Bergkamp statue
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archiv ... -unveiling
As per Arsenal. com
Statue of the great man due to be unveiled before the Sunderland match, also confirmed he will be present too (bring your boots Dennis !!)
Am three quarters through his book and will just add that everybody says what a great thinker he is, we need him back at our club as a coach asap.

Re: Bergkamp statue
Was listening to a story about him today where he was talking about making a killer pass to a team mate. Basically his philosophy was ' I'll put the ball where it should be and it's up to you if you want to get in that position or not'
Dennis was and probably always will be the greatest player ever to grace the shirt.....imo

Re: Bergkamp statue
bearing in mind we've already got three statues outside the bowl, do we need another? we'll soon have so many statues it'll end up looking like the terracotta army outside guarding our ground
still, he was a fucking genius, and some of the things he did on the pitch were spectacular. my favourite being the assist for ljunberg to score v juve in 2001

Re: Bergkamp statue
That's also his favourite assist too, he waited and waited for Freddie to get in the right position then dink, played him in with just the keeper to beat.Henry Norris 1913 wrote:bearing in mind we've already got three statues outside the bowl, do we need another? we'll soon have so many statues it'll end up looking like the terracotta army outside guarding our ground

Re: Bergkamp statue
Absolute genius, Arsenal legend and adores the club.....love to see him back in some/major capacity. Have to confess though finding his book slightly hard work.....does that make me a bad person as I absolutely love the bloke!?

Me too and I feel dirty even saying that
The man was an absolute genius and it's a travesty that his goal in geordieland has never got the widespread acclaim it deserved - best goal bar none in the premiership era
It's a disgrace that a short arsed injury prone drunk ass jackeen has been allowed to sully the name by associating it with himself

Re: Bergkamp statue
Well there's plenty of room for a few more but they need to delve into the history a bit further. Brady, Drake, Buchan?

Re: Bergkamp statue
Well I hope they've coated it in some kind of jizz proof resin.
Cos its gonna get wanked on.

Single greatest player to ever lace up a pair of football boots bar none.

Re: Bergkamp statue
Haven't agreed with an awful lot of Ian Wright's comments over the last few years but I remember seeing him on Soccer AM about two years ago.
They asked him about Dennis and he just said "Dennis Bergkamp is the best signing Arsenal have ever, and will ever make". That was it.

Re: Bergkamp statue
IMHO Dennis was the Best foreign player to play in the EPL bar none.
I always think he should of started in the CL final.
No coincidence that we've won nothing since he left.
