Henry had the likes of Llungberg, Pires and Bergkamp setting him up. RVP has Theo Walcott, Gervinho, and Song. RVP makes the difference when we play Arsenal, Henry not so much.
Wow watched the Balon D'or? Messi is no where near the best, and would not cut it in the prem. Put him in a team like B'burn and he's be lucky to get on the pitch whereas RVP would still bag double figures
