How many trophies Henry get?
Eto'o even won back to back trebles

ThierryJay:


Henry was better than Eto'o hands down. Even that same Fenomeno did not win UCL or score in its final yet he is better than Eto.

Henry was nominated for World player & Ballon dor final 3 times and came second twice and third once. Eto was only nominated once and he came third.

Henry won:
-World cup
-Euro 2000,
-Fifa confederations Cup (where he scored against Eto's Cameroon in final and won player of tournament)
-UCL - Eto may have scored in that final but Henry was instrumental in that UCL campaign as well with 4 knockout goals.
-Henry dragged an average Arsenal side to UCL final with several scintillating displays.
-Henry's 2006 world cup campaign to the final is also notable for great performances against Brazil and Portugal.

On a personal attribute level, Henry was faster, more skillful, could the ball better, could score free kicks regularly, assisted more than Eto. Both have similar goal sense.

And Suarez, Lewandowski & Shevchenko are better than Eto'o. Rooney and Aguero are on his same level.

Note that Henry's prime was 2000 - 2006 while Eto's prime was 2004 - 2010. By the time Henry was playing with Eto in Barca he was already winding down his career. At Henry's prime he was generally considered arguably to be the worlds best striker vs Fenomeno.

How is he better than Eto when Eto scored more goals and won more important individual honours. Eto has more country goal and even club, so what are you saying. Eto won african footballer twice while henry won no european best. Eto was a better striker

Ximenez:

How many trophies Henry get?
Eto'o even won back to back trebles

tell me na? I'm sure most of you might be young to really know or watch Henry,how there you compare Henry and ETo in of trophies give me the total career trophies won by Eto and compare with those won by Henry,you will laugh at yourself.

OJEEMAH:
You no sabi ball aswear.

Eto didn’t send Henry to the flank. Rijkaad did to avoid causing problem. Meanwhile, Henry was already past his prime and he could operate from the wing unlike Eto.

If Eto ed Henry at Arsenal, he would have been benched or Wenger will tweak the formation to accommodate him by playing Henry from the wing.

Henry was actually not a centre forward in the traditional sense. At Arsenal, he preferred to play from the left side, though not as a traditional left winger.

So, in Barcelona, he was played more as a left winger which was not his preference.

It’s common sense and that’s what Rijkaad did

BCD2much:


How do you win those with Ronaldinho in his prime in your team, Eto'o has number of trophies Henry can only dream about, eufa recognitions, came close to wining Balon d'or twice, won major trophies at different clubs,

Hahahahahah…..see excuse abeg

Suarez competed and won European Golden Boot against Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo

Your excuse no make sense cos Dinho is not even like Ronaldo and Messi that likes to score in every game.

Go and tell those that didn’t watch Dinho.

Was Balon D’or the main award before 2010?

Oga, Henry finished 2nd twice in FIFA World Best. Eto was nominated once and he finished third.

Henry won European Golden Boots twice. Eto never touched that award.

Henry finished as EPL Top Scorer 4 times? How many Pinchichi for Eto?

engrchykae:
Etoo is a merciless killer.
To send kluivert away from Barca and to send Thierry Henry to the flanks is no mean feat

I agree
He was in top 3 ballon d’or list one time too

dadabashua1:
tell me na? I'm sure most if you might be young to really know or watch Henry,how there you compare Henry and ETo in of trophies give me the total career trophies won by Eto and compare with those won by Henry,you will laugh at yourself.

Lol
Even in arsenal when Henry was at his best, he won 5 trophies
Two epl and 3 fa cups

Ximenez:

Lol
Even in arsenal when Henry was at his best, he won 5 trophies
Two epl and 3 fa cups

reasons why I asked you to list the total number of trophies won by both players na

dadabashua1:
reasons why I asked you to list the total number of trophies won by both players na

And you can't list them?

Ximenez:

Lol
Even in arsenal when Henry was at his best, he won 5 trophies
Two epl and 3 fa cups

abi you don't have both players career trophies? Yet you said Eto has won more? List the total career trophies of both players

Ximenez:

And you can't list them?

you seems to know more than me,for you to boldly say Eto has more trophies,most of you thinks football started when you started watching football? from this you and pick up trophies won,and I can tell you not all were even captured here.

dadabashua1:

Must you watch a match before you have access to data?
Were Jim beglin and jon champion around then to watch Ferenc Puskas and Eusebio play back then?
Don't they give commentary and analysis about them now?

Eto'o was just briefly at inter yet he won 5 trophies there, that's equal to what Henry has at Arsenal.

e sure me die when some of us were watching Henry at his early stages in football them never born you,even they have you might be very young,don't get me wrong,I just notice most younger folks only talk about what they know and met, if not for Google some would have even argue that Arsenal has NEVER WON epl in their history,trust me on that,I'm sure about it.

Nawa for you.
I'm even trying to flow with your narrative that you are old, yet you still don't get the point.
Like i said before, you don't necessarily have to witness something to have access to data.
Arsenal was where Henry spent majority of his peak years, yet he won 5 trophies. Many people won't even know this unless they do a research cos of all the hype about him. Just like it can be shocking that Wenger only won 3 EPL titles in more than two decades at arsenal.

OJEEMAH:
You don’t get. The was just to tackle what the guy said.

Since he was trying to use UCL, I had to remind him that Henry won World Cup and Euros.

Like he shouldn’t use team achievements to compare them but if he wants to go that route, let me also drop Henry’s achievements with his team.

Oh okay

Haba just take a look at what you ed.
WTF is "world cup participant" "Euro participant" Do they count as trophies too?

I understand what you are saying o,don't get it wrong,I'm just saying most folks talks about a player or what they think he is base on what they see online or watch on you tube,not base on the fact that they have seen him play,you will have to agree with me,80% of soccer fans today mostly knows about Messi and Ronaldo, even the likes of Ronaldo de Lima,Raul,Zidane, Figo,Baggio etc,they know little or nothing about them,let's say anything from 1990-1998 most don't know much of players that were making headway then.

Ximenez:

I didn't tell you that's trophies, I said look from this list you will have an idea of trophies he has won.

ThierryJay:


That's the only area where Eto has made more impact than Henry but that's just only a couple of games and cannot be used solely to assess how good a player has been over hundreds of games.

To use your logic, Drogba has scored in way more finals than Eto'o, yet Eto'o is clearly rated above him. If only records in finals were used, then Drogba would be even a better player than Cristiano.

I agree with you regards Drogba's record in finals but pls don't disrespect ronaldo. He's the only player to have scored in 3 finals in the CL, the fa Cup final, copa del rey finals, fifa club World Cup finals, super Cup finals, etc etc. So yes Drogba was magnificent in finals but his record still pales to cristiano's by quite a lot I'd say

Benchilwell:
eto better than Henry,u smoke cow milk, u are using champion league for example,that mean Modric 5 times champion league winner is better then zidane who won only one champion league trophy like Henry.

That guy was capping.... Even the R9 he was comparing Eto with didn't win UCL

Scarletjr:
Na him own opinions buh anelka na overall player who igwe is a goal getter

You are capping... How many free kicks, assist, solo goals does Anelka have .. talk more of Eto self... Forget the tapping goals

OJEEMAH:
You wan go that route?

Henry na Euros and World Cup winner
2 times UCL winner too

How is Eto better?

Any European Golden Boot?
How many La liga top scorer?
How many nomination for FIFA Best him get?

Champions league na team achievement not individual……anybody fit win UCL

Pedro don win WC, Euros, UCL, La liga, EPL and other trophies…. Does that mean he’s better than Ibrahimovic?

In of trophies, Henry is better sef…. So Wetin u dey yan?

ok wait let’s go that route

Eto has 2 African Nations Cup trophy
Eto has One Olympic gold medal
Took Mallorca from Relegation zone to Euro
Eto has3 Champions League Win
Eto has Pichichi wins
Eto won a Treble twice at Barcelona
Eto won a Treble once at Inter milan
Treble = Champions League, League FA Cup
EVEN Henry once said
Eto won Champions league with 2 clubs
Henry could not make Arsenal win one
He had to come to Barca at their peak to win it

Even Thierry Henry once said, “If Eto’s name was Etodinho, that is if Eto was Brazilian- he would have won the Ballon D’Or” ….. because Eto was playing quality football that was out of this world at his peak!

Although Eto didn’t win the world cup does not mean, individually he was not an excellent player and among the world immortals of the beautiful game - Or because Messi didn’t win the world cup you want to conclude Fernando Torres who won the world cup with spain is a better player than Messi ? The comparison doesn’t work that way …

If Thierry Henry had played International football for Guadeloupe where his parents are from originally, will he single handedly be able win the world cup for Guadeloupe ? so let’s stop rating Eto less because of Cameroun’s inability to win the world cup like ….

When Henry won the the world cup in 1998, was he an outstanding player who scored important goals to win that tournament ? nope

it was the likes of Zinedine Zidane (Zizou) Stefan Guivarch, Lilian Thuram, Christian Karenbeau and others including Henry that shared the goals on their way to win the world cup

please respect your own African brother Eto

Even Didier Drogba was better than Thiery

If he played in National Teeam, Drogba at his peak will bench Henry at his peak

If Eto played for at his peak he will bench Henry at his peak

Anelka was a better player - na stubbornness na him destroy him career - any black man signed by Real Madrid as a striker is not an ordinary person and when you are given regular play time as a black man playing that forward role at Madrid, you are a very very special player - and that was Nicolas Anelka

know this and know peace!

When Henry won the the world cup in 1998, was he a key player who scored important goals to win that tournament ? nope

it was the likes of Zinedine Zidane (Zizou) Stefan Guivarch, Lilian Thurman, Christian Karenbeau and others that shared the goals so

please respect your won African brother

know this and know peace!

when Henry won the world Cup,pls remind who was highest goal scorer in the tournament? So a player that scored the highest goals for the country is not key right? This is what I was saying most people are using Internet to judgement while some of us watched this guys playing days live and direct, I'm sure you just learnt today that Henry was highest goal scorer are the tournament,behind folks like bastistuta and Davor suker of Croatia

Pinterest:


No dey use team achievements rate players. That’s why some people still think Ronaldo is a better player than Messi.

So dribbling is the only quality of a footballer?

Jokerman:

So dribbling is the only quality of a footballer?

Messi does more than dribbling btw

For him mind, abi

OJEEMAH:
Cameroon mind

I can’t imagine how big Eto think of himself for him to even say, Henry is not on his level.

One day e fit even say Aubameyang better Henry

Mrfixitt:

yes is like he never liked the guy due to the praise and hype Henry has gotten in world football,which in all honesty he deserved,so I call it a well deserved hype.
