If Anelka hadn't left Arsenal, Wenger wouldn't have signed Henry

@@randyschwaggins that’s actually false. Arsene came out and said he wanted to buy Henry to partner up with Anelka. Henry wasn’t the replacement, it was actually Suker.

@ayr.3702 I'd love to see that quote...along with a theory about the money was meant to come from to finance the Henry deal without the income from Anelka.

thats why the NYPD arrests so many black dudes. they turn out like him...

​@@randyschwagginsWenger did actually say that. It was his dream to partner Henry with Anelka

Yeah, but Henry was extremely gifted and he was really fast and bigger than Anelka. But the main difference was their intelligence. However, even Eto'o said Anelka was better. I would say that as a striker when it comes find holes on a defense or the game is static in the attacking third Anelka was better. Even though Anelka was smaller but was more agressive, had better headers than Henry and hold up play. Plus he was a natural finisher what we can't say from Henry. But Henry was a complete player. Played with the speed like Mbappe or R9 while he was a great playmaker and great dribbler at the same time with great stamina. But yeah Anelka as a pure striker was probably better. We will never know how Anelka would have turned out if he stayed at Arsenal with less injuries. For me it's like a comparison between Harry Kane and Balotelli. No one questions as a youngster who had bigger potential and who was the better striker but Kane become ambidextrous with time, his passing become phenomenal, he pressed constantly, got stronger and bigger. While Balotelli never really could show consistently his talent and didn't really developed his game. Even if he was faster, bigger and stronger than Kane and had a great header and shot from a young age. I believe Balotelli was a better striker than Kane for a long time but Harry brought creativity, leadership, consistency while he had a lot of quality that made him more than just a decent striker like Icardi or Balotelli.

Yeah Henry was gifted but pale in comparison to Anelka, which speaks volume of his talent. Anelka is absurdly calm in front of goal and 1v1, as Liverpool fans it’s always one of the “what if” for fans of my generation

I'm not sure I agree. Their ability at the time differed so much that Anelka appeared (and was) way ahead, but potential ability is mainly about their mentality. Henry had it, Anelka did not. If Anelka had Henry's professionalism and dedication to the sport he'd probably regarded amongst the greatest, amonst Messi, Ronaldo, Pele, Maradona. He still had an incredible career but it does seem his "sulky" attitude really held him back.

@@neil1982people need to stop thinking every wasted talent could have been Messi ronaldo pele or maradona no chance anelka would be on the same level as Messi or maradona even if he had discipline he was a natural scorer sure but as footballer overall in terms of dribbling and playmaking he wouldn’t sniff the greats

Like Rooney and Ronaldo then

Agree, model professional, he was incredible for us…

Besides missing that penalty in the ucl final against manu :(

We should have won that game in regular time, didn't Drogba got the red? we redeemed it in 2012 anyway. He didn't went Aol after

@@ionnicoara6657 Aol lol

@@ThePablo951 and also getting robbed the ucl title by barca a few years later, you can look it up the clear hand of pique and ref got paid to help barca

and even then his touches were superb, remember him playing and giving an assist like it was nothing.

He scored in 5-0 win vs Pune

Mickey Mouse could've scored in the Indian Super League.

@@shanethemuzz5060thats pretty funny ngl

@@viktorjaklbsen1577Thanks.✌️

Yeah Diouf was worse than Anelka! Once he got fat, his career was over

Oh yes I remember Liverpool refusing to sign Anelka on a permanent deal and opting for the disaster that was Diouf. I was dumbfounded. A forward line of Anelka and Owen would have been terrifying. Houllier made a massive error.

@@MaximilianXXX I remember Senegal being the darlings of the 02 World Cup and we got very very carried away with it. We signed Diouf and Diao who I'm pretty sure no one in the Liverpool camp had probably even heard of before they beat France in that opening game 😂 I loved Houlier. But he had a knack for calling people "the next ___" and as a kid I totally bought it at first 😂When Diao signed I told all my buddies we have the next Vieira on Houlier's word. Then he said Baros was the next Maradona 🤦‍♂ and Cisse was the next Henry 🤦‍♂ or Cheyrou the next Zidane 🤦‍♂ It started getting embarrassing when they all flopped. 🤣But he did have the actual Anelka and threw him away for Diouf 🙃

Yes all i remember agent want 12mil pound to sign anelka into contract including 4years wage...stupid lfc not take him instead keep diouf

Im 49 end of August and not signing Anelka is my only transfer gripe in my support of LFC

He was already on his way out then

@@carljcmjk8609 How do you know when I was at school?

@@carljcmjk8609he was a legend

@@jideofor.brightbright4488 aha playing in psg?

Yup, and his beef with Lewandowski in National team because of political difference makes his story is kinda unique and weird at same time.

i second that!

as a Dortmund fan, I need this video to be done right now.

Who

Lmao. I used to play fifa with this guy, he always chose Dortmund and had Blaze as secret attacker from behind, he torched me on multiple occasions.

yeah that's a hell of a team. Laurent Robert's left foot was something special

Yesterday was neymar ,messi and mbakpe.respect to PSG.

@@evilotis01pop

How come he was that good as a striker.

he still went on to win the prem, cl and a goldern boot.

Just like Balotelli

What about racims??

John Terry wasn’t having it 😂

Enjoyed his selflessness @ Chelsea, any striker's dream partner. Just went about creating & scoring without any fuss, he had matured by then, but was too late to turn back the hands of time. Only if he had worked on his Ego, he'd have been one of the best ever Modern Strikers to play the game. I dare say he was as good as R9

not his prime

I'm a Spurs fan so can say it with no bias...his period at Arsenal he was electric, you sensed you was watching a legend in the making, some of the stuff he was doing on the pitch. Leaving Arsenal stopped all that.

Don't mind the Arsenal fans they want to portray his illustrious career is being started and ended with them only.

😂😂😂😂 rt

When he score he is italian,when he miss he is black African go back to Africa... I hope you understood .

Spoken like a true loser. The guy is a footballing legend despite the controversies.

He was a great player but unfortunately his brothers who were his advisors did not do enough for him in regards to seeking out his best interest. As an Arsenal fan I am annoyed that he got pushed out the team for fan favourite Ian Wright. I wish Wenger could have incorporated Anelka alongside Side Wright and Bergkamp!!.

thats what im saying he didnt ruin anything he played for literally everyone legendary player

Not sure about getting rich... I think I've heard "struggled financially" somewhere in the video 😅 And after all those "lucrative" moves, his net worth as of now is 22.5 million pounds. Which is kind of low for a "legendary" footballer... But then again, he is worth 22.4 million more than me 🤣

@@omulamfibie yeah wages were high back then but not compared to how it was now Kai havertz now is earning more than what messi and kaka were earning combined in 2010

Better and greater are two different things though. Better is the one with the better abilities, greater is the one with the bigger impact and more achievements.

So by using your logic Isco > Gerrard since Isco has a better trophy cabinet? Being better can't be determined by the amount of gold you've amassed throughout your career as Football is a team sport, the better team wins. A player maybe better than the other technically speaking but if the first player isn't in a team that compliments the player's skillset and strengths, it'll be a failed project, as simple as that. Anelka might've been the better one initially but a string of poor choices and lack of team spirit made him spiral down the pit of failure

Ur statment is full of flaws since there is bunch of shit players with alot of achievements than alot of great players which dont have them just cuz they were part of some team. Starting from some shity attacker who has champions league compared to Ibrahimovic for example.

He is better than henry technical

@@tzoleto I will agree with you on your statement.

Uhm, Anelka wasn't part of the UCL QF run. You are waaay off. It was a year after the centenary season, 2007-2008 with Zico in charge. It was actually Deivid de Souza who destroyed Chelsea and Inter alike. Anelka left the club 2 years before that. While I truly count myself lucky that I was able to watch Anelka during his time in Fenerbahçe (I was a teenager with a lot of time and free season ticket lol), and he was truly special, you are talking about entirely different seasons and players.

​@@DogukanSeptemDavid de souza was a player! Was appiah there too no?

Alex dezousa

Legend

ngl i completely forgot a out him this video brought back my memories of using him in fifa 11 his prime was before i watched the game

Sadly more of a Chelsea legend that he was for Arsenal due to his short spell.

science fiction 🤣

But still, Anelka was a better striker and Henry could have been the best winger in the world.

@@kohikappuHenry has 5 or 6 golden boots anelka was never on Henry’s level

@@mo2k638 Anelka seems to be more effective as a striker, but this is just my thought about him as I saw his playing style was different compared to Henry, who is more of a poacher than a target man.

His a net worth of 20 million!!! He doesn't need anyone's pity. Also the guy is a bit of a prick.

He was the cause of his downfall

Daily Dose makes everything seem sad

he was defo better aged 18/19 then henry was at same age

@@sponish0 Apples and oranges. Anelka started life and ended life as a striker. Henry was a winger who Arsene brought into a forward's role

@@BOZ_11 i mean they were both forward players and comparable, not like we are comparing a striker and a goalkeeper

@@sponish0 a striker and a winger

@@BOZ_11 and the striker was better than the winger at the time

Thanks to put some context bro. Well appreciated.

Did Liverpool turn him down or did andlkas entourage turn down Liverpool?

@@jacksonagadagaonatry4648 Hi Nicolas, nice to meet you.

@@jacksonagadagaonatry4648 He was in-fact better than Henry. And I would even argue he would have a better legacy as Arsenal legend than him.

Nothing like spurs lol bolton is highest ever finish was 6th and next was 8th😂

I saw that and all I could think was "wow, this guy's an idiot".

Adebayor was good what are you talking about ?

@@jshsvsjejed6960 Anelka was also good, we are talking about maximizing their potentials here.

Yeah, just like Odegaard and Dembele in recent years.

Adebayor had one good season at Arsenal and he thought he was the world greatest, even though he would miss 4 good chances to score 1

Being called a genie or a generational talent fries the brain of players !

Henry isn't underrated. He's known as one of the best players ever.

Its not even close. The one who ruined his insane potential is adriano. he couldve been r9 2.0 for real. He even had one season scoring 40 goals in Italy. back then seria a was what prem is now.

@@DD-rk6kn Adriano is the one who will remain the biggest what if in football and youre damn right... Seria A was astonishing but from then we have just seen the downfall of it. Berlusconi predicted it years ago

because italy was stupid. The prem did a lot of friendlies and promos in asia china, japan and india to promote the premier league in the 90s and 2000s. Thats why they get those super tv deals now. China and asia watch the premier League the most.@@GoalRevolution

Clearly you didn't watch him play when he was young. I did, I watched him play at Arsenal, PSG, Real Madrid, Liverpool. He was better than Henry.

​@@Legenda20SLOno

@@eddiss2199 yep. He was faster than Henry, had better ball control, better shot from distance, better 1 on 1. Watch his old clips from Arsenal. Even Henry admits that he was better than him.

@@Legenda20SLO maybe in your dreams that analka was better than henry, i never saw anelka leave the midfield, dribble past the team opposite and score, anelka didn't even take free kicks, anelka never carried a team on his back, you talk about technique but henry was more efficient than anelka by far

@@eddiss2199 Anelka was the fastest player in premiership, or maybe had the same speed as Owen. He outsprinted every defender like he wasn't even there.

Google "Marco Van Basten" 😂

Van Basten retired in 95 when Henry and Ronaldo just started their careers. So they are not in the same era.

Suarez, benzema and lewandowski equaly as good as him and Suarez maybe even better than Henry.

​@@pauliyonas3576no

Adriano was better then anelka in everything already in that age. He shouldve been r9 2.0

Then tell us what really happened.

@@josefsad1502 He won't because it is not his business to do so. Plus this is private matter. If I was Anelkas brother I would ignore false lies. If you become very defensive you will be seen as a liar trying to cover up and deflect. The smartest thing you can do is to be quiet and don't use the victim card because it will make you look very weak and pathetic from a millionaire like Anelka.

@@Trancymind I didn't ask you anything.

@@Trancymind Of course l can but it will take more than a few lines to tell the real story. Only thing l can say its that mistakes have been made and leaving to Madrid was not the first choice but the unexpected consequences of events forced him to go to Madrid.
