Me and my buddy are always arguing about the best Arsenal 11 of all time. Can you guys come up with 4-3-3 for the best players to wear a Arsenal jersey
Okay I'm back. Forgot about this and went home and slept. Only after I checked at night then I remembered, by that time I was too sleepy.
GK Never seen pat jennings play but heard he was a real good keeper, and having switch from spurs, what more can I say.
RB-Dixon Was a close one between dixon and sagna as sagna, to me, is a more modern RB. But dixon still first choice as I love his tenacity and ol' school toughness.
CB-adams and vermaelen As you can see, I like my CBs explosive, fast, smart and tenacious. Thus, this pairing.
LB-cole Was stuck between winterburn and cole and I just can't help but choose cashley here. Because i've seen him more and I prefer his attacking-mindedness.
DM-song Between song and gilberto, I just can't help but choose song. I think song, atm is a more complete player and still hasnt fulfilled his full potential. Therefore I think song is better.
B2b/holding-vieira Hands down, sorry wilshere, you'll be there soon but now vieira takes the cake. I mean c'mon, the guy I tall, a beast in defence and can still pass and attack.
CM-fabregas Was trying to think of more legendary people but can't. I just can't. Which is weird. But yes I couldn't find and all out creative midfielder who'se better than cesc, pardone me if I missed anyone.
Rf/rw As I didn't wanna play henry as a lone striker, I put him in RF, especially 'cause my CFs can bring him in play. If ljunberg plays, he'll play deeper in a RF role.
LW-pires Pires gets it for me. Creative, fast, attacking-minded, smart, pires could even play higher up imo.
CF-bergkamp Able to link play, and include pires and henry, who can both finish into attack and even vieira and fabregas. Also able to net in his own goals. RVP to me is a similar player
I think all your teams are the best, and can fit in all the legends well. But if bergkamp is there, and assuming he plays the role he played, wouldnt it then look like a 4-4-1-1? Unless you guys meant bergkamp to be the midfielder role
Come to think of it, a big fraction of these players are from the current/recent teams. Either they are really good individually or its just some/most of us didn't watch the teams loooooong time ago.
Or I was thinking maybe we also thought of how old school players would adopt to new school systems
I don't think most of us were fans looooooong time ago ^^ I only started following football in 1998, mainly due to the world cup, but with the invincibles being our most successful team of all time its not surprising they take a lot of slots
