Don't remember the 70s stuff, alt...@afcbybirth<br /><br />Don't remember the 70s stuff, although I do remember my friends Dad talking about a time when the Arsenal fans boycotted a game because of player sales and only 3,000 turned up.<br /><br />Anelka was special for Arsenal and it was a shame to see him leave. Would be interesting to put the 98 double side up against the 2004 side. I know some of the players would be the same but still interesting. <br /><br />I think Wenger is too quick to let some of our better players leave, particularly recently.Joppa Roadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03724137542198967498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-71820868347620435252011-12-08T08:08:57.380+00:002011-12-08T08:08:57.380+00:00We played a 4-4-1-1 system those days.

If Anelka stayed Henry would have stayed on the wing, the legend may never have been bornIrfannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-22411054335912328732011-12-08T05:36:28.706+00:002011-12-08T05:36:28.706+00:00I remember Wenger Always said his plan was to have...I remember Wenger Always said his plan was to have Bergkamp behind Henry and Anelka. Anelka should easily have been the best striker of his generation (behind Ronaldo).<br />He had everything and he always delivered in the BIG Games for us, unlike others. I remember the way he used to brush past Jaap Stam as if he wasn't there.<br />we should sign him as backup as it is Clear Chamakh, Park, Bendtner, Gervinho, etc. aren't as clinical in front of goal.<br />Wenger may want Neymar but without David Dein to hold his hand it will be hard to part with the £40million.<br />What if RVP gets injured again<br />WE NEED GOALS!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-82384530107936953812011-12-08T00:25:39.971+00:002011-12-08T00:25:39.971+00:00Really a pointless post because the funds that we ...Really a pointless post because the funds that we got from selling anelka allowed us to build the training complex and buy henry. Without selling anelka there was no way we could afford to spend 11 million on a winger that was out of favor in italy. <br />I would rather have had henry than have kept anelka. <br />You don't know how certain players will affect a team so there is no way of telling whether we would've been more successfull with both henry and anelka (where would bergkamp have played and if it was behind both henry and anelka which midfielder would you remove?).<br />Anelka left, henry came and we soon became one of the finest club sides in history...remember that we should have won 3 titles straight but we imploded in 2003.npnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-77802257142343424492011-12-07T23:04:41.679+00:002011-12-07T23:04:41.679+00:00ohh really what a load of bull................anel...ohh really what a load of bull................anelka has only ever been interested in one thing...money...the greed of the man is horrific, the sooner he fucks of to frog land the bettter for everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-1035474225799302412011-12-07T22:39:47.928+00:002011-12-07T22:39:47.928+00:00@ joppa road
i have to draw swords with your stat...@ joppa road<br /><br />i have to draw swords with your statement on 2 accounts firstly we had been selling our best players long before wenger and anelka were at the.club. i remember us losing ray kennedy liam brady frank.stapleton in the 70s nothing has changed there.<br /><br />anelka was certainly not one of our best players he was barely out of nappies and not even a regular. if i remember rightly his sale paved the way for us to build our club and its facilities whilst landing a double and a.few.other trophies too. just wish we could sell a few bit.part strikers now and have the same effect chamakh park bendtner vela murphy arshavin wellinvton there is enough money there to land podolski sow and may be soldado.AFC by Birthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297239025236043707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-57069084249783898842011-12-07T21:10:40.369+00:002011-12-07T21:10:40.369+00:00At the time we did not own are own training facili...At the time we did not own are own training facility we shared the universitys if I am not mistaken.<br /><br /> 1999 we got almost 25 mil?!!!<br /><br />Created the best training facilities.<br />Bought henry.<br />Gave us the foundations moving into 21st century.<br /><br />Anelka is a legend.. of sort :)<br /><br />Great post wrighty!elmonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-302661911367418562011-12-07T20:50:29.356+00:002011-12-07T20:50:29.356+00:00I think Henry was signed to replace Anelka back th...I think Henry was signed to replace Anelka back then together with Suker... So there is every possibilty that the great no. 14 is with us because Anelka opt for Real Madrid. <br /><br />Anyway, let's see, Henry is available for a short term contract, Anelka is available for a low price, maybe we can sign both the realised Wenger's dream now!

Unfortunately for us it set a trend where our best players leave. <br /><br />Still, even today he is a far better player than our back ups to RVP. However if it were me, I would mover Theo to the centre and bring in AOC on the right. Although I see AOC as a powerhouse forward in the future - hopefully for us, unless of course another club comes in for him.<br /><br />Much love<br /><br />JRJoppa Roadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03724137542198967498noreply@blogger.com
