Arsenal now v Invincibles
This is completely off any topic we have discussed/debated on here recently, as I was just reminiscing about our incredible Invincible season. I was just looking at a few of our players from our current squad and comparing them with some of our Invincibles! To be honest we have had some great players between that squad and this one:
Cech (Lehmann)
Bellerin (Lauren)
Mert (Keown by Height and Ugliness)
Koss (Campbell)
Nacho (Sylvinho; A.Cole, better than both)
Coq (Gilberto)
Ozil (Bergkamp)
Sanchez (Pires)
Giroud (Wiltord)
Gibbs (Clichy)
Gabriel (Toure)
Walcott (Ljungberg)???
Wilshere (Parlour) both didn’t feature a lot!
Chambers ??
Ox ??
Ramsey ??
We have a few like for like in my opinion… Still missing that Henry and Vieira types. I was really hoping Welbeck with his frame, pace and movement could push on, but the injury has cost him. But the plus is; now maybe he can have Henry mentor him and Theo on finishing. Welz has a great record for England too and Wenger knows what hes doing with making great strikers! Akpom is there too, he could be the one…. If not and if one player to be brought and spend a big bit of money (70-90m) on then we should have a look at Neymar… he was considering Man United was he not? He hasn’t signed a new contract yet and maybe he won’t? That would be a statement indeed from Arsenal. Maybe out of our depth though, then go get Aubameyang or Greizmann from Dortmund/Athletico respectively.
Have we ever had a player like Santi? So two-footed and great on the ball?? I still believe the Vieira type is needed in the middle (W. Carvalho?). As you can all see Coq’s Ball Skills (no pun intended) is getting better with every game… Thats what happens when playing with great players like Santi/Ozil/Alexis/Bellerin. He has always has been able to tackle! Or is it the young polish kid Beilik thats going to step up?
Out of the two squads we have quite a bit in common, though (IMO) the only differences is the Henry/Viera types missing at Arsenal at the moment and they are HUGE differences, but not a lot needed to get closer to our best ever squad… The moneys there! Then we could maybe go one further and do the one thing no Arsenal player (playing for us at the time) has done and Won the Big One…. Champions League!
Just a thought for today led to this. It doesn’t really matter to be honest, though I like reading everyones thoughts on it. There is not much else to debate about on here until the West Brom game! No matter what happens or doesn’t happen…
COYG! On the edge of greatness, with the light at the end of this 12 year long tunnel being a Premier League Title!
