iamoyindamola: No, you lied that he regained his scoring form in England. He never scored the 13 goals he scored in Madrid when he returned to England, averaging 4-5 goals for the rest of his career in England. 1 Like |

DeadPresidents: Lol. It has to be free so that this Henry narrative won’t grow wings. I am a fan of Henry, but anybody who watched him in the mid 90s and saw how inconsistent and sometimes poor his finishing was at that stage in his career won’t be making this claim. |

iamoyindamola:Henry would have definitely shattered the record if he had started his career and remained in England until his late thirties even Aguero as well. Henry came to England at 22. Just look at their goals and compare you will see they have similar trajectory. Henry's Arsenal PL career 1999/00- 2006/07, Age 22-29, 254 appearances. 174 goals, Shearer 1992/93- 1999/00, Age 22-29, 253 appearances, 176 goals, Aguero 2011/12-2018/19, Age 23-30, 239 appearances 164 goals. 3 Likes |

Swissh:That's why those English fraud stay at home they hardly go abroad,you see why EPL clubs go for foreign players instead of these over priced ones. |

iamoyindamola: Sod 09, use brain joor. Henry became a beast but he wasn't always that good. His Juventus move was not exactly a roaring success. |

iamoyindamola: Henry was not a roaring success at Juventus. Carlo Ancelloti who was the manager for Juventus then didn't even see Henry as a striker able to play through the middle and he was quietly discharged to Arsenal the following summer. bleacherreport dot com/articles/2285649-thierry-henry-how-did-juventus-get-it-so-wrong |

DeadPresidents:nah This is way out of context |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by DeadPresidents: 4:03pm On Apr 09, 2020 |
iamoyindamola: Juventus bought Henry in the winter transfer window of 99 and offloaded him in the summer transfer window of 99. All this movement happened all within a year. That looks like a very successful transfer. |

Swissh:If I remember correctly Rooney had 160+ league goals at 26yrs old. What a wasted potential . |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 4:54pm On Apr 09, 2020 |
If these strikers played all their career in England, Shearer's 260 goals record wud hv bn broken by now - Thiery Henry -Sergio Aguero -Ruud Van Nistelrooy - Cantona -Ronaldo ---Rooney was unlucky, he was played out of position, so many times. ---I see Harry Kane breaking it......( so far he can overcome constant injury and also stay in EPL) 2 Likes 1 Share |

Expert17: If you add all the league goals Ruud scored in his life including Dutch 1st and 2nd division he scored 249 goals, but if he had played only in the English Top Division he would have scored more than 260? Not Logical If you add all Cantona's league goals in his life including French 1st and 2nd division he scored 131 goals but somehow he would have magically scored 260 goals if he played only in the English top division? Not logical. Ronaldo. Definitely. He became a goal machine of unreal proportions. Football god. Aguero. Likely. He has been prolific practically all through his career, right from teenage years. Presently has 254 goals in European League football, and not done yet. 3 Likes 1 Share |

afrodoc2: CLUB statistics Ruud Van Nistelroooy scored 349 goals in 592 appearance in all competitions .......Alan shearer scored 379 goals in 734 appearances in all competitions Country statistics Van nistelrooy scored 35 goals in 70 appearance..............Shearer scored 30 goals in 63 appearance. I strongly believe Van nistelrooy would hv broken the record. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 6:33pm On Apr 09, 2020 |
Expert17: It is a league record. Use their league statistics. How would Ruud have scored more than 260 goals in the EPL when he didn't score up to that when you add his goals from the weaker Dutch top league and the useless Dutch 2nd division? Not logical. This is not a referendum over who was the better striker. It is about who could have scored 260 EPL goals in his time if he had played only in the EPL. |

afrodoc2: If Rooney can score 200+ league goals in EPL, Van nistelrooy wud score more than 260 goals.......... Van nistelrooy scoring doesnt depend on the League(weak or strong), it depends on the caliber of players in the team to supply him.....he got 56 goals in 73 appearance in UCL to prove this (6th on all time UCL highest goal scorer) 1 Like 1 Share |

So, you think all those guys would've started scoring at the same rate you saw them maintain in their peak years? When it comes to Ronaldo, you guys claim he went to Spain and had it easy compared to England and here, some of you are implying Shearer had it easy in England. You think Aguero was the top striker he is now when he was way younger? Same goes for Henry, Nistelrooy and the likes. For those Rooney and Henry excuses, it's nobody's fault if they couldn't hold their place as the CF. 5 Likes |

Godx:Whilst Ronaldo and Messi pushed themselves to the very limit to develop their game, Rooney didn't really put in that extra effort. Rooney was feared by every defender when he burst through the ranks at Everton and newly joined Manchester United. |

patrickmuf: Rooney’s goal-scoring prowess went with his anger. The moment he started acting matured he stopped scoring goals. Wished he achieved more but he’s still a legend. 4 Likes |

Godx:Back in 2003/2004 Rooney was even considered the more talented between him and Ronaldo. If you were to pick the one who would go on to win numerous balon dors and dominate world football it will be Rooney. He was miles ahead of Ron. He didn't reach his full potential. |

Leyqute:I swear you are spot on. I didn't want to write it here as most folks would've probably misunderstood what I mean. I blame Sir Alex for changing him, that Rooney that was easily provoked had the ego of the very best players... |
