Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry Stays!!

I think the difference between United and Arsenal's young players is the fact that ours have been put into the team and have excelled in the process. Fabregas, Eboue, Flamini, Senderos, Gilbert, Djourou, Clichy have all come into the side and presided over a record Champions League run for the team. These players have not let us down during this time.
The fact that we are the only club in World football to have 3 teenagers going to the World Cup shows that we have a good basis for a new team.
How much did these players cost? Virtually zilch! Untied have Ronaldo (12million :lol

and Fletcher who have broken into the team, thats it!! Liam Miller? :lol: Oh yeah and Rooney! But as you keep telling us, 1 man don't make a team!
LOL and you tell me im biased!
Ok lets see Uniteds promising young players not the crap ones you have mentioned to favour your argument.
Pique, Bardsley,Richardson,Ronaldo,Rooney and Rossi all young players for the future who will play their part. They got United to the Carling cup final(something the arsenal young boys couldnt accomplish) and also helped United finish runners up to chelsea. These along with plenty more experiencesd plaers who are still quite young like Park,Rio,Smith,Vidic,Evra and Brown. Then we have the senior veterans like Scholes, G.Neville, Giggs, Solsjeaker, Saha, Heinze, RVN and VDS.
Now lets break down arsenals squad and see their main players.Since you already mentioned your young players we'll just go through the rest of the team and see how they are.
Cole,lauren,Campbell and toure prove arsenal have a healthy defense.
In midfield you have ljunberg who seems to be past it only managing 2 goals this campaign. Pires another who is past his peak and looks to be on his way. Hleb is young and a good player. Gilberto seems a good senior member. Diaby is good young player but fucked his ankle severly so its questionable if he will be the same player when he gets back from that sick injury. Arsenal seem to only have 3 midfielders to shout home about.
Up front there is Henry, Adeboywhore, Reyes(dont know what use this guy is except for winning freekicks) and Van Persie. Henry seems to be the only world class striker out of this bunch.
Theo Wilcock, I wont even go into cuz nobody knows anything about him except that the most difficult defender he has come up against is Johnathan Spector of Charlton reserves.
As i said before i believe both teams have a good future. But from breaking it down there quite clearly seems to be more weaknesses in Arsenal's squad.
