The Arsenal Dream Team

Arsenal official website is doing the usual summer round up with a all-time best XI. This is how it reads as of now:

--------------------------David Seaman--------------------------

Lee Dixon-----Sol Campbell-------Tony Adams-----Nigel Winterburn

Ljunberg--------Liam Brady----------Patrick Viera------------Pires

------------------Bergkamp----------Henry----------------------

Since we have been looking for some other topics to keep us going, thought we could talk about how a team of these players, all at their peaks, would fare against the current teams in the PL and CL..

Fans of other clubs can also compile their all time XI and maybe we could see how much better our best were against the others too..

lol that defense looks unbreakable .

Seriously!!

love how 70% of the team is always the invincibles.

In 10 years no doubt that midfield will be Vieira/Wilshere.

We can create a team just as menacing without them though...

any team with Wright will always be menacing. :farao:

Add Viera to the list now.

The poll does not include current players.. Which all current players would make it? What do you think..?

Not one, right now. Wilshere, maybe in the future. Compare the results thus far with the quality we put out on the pitch right now. Fabregas and RvP would come close, but then I see the number of appearances these guys have notched up and the contributions they have made in their times, and I can't possibly put Fabregas or RvP in that list then.

Poor RvP - theres no way he'll make it in to that team. Bergkamp and Henry have those positions set for life. I'd bet my house on neither of them falling off those spots in the future of Arsenal.

Just out of Curiosity, which positions do you think we might see change in 10 years?

Wilshere into the midfield.. Mark my words.. Thats right folks, you heard it first from Srigooner at Goal-Legacy.

Kiwigunner beat you to it

why not sagna?.... vermaelen to replcae sol cambell?
our current crop needs some silverware! and not forks!

can you imagine ramsey and wilshere at 30 at arsenal? 2 bosses!

Honestly, If it were possible we could have Wilshere/Ramsey/Frimpong at ages 30, then Lansbury kind of like we had Parlour. That would be incredible.

"OH, its just ray parlour"

Ray Parlours supersonic hearing activates and he scores a frakking incredible screamer!

Ahaha was that Soccer AM commentaries?

Ljungberg Vieira Brady Pires

Bergkamp Henry

- I would have this midfield and attack

Yeah thats been the set team for the past 5 or so years.

While i like Ljungberg and Pires, i think that there could be better players in those positions some time in the future. They are 'weak points', for lack of a better term

Wouldn't say Pires was a weak point lol

Looks like you got it spot on Sam

Maybe not, i don't know. There have been better players in history though...

who lol

btw other then Henry and Bergkamp,
we have some exceptional strikers :
Cliff Bastin, Ted Drake, GEORGE GRAHAM, Ian WRIGHT WRIGHT WRIGHT.

Bergkamp - Duh!

The other striker has to Henry.. No offense to the other greats, but the club top scorer has every right for the last striker spot..

I can't really think of any, but i'm sure theres a few players out there today i'd choose over them, but pretty much every other position i wouldn't want changed. Make sense?

Eg, Vieieieieira in his prime would be my perfect DM, Henry/Bergkamp combination is the best theres been for decades etc...

Whatever has Bergkamp and Henry I'm game

And with that, (ladies and) gentlemen, our dream team is complete. And it is FORMIDABLE!
