smithills_gent Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 A good player but not worthy of a statue at a great club like Arsenal, makes Arsenal look a bit small time for me. Quote
jagermoot Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Makes no sense. Top player, but a statue?? Can we get a simon coleman statue then? Quote
gonzo Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Makes no sense. Top player, but a statue?? Can we get a simon coleman statue then? Maybe it could have Marco Gabbiadini breaking his leg? Quote
Zico Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Is he dead? If not, why bother Should they not get an Ian Wright one though? Quote
superjohnmcginlay Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Isn't the pose of the statue from when he was playing for Holland Quote
smithills_gent Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 Is he dead? If not, why bother Should they not get an Ian Wright one though? I don't think they have to be dead, they just have to be legends. Ian Wright would be ok, he is an all time Arsenal legend.If Bergkamp is considered a legend they'd probably need to do 40 statues!! Henry was the outstanding striker from the Bergkamp days and i'd definitley put Viera above Bergkamp and Petit and maybe even Ljungberg up with him, not even thinking about the defence and goalkeeper.

superjohnmcginlay Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 They could get one of Tony Adams ploughing a car into a wall Quote
stevieb Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 They could get one of Tony Adams ploughing a car into a wall Haha. Quality Quote
DazBob Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 It all seems a bit odd. Do they have statues of any other players around the ground? There must be a whole host of players who should be 'immortalised' ahead of Bergkamp (fantastic player that he was). Quote
enzo gambaro Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 There's enough folk prepared to wank themselves into a frenzy over Frank Worthington's five minutes at Burnden. Bergkamp managed 400+ appearances over eleven seasons, winning the league three times and the Cup four. Quote

I think if there was ever talk about a Worthington statue, these 'wankers' would think there'd be players far more deserving. Quote
Whites man Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 It all seems a bit odd. Do they have statues of any other players around the ground? Yes, quite a few. Quote
enzo gambaro Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 So? I think if there was ever talk about a Worthington statue, these 'wankers' would think there'd be players far more deserving. True, there are players who have made more appearances, but not many, I don't think. There are already statues of Adams (not at the wheel) and Henry. I doubt many of the players above Bergkamp will have brought the fans as much pleasure, though a group statue of Dixon, Winterburn, Adams and Keown in a line, hands raised as Seaman makes a "push up" gesture behind them would be amusing. Pat Rice looks too much like Elton for it to work, but Graham Rix, maybe? Or Paul Merson doing his ale celebration? Quote
DazBob Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Yes, quite a few. That's why I asked as I had no idea. Turns out they have 3. Chapman, Adams and Henry. Quote

If I was an Arsenal fan I reckon I'd want something that emulated either that famous defence all with their arms raised, or something to commemorate their unbeaten season. ... or one of Michael Jackson.

enzo gambaro Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 ... or one of Michael Jackson. Elton John do? Two birds, one stone, etc. Quote
Sweep Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 ... or one of Michael Jackson. It is simply brilliant... Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Is it just me, or does anyone else reckon Al-Fayed's house probably looks like an 'upmarket' (is that possible) Brighthouse? If we're talking statues, this 'affable Oompa-Loomp carrying a giant malteser', supposedly Southampton chairman Ted Bates always deserves a mention. It was a snip at £112,000 - melted down for scrap after about a week! Edited March 1, 2013 by Youri McAnespie Quote
Pablo Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Well thats Arsenal for you now, lead by the man that tells them finishing 4th is better than winning a Cup. Madness. Quote
tomski Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Well thats Arsenal for you now, lead by the man that tells them finishing 4th is better than winning a Cup. Madness. It is. Cup over 4th anyday. Don't get me wrong if we did finish fourth I wouldn't be too upset but silverware is the aim of the game surely, spoke to a pompey fan recently and regardless of all that's gone on, he loved that cup win and so he should.

I reckon most Arsenal fans would rather qualify for the Champions League than win a cup. BTW, it's Denis, not Dennis. Pretty sure I remember his name was spelt that way as his dad was a fan of Denis Law. Edited March 1, 2013 by DazBob Quote
