I don't think Ronaldo was anything special in the prem, just a very good player. It's in Spain that he went on to superstar status.

My vote would be Bergkamp or Henry.

Henry.

Pretty shocked the OP hasnt got Cantona in his top 4, the usual pick for United.

Too hard to call as it depends on whether you take longevity into account or just outright best player at any one time.

Ronaldo going down as probably one of the best 2 players in the history of the game, and having spent a couple of years in his absolute prime in the PL wining the Ballon D’or for me says it’s him.

But Henry and Bergkamp were fackin magic for ages.

Disagree. He was in his absolute prime in Spain. In the prem he started off greedy and not passing the ball and losing it alot, he did then progress to a very good player but there are better players.

Ji Sung Park. The greatest player Asia (a continent bigger than Europe) has produced. Won countless trophies including PLs and CL. Did it consistently over several years unlike Ronaldo

5 Henry.

Good enough to get the whole world to pronounce his name right.

08 he did have a stellar year I agree, I loved watching him play then but take Henry for example he done it season after season in the prem for longer periods.

Probably have Aguero above Silva

Henry still tops it

I believe Cristiano won two ballon d'ors at United. Has to be him.

Henry's achievements in the Prem surpass Ronaldo's.

If we're taking longevity into account, it's probably Henry.

Ronaldo in 07/08 is probably the best a player has ever performed in the PL though.
