    That is why your opinion on this matter is irrelevant.

    Jordan was clearly the best and above everyone else. The same cannot be conclusively stated about Henry.

    Why is henry better than ruud....oh its because he scored more goals than him, and lead the EPL in ASSISTS, and he was injured a lot more than usual!

    Nice one newbee. I could easily turn this around and point out all of the failings of Henry, but I'll let you off the hook considering it's your third post. Go on then, where is your top 10?

    Actually, I'd kind of like to hear that.

    Having read your posts for a while, I'll acknowledge that you know a lot more about soccer than I do, so perhaps your points about TH14's failings are valid.

    But EPL players also know more about soccer than I do, and they voted TH14 POY twice. The voters for FIFA world POY also know more than I do, and they gave TH14 more votes than any other striker the past 2 years.

    It's not unreasonable to consider TH14 the best striker in the world -- apparently FIFA does, as do the EPL players.

    But hey, you probably know more than they do. After all, you're the guy who said Gary Speed was better than Vieira, right?

    Before anyone reads through that thread to find my posts, it was both started and finished before I had joined BS.

    So is the anti-TH14 argument basically "he's a choker"? Or is there more to it than that?

    I can understand the choker label based on WC2002 and Euro 2004, and I'm certainly not foolish enough to make "TH14 = Michael Jordan" comparisons.

    But it's absurd to claim Ruud "6 goals in 2004-5" van Nistelrooy is a better striker right now than TH14 because TH14 is a choker. If you want to see a choker, watch what happened every time RvN touched the ball in the 2005 FA Cup final. He sure didn't look like the second best striker in the world to me.
