I think that Henry in 2008/09 >= Villa in 2010/11. Both of them were sadly more or less irrelevant in the rest of the seasons.
Though if Villa did not get injured in 2011/12, it is an interesting what if, maybe we would have won La Liga and/or CL. He would be certainly be an upgrade compared to Tello, though he did not play stellar football until his injury.
Why is he not close to Villa ?It's a fair argument.
Either way Henry is the best player overall and in my opinion it's not close.

Prime Thierry Henry vs prime Luis Suarez would be a fun contest.
What matters is you say it isn't close. You underestimate Villa. I feel like it was easier to be Thierry Henry with Arsenal than being Villa for Valencia. Eto'o is the best one.You must be joking dude, did you miss prime Henry?? Guy was one of the best players ever in his peak, he could do everything with the ball while being fast as light.
I would also say Henry for Barca was a bit better than Villa for Barca. Both don't come close to Eto'o from Barca. So for Barca from all 3 Eto'o. Overall player Henry.
