was uniteds best player or best player in a season let alone ever in the EPL.

I'd go with Henry or Ronaldo.

reefoid · 16 Sep 2011 at 13:38

Henry for me, it was outrageous what he could do with a ball sometimes.

K1LLSW1TCH · 16 Sep 2011 at 13:56

Definitely Henry, absolute magician with the ball.
