There is nobody carrying on the Gunner tradition at the club, thats why I think it is important for the club to get guys like Bergkamp, Henry or whoever from that era, to come back in some capacity and bring back the passion of football to the club.
Is there anyone carrying on the traditions at any club? What are the traditions and do they have a dollar value,, because that's the real question in modern football. Yes of course we'll all take what advantage we can but most impose their own limits. You have to live on the street with your neighbours, you might not give a fuck about them in most respects but you don't set fire to their house so you get a better view from your window. There are more and more creatures in the game now that don't have these limits. Dein starts to look good by comparison but I wonder what anyone could do in the modern game to restore some equality. For me the fans will have to wait until the swarm has consumed everything and football loses its financial appeal. Then the swarm moves on and football picks up the pieces. Luckily all you need is a ball to play. Could Bergkamp do anything? What would he do when you have Kroenke and his goons sitting there with their five year plan and exit strategy?
