So its official: Henry was a much better player for Arsenal than Bergkamp

[BOBN]

Arsenal will mark their 125th anniversary this weekend by unveiling statues of Thierry Henry, Tony Adams, and Herbert Chapman outside the Emirates Stadium.

The trio of club icons have been selected as deserving of special commemoration and will be unveiled on Friday, the day before Arsenal play Everton, when the club plan to celebrate their 125th birthday.

Henry, who is due in London this weekend to take part in the celebrations, is the club’s record goalscorer. The French striker scored 226 times in 370 matches for the club and despite leaving for Barcelona and then the New York Red Bulls, has always spoken of Arsenal as being his first love.

Adams gave 19 years playing service to Arsenal, from 1983 to 2002. He has often spoken of his desire to return to the club in a coaching or managerial role.

Chapman, hailed as a managerial visionary, steered the club to their first major honours, two league titles and an FA Cup, before his sudden death from pneumonia in 1934.

can we stop this tedious debate now please? bergkamp was a nice player but you saw what happened in the 05 cup final when he was relied on for goals. A whole bunch of nothing.

Don't think anyone intelligent could disagree with that.

Perry Groves. That is what they should have done.

In fact, I think a petition should be started. I would Lol so hard if they did that. Gooners would love it.

The decision makers at Arsenal are always right. About everything.

Unlike Henry of course who was full of goals in Cup Finals.

Bergkamp was untouchable for about 18 months (late 97-mid 99) after that he was a teddy sheringham type player. Still classy but pretty harmless in the grand scheme of things.

Henry was untouchable for 5 years +

Theres goals and then theres being the worst player on the pitch. It was sad to see bergkamp being a complete liabilty that day. Not befitting of his talent.

The "second striker" bollocks is not an excuse. RVP could be hiding behind that excuse right now but nope, he just went and scored 40 goals in the calendar year instead.

Henry.

What a man.
