Samuel E'too's a good striker, but he's a ing mercenary. One minute he's spitting venom at Chelsea, the next he claims he doesn't hate JM or Chelsea. He said he's happy at Barca, but now wants even more money to score goals...what a ing wank !
I'm so glad that Forlan ( A Manure reject ) scored more goals then him in La Liga...Said the wank, Etoo that he'd score more then Henry and win the golden boot - HA ! :p
Still, have to give credit where it's due...he's a leathal finisher and with his pace he'd be great at almost any club. Having said that, I'm not sure there is much to choose from with Chelsea and Barca. They both have very strong squads, with Chelsea probably having the better defence. Still...I doubt he will leave Barca for anything less then a package deal with Aresnals Henry, and i somehow don't see that happening this summer. |

i wouldnt trade eto'o for henry ... for one henry is 28 and eto'o i beleive is 23 ... second henry is a great striker no doubt but has failed to deliver in the big games for both club and country .. his goal scoring records for france , in europe and against the big clubs in england is nothing short of dismal ....

Kluivert from Newcastle to Valencia (free)
second Valencia's signing after Edu from Arsenal |

Edu is a good pick up, but not exceptional.
Kluivert is not going to solve Valencia's woes. |

Heard from a show today that PSV's Park Ji Sung might go to Man U to replace Giggs.
Out to lunch comment? |

Sure but untill this season neither had Barca. The only reason E'too scores as many goals as he does is because he has the brillant Ronaldinho operating behind him, pulling markers away from him while Barca have a great passing / play making midfield in Xavi and Deco to thread the ball into his path. E'too's a clinical finisher, but he doesn't have the overall game that Henry does.
Still, i agree that Henry doesn't seem to deliver in the biggest games (barring FA cup finals and EPL games). Then again, in the french national team there isn't any real dominant striker either. As far as CL is concerned, Arsenal definately need to get the monkey off their back because it seems they are overwhelmed by the stage and always seem to limp out in the qualifying rounds.

I enjoy positive attacking football. That's what Man U used to play once upon a time. Now SAF's gone and turned them into a boring 4-5-1 team and that's not United i want to see.
Never been a united boy...just supported them when they played good football. Something that i haven't seem them do with any degree of consistency this year. Let's hope the Glazer era doesn't result in the demise of a once dominant football club.

Not to replace him. Just to light a fire under his ass. Giggs has been offered a new 2 year extension and while SAF's reign continues there's no way that Giggs will be permenantly benched. This is probably good for United. Giggs has always been talented, but over the years it seems his inconsistency and injury problems have hurt the team. Last season he started strong but pettered out towards the end. Park will provide the competition that will hopefully bring out the best in Ryan Giggs for the last few years of his Manchester united career. |

dismal?
Hes the fourth(or fifth) highest goalscorer in champions league history. This season hes scored twice against chelsea(played them once) and got 2 assists against united. Got a hat-trick against liverpool last season aswell.
I would pay attention to his goalscoring for france, all of the french team are e. |

LOL. That's an unqualified statement. The French team are in the process of transition, but i'd hardly label them e. You do have a point though. Henry shouldn't be judged solely on the basis of his intl career with France. In that regard even Ruud hasn't been able to transform his success with Man U to the world stage despite playing for the multi talented side that Holland boasts. International football is vastly different to club football in the tactics and approach used. With france it seems Henry is used more as a ploy to pull markers away allowing the midfield and wingers to create goal scoring chances.
Makes sense when you consider the strength and creativity of the french midfield (something that's unfortunately been lost in the last year and a half).
Bottomline, Henry is probably the most complete forward in world football and it's only a matter of time before he attains success in the CL, the one major award he has yet to win. ;)
The man has basically won and done everything else. |

I'd say Shevchenko is the most complete forward in the world. He has everything Henry has plus more. He is excellent in the air and a lot more consistent, for starters. Henry scores for fun against mickey-mouse teams but the top defenders know his game. Shevchenko simply has more in his locker than Henry, he's a more complete striker. He's a bit like Henry and Van Nistelrooy combined! |

I agree, i think he is the most complete forward. On the Shevchenko choice, i think he is the most complete striker. From what i have seen he isnt as creative as henry. Henry can not only core goals, but is excellent at creating them. |
