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

[Grebbo]

They're both great.

Henry was far more effective than Bergkamp but Bergkamp had that little bit of genius that all football fans love.

Henry was amazing for 5 yrs and certainly deserves a statue more than Bergkamp if only one of them can have one.

[LDG]

We shouldn't be debating who was better.

Both brilliant players. Both true Gooners.

Always a place for them in my heart.

Bergkamp - joined us when we were languishing in mid table and turned the whole club around and when he left, he left us as a CL finalist, something we have never done before or since

Henry - Joined us when we were title challengers, choked in finals and left us clinging on to top 4 spot before becoming Barca scum and losing the respect of all true Arsenal fans.

Says it all I'm afraid

I wasnt actually serious although technically what i said is actually true apart from maybe the losing respect bit.

Im glad we had both and at the same time. Best 2 strikers we've ever had and thats saying something cos i loved Wrighty throughout the 90s and also Kaba Diawara for scoring the goals for me in CM 97/98

If i had to choose one, id choose Bergkamp but Henry was class as well

I hope these stautes don't turn out like those Spanish Wax works ones.

at least henry waited till he got to the bloody final before choking.

bergkamps penalty miss against united in the 99 cup semi - single biggest choke moment in arsenal history.

pressure was just too much for the guy tbh. he cost us the double.

Both were Arsenal legends and always will be, both scored important goals for us and both chocked at times but who has not in their career.

This thread is ridiculously shit. Both were awesome players. The. End.

Define 'fails'

Here you go.

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 +
