Nice Topic mank 
For a goal scoring machine and this is hard been a Toon man and watching Sir Al been there for many a year it has to be Van Nistlerooy.
Even without someone with him upfront for a lot of the season he heas done the business.
Henry all you have to do (Sounds easy) is push him wide and into the corners and he cant do much, let him cut in and bang there you go a goal opportunity.
But
With Van Horse Head he can go wide, come from wide (oo err) and go through the centre and he is very diffucult and he is a grafter too. I have heard some people say well what now that peck head has gone etc etc but listening to the man ure FANS (I.e not prawn sarnie eaters) they will not be botherd. They have fag boy Ole who did wonders against the Toon (ALTHOUGH HE USED AN ELBOW AT OLD TRAMPFORD ON HUGHES)
Also at the end of last season you watch people like Henry when the going gets tough! Also the same with Pires.....whilst Im saying that he's just banged the fifth in against NZ
For me
Horse Head wins.

I'd go Ruud Van everytime, he's a more balanced all round player whose been knocking goals in ever since he turned professional and won't be stopping anytime soon. Henry's a very good player, but I think overall Ruud Van has more to his game then Henry.
Ruud Van also came back from a pretty bad injury and carried on knocking them in like there's no tomorrow.

Disagree - I think that Henry has a lot more to his game than VanDIVElroy.
Van's a natural finisher but he's very direct (which isn't a bad thing) - but Henry's all-round play is much better, his first-touch is probably equivalent but IMHO his running, dribbling and ability to pass other players is MUCH better.
And that's not just because I hate the dirty mancs

Ruud Van's pretty pacey, and he's not exactly a donkey on the ball. He does however have more to his game when it comes to finishing, can Henry head the ball? Bollocks can he. Ruud Van can take goals from anywhere, including running it from the halfway line and scoring

think you've stated your opinion there Mank
I'm a Red* and I'd take Van over Henry but I'd play them together any day.
On last years form Van Nistelroy is top but they are so closely matched in finesse and style it could easily be different this year, I just don't hope so.
*Over being a Blue, from Manchester you see.

It has to be van nistelrooy by a mile, he is very strong, physical, can head the ball and go past players - sorta reminds of alan shearer and is the sorta player england needs.
Henry is a donkey, he may be fast but other than that he nothing much else. He is absolutely abysmal at controlling the ball and heading it. Can't stay on his feet either, french poofta

Ruud everytime.
He is classed as the modern day 'complete forward' (even if it is 'Big Ron' saying it). He can score the spectacular (vs Fulham @ Old Trafford) the simple tap ins (numerous last season) and he can even head the ball as well.
Henry has pace, guile and he is a tricky fecker too but he cannot do the simple things (remember the number of chances he had vs Liverpool in the FA Cup Final in 2001?? and most of those were tap ins)
Even though it pains me to say it (as a Reds (of Liverpool) fan) Ruud would be my choice.

They're both quality in different ways, and if you had to pick two strikers out of the premiership, you'd go with those two. I'd go with Henry though.

In addition, I think personally Ruud Van is more aware as a striker and hence is likely to pounce on opportunities much more often, because he's always been a striker whereas Henry's been moved from the left wing to play as a striker where he's been successful, but perhaps in a few years he'll develop the same kind of 'sixth sense' Ruud has.

Wrong way round. Henry started as an out-and-out Centre Forward at Monaco, Wenger's moved him to the Left Wing position and he's flourished there.

Henry's a left winger? Are you certified insane?

He plays to the left of forward and covers the wing. He also plays right out on the left for France. At Monaco he was right in the middle.

Right. As far as I'm concerned he's a forward who has a tendency to drift in from out wide because he used to play as a winger.
