Freddie was light years better and more effective.

Rosicky had potential, but I dont understand the jizz fest going on about him. If I tried, I'd probably be able to pick 4-5 performances from him that stood out. Ljunberg was a match winner AND most importantly consistent. Unfortunately Rosicky's injuries made him inconsistent in making an impact for us. Sad the way it turned out for him and Diaby. Both shouldve been shown the door much earlier than when they did.

Certainly wouldn't call him an average player but granted when talking about Rosicky it has to be a little bit speculative because he was never fit enough to be able to perform with any consistency.

Nothing wrong with being appreciative of his natural ability though. Dortmund still hold him in high regard as well.

Still waiting for the only announcement that counts though.

Football without the sentimentality and the alike is just a load of people drinking luke warm beer watching a load of anorexic rugby players isn't it....

Let's not pretend as if there isn't a single player in Arsenal history you'd have had way past their sell by date Dumbledore. :d

Well said. And that's what we're losing from the game. Because it really is just us, the fans, with our noses pressed against the glass now.

Meh fuck all of yous :haha:

Rosicky was definitely in my top ten of favourite Arsenal players of the last twenty years

Ljungberg had one good season and to be Frank it wasn’t even that it was the second half of a season

Rosicky was head and shoulders better than the super-star shit we have today. Then again, so was Hleb. And certainly Freddie. It's not a rose coloured view either. Players today have forgotten how to play. I wonder about the long term effects. Our squad has been so Wengerised, even if we got a decent manager in, can this squad be rescued or has sexy/ hyped/ "expert" bore ball become second nature to them?

Why is (was) Alexis adored? Because he puts in the effort that was expected by default just a few years ago. We used to laugh at proper players back then because the standard was way higher. Lampard. He'd be worth a quarter of a billion quid now.

Deli Alli :haha:

The hype is beyond belief.

Dennis Bergkamp has left Ajax.

We should offer him a job.

He's not a stupid bloke.

Would love him to be involved with the club again. But I'd hate to see him dragged down to Wenger's level. Bring him back after the old goat has gone.
