The defenders that we had back then were classical stoppers (I rate Bould above Keown ), The only good defender that Wenger has bought in that mould is Campbel. The others including the current lot are more of sweeper backs if anything with good ability on the ball etc. This suits the present system which is more attack oriented as the old defense suited the old system which was based on a solid defense. Personally i would pick Arsene's teams over Grahams, largely due to the style of play. I might not like the possession football that much, but in full flow the team plays some crisp passing game The most balanced teams that we had was during 1999 to 2005 which had most of Grahams defensive line up for at least a few years, but Wenger did get some more than decent replacements in Sol,Cole and Lauren.

BTW was Keown used often by Graham. Thought he was loaned out for long spells. Any way i remember him only after Arsene took over
