I agree. There are a lot of players Arsenal haven't replaced, though. I would add Gilberto Silva to the list as well. There's not one player in the current Arsenal squad who's there primarily for his abilities when the opposition are in possession.Viva Rivaldo said:That's gotta be one of the best shouts - it really has been so obvious that they've been lacking his bottle for years.10.Goater_Legend said:For me it would probably be Vieira at Arsenal, they've never replaced him and as a result have won nothing for 6 years nearly.
And similarly, Henry, to a lesser extent. They've never replaced him with a 30 goal a season striker.
That, and the fact that they've spent next to nothing on players since 2005. Oh and look, no spending = no trophies.Viva Rivaldo said:That's gotta be one of the best shouts - it really has been so obvious that they've been lacking his bottle for years.10.Goater_Legend said:For me it would probably be Vieira at Arsenal, they've never replaced him and as a result have won nothing for 6 years nearly.

I think we all know we'd rather have their "Pass-pass-pass-pass-pass-miss. Rinse.
