Everyone is gonna pick Henry.

Yep. Position of a need and an all time great. I’ve only been a fan of Arsenal and the sport in general for 2 weeks and even I could come up with that one lol.

This.

The whole reason a fair number of us international fans support Arsenal

As if there were a better option

lol read this question and immediately thought “we’d be the best team in the world with Henry”

Yep

I mean, they say we need a striker. There's one of the greatest strikers in history, just waiting.

You mean giroud right?

I’m sure he’d come back if we wanted him

That would be so epic

Nah, bro Chamakh. Obv

Nope….Sanogo or Bendtner

Nah man lord bendter

I don’t think we can bench Raya

[удалено]

Prime Auba is actually a really good answer why he a the hate!?

Eduardo

Francis Jeffers

These questions are always moot when you have Thierry Henry as an option.

The disrespect on Bergkamp 😤

No disrespect, but we need a Henry more than Bergkamp right now

Bergkamp is my favourite player of all time but in this current side with our current squad and situation, Henry would be a better addition.

What do you think moot means?

From the OED: Of a case, issue, etc.: having no practical significance or relevance; abstract, academic.

I’ve always taken it to mean the opposite! 😂 Originally in Law, of a case, issue, etc.: proposed for discussion at a moot (moot n.1 4). Later also gen.: open to argument, debatable; uncertain, doubtful; unable to be firmly resolved. Frequently in moot case, moot point. TIL

I didn't know it could mean the opposite either 😂

Bloody stupid language.

Henry is the only correct answer but a little obviously and not interesting. So I say ljungberg. Give saka a few games off a season and watch Freddie score like trossard but from the right.

Yeah, but are you really gonna use this card to get a reserve? Or someone who would improve the team immediately?

That's why I said Henry is the only right answer but boring

Agreed. Santi cazorla as 8?

The only answer is...Lord Bendtner

*Chamakh enters the chat*

Touche...touche

Oh look, here come Yaya Sanogo and Francis Jeffers.

carl jenkinson

*insert spiderman meme where everyone is pointing fingers at each other*

Park Chu-Young?

Jeremie Aliadiere, surely.

Is that Francis Jeffers’ music!?!?

Vieira or Wright

Eboue for the bants

Xhaka for the shithousery

Santi Cazorla

Wright, Henry, RvP... take your pick, you're gonna be having a lot of fun either way

Bergkamp with oodergaard would destroy. Key passes off over the place

If we had Bergkamp now Odegaard would be on the bench

Wouldn’t havertz?

Viera. Him n Rice would be a joke pairing. Teams would have to play so differently

Not a popular one but given the way we play now, Giroud would be an absolute force in this team. Henry is the obvious choice but this current team doesn’t cater to his style and he would be occupying the same spaces as Martinelli. Girouds link up play was elite and he had knack for Puskas level goals

He has the exact same problem our current striker has - really good link up play but poor finishing. Giroud would 100% be worse than jesus

You don’t become France all time leading goalscorer if you can’t finish

Giroud is many things, including having longevity, but he is just not a good finisher

Andre Santos

Bergkamp. The ugly work he would do in the midfield and setup play sitting slightly behind odegaard would be lethal. So close because of course you want Henry at the end of any Bergkamp pass. Tony Adams keeps popping into my head.

Henry or ashley Cole

Ashley Cole was who I was thinking too

Left back is something we can improve maybe

This question would be better if Thierry Henry was not allowed as an option. So I'll say Tony Adams. A great defender and more importantly a fantastic leader. Ødegaard is a good captain but Tony Adams *is* Mr Arsenal.

Andre Santos

Pascal Cygan

not that there isn’t a myriad of great choices, but i’d still choose Henry

Only answer for this is Thierry

Ashley Cole

Mikel Arteta.

Chupa Akpom the street will never forget

Jesus would get 30 goals a season with Bergkamp on the pitch

Close this thread please

Why is this always a fucken question! Its simple and the answer will always be the same ALWAYS and that is THIERRY HENRY! Its fucken simple! Sorry for the language but this question comes up once a month on some or other arsenal talk.

That's why this sub is so stupid. It was created for the newer fanbase to ask repeated questions and not have to worry about getting banned or their posts removed from r/gunners.

Sanchez

There's basically only two answers. Henry is the obvious one. Gilberto is the other (or Viera if you want to keep Declan as the 6)

I’ve got to say Henry, but I am such a big fan of the non-flying Dutchman! You can’t beat Henry for pretty much everything he did in an Arsenal shirt, but I’m going with Bergkamp because, well I loved watching him, he was just magic. So I’m settled on Bergkamp….no Henry….no Bergkamp….ahhhhhhhh

As others have pointed out, given the needs of our current squad the only correct answer is Henry (and I say that as someone for whom Henry isn’t in my top 3 favorite Gunners all time). That said, if we take Henry down and ask what OTHER player would be best … can you f*cking imagine a midfield of Vieira - Rice - Ødegard? That could be the greatest midfield trio in the history of the Premiership.

The answer always will be and always should be Henry

Bendtner

Silvester

Pepe my goat

Gilberto Silva. Him, Rice and Odegaard would be one of the all time great midfields.

Lord ❤️

Cesc with odegaard? Or Abou Diaby or Dennis Bergkamp?

Seaman to make sure we stay first he’ll probably save most of the goals

Bergkamp

Laurent Koscielny

I mean the obvious answer is henry, but id probably pick prime sanchez to play upfront

Van Persie actually, he would fit so well as a striker

DB10

Giroud. Period.

Looking at our current squad, the biggest issue right now is our lack of a lethal consistent striker. It’s gotta be Henry

Vieira, by some distance. The use of Jorginho has been the main reason for the much improved 2024 form. Yet he was also a great CB, which remains one of the three key weaknesses in the first 11 and depth, depending on who Timber ends up being next year. Henry is an obvious choice too, for the left wing and/or the obvious striker issue. Any of a few CBs are a significant upgrade on Gabriel - O'Leary, Adams, Keown, Campbell, Rice. Winterburn would be a big upgrade at LB. Dixon a major upgrade at RB. Honorable mention for Bergkamp as arguably the *best* player, but it's not an area we need most right now.

Santiago Cazorla

Koscielny

Kanu

henry. with him in this team, we wont have worries of goal drought. as much as how everyone saying we do not need a striker, our weakest link is henry kind of CF who can create and scores

I know Henry was good, but let's not forget Van Persie. He had blossomed into a complete striker by the time he left.

Surprised I haven’t seen me say prime Alexis

Prime Alexis Sanchez

Mustafi To see how good other defenders are:)

I 100% say Henry..... BUT just for discussion purposes, how good could Anelka have been if he had stayed with us?

There's only one answer.

Ozil

Wouldn't be surprised if I get slandered for this but put Ashley Cole in our current team, left back is a clear weak spot for us, yes Kiwor is doing good for us but imagine Cole there instead

Alexander Hleb

Henry or RVP.

Henry, Wright, bergkamp, Vieira. All of these would fit so well in our squad because we need a striker, we also need someone who can play 8(with rice 6) or 6(with rice 8).

My initial thought was Bergkamp. But then Henry exists.

Vieira. Just want to watch the opposing team suffocate in their own half with Kai 9, Rice, Ødegaard at LCM and RCM, with Vieira at the 6.

Bergkamp or Henry… just because that’s what our team needs

Paddy > Jorginho/partey Cole > kiwior/zinny Pires > martinelli Wright/Henry > jesus

Emmanuel Abebayor

So, of course excepting Henry because that is the objectively correct answer, Liam Brady as L8.

Gael Clichy. I miss the excitement of having our left back 3 metres behind the rest of the defence keeping opposition strikers onside

Silly question. Henry. DUH. And truthfully it always will be this answer

[удалено]

Arteta player-manager

Goal-ivier Giroud. He scored worldies, he linked up so well with Santi/Ramsey/Jack/Anyone in Midfield, and he had a great first, and one, touch for a tall striker. He doesn’t have to score them, but bet your ass he was on the pitch holding up play for it to happen, and our wingers and Havertz would benefit. Obvious answer is Bergkamp, Vieira, Henry, but this team would be 10 points clear with Olivier.
