Michael  owen while being a very good player isnt world class. Thiery Henry is a world class striker, michael owen isnt at his level so therefore cant be put in the same bracket of ability.

Michael Owen at his best was a world class player and was easily at Henry's level. However he's now only 80% of the player he was.

He's still what i would call a world class goalscorer though.

I doubt you can compare their all round ability, they are quite frankly two different players. First of all Owen has the ability to make something out of nothing, as does Henry. They both have that killer instinct in front of goal and they both have pace and acceleration behind em.

That's as far as it goes in terms of being on the same level. Owen seems more of a big time final player, as well as having this ability of being fairly or very quiet for large proportions of the game and then coming up with goals, Henry doesn't.

Henry is a hard working striker, who works hard none stop all match and likes to be involved in everything Arsenal do. He is also able to score well into twenty League goals a season, Owen is not.

Owen's a great player, there's no doubt about that, but Henry is just that level or two higher.

Firstly, we are both clearly on about Owen at his best. Owen at his best set goals up aswell as scored them and single handedly ripped teams to shreds. He didn't win european player of the year for nothing.

Secondly, don't sit there and say you can't compare players because they are different. Thats quite simply . Its like saying you can't compare Heskey and Henry because they are different. You can and i did. Get over it.

Finally, you talk shite.

If i was to say Gerrard's better than Ade Akinbiyi that wouldn't be valid because they play in different positions?

I'm sorry. But that doesn't wash.

of course it don't stu, they're black players and no way do they compare to the superior white ones, do they?

Depends what you are comparing them on doesn't it? If you compare Bent to Rooney on goals to games ratio then Bent will win hands down, you compare techincal abilities then you can say Rooney edges it.

And I thought you knew how to talk football?

If you were given a choice of who you'd want in your side, rooney or bent, you'd pick rooney because he's better.

Its a comparison that can be made.

Thank you.

Rooney's also physically stronger, mentally tougher and tactically cleverer.
