he is better than thierry. very smart just like benzema. Anelka and Bergkamp was the best duo we have

Anelka better Than Henry? Bro stop

@@haidaraidid5157 delusional

@@haidaraidid5157 You wanted to say "more talented". Maybe. But of course Henry was better and had much better career.

​@@Jack1986ZEi think that's the thing, at the start of their carrers, Anelka's potential was seen as bigger than Henry . You could say that Anelka was more talented than Henry , but the latter had more determination and was a better profesional .

Wenger’s plan was to play them together

@@LeeH688 We definitely would have won more trophies if that happened.

He had it all like a french R9 and if he had remained at arsenal he would have scored more than thierry who such a team player and a unbelievable passer.

for sure, very strange he was at this level aged 19 but never really looks as devastating afterwards

@@souster98 Agreed. He had some quality years for City and did look really good for Chelsea in 08/09. But after what he showed at Arsenal, he should have rivalled the top strikers of his generation. Just never happened.

@@souster98 naw i cant agree with that Anelka at City and Liverpool looked absolutely incredible. His all round game was even better than in his early days at Arsenal.

campbell was a ridiculous athlete

defo, he's a mix between henry and r9's style

Where would Bergkamp have played? Possibly could've gone 442 diamond with Dennis in behind the two.

@@arsenalogist4285 either that or Bergkamp as an attacking 8 with Viera or Gilberto screening the midfield

Then after Bergkamp retired a front three of Henry, Van Persie and Anelka.

@@nextgenownageAnelka never coming back after flopping at Madrid always a mystery to me he was linked even in 07 as an henry replacement

​​@@arsenalogist4285 They had plenty of CMs. Vieira, Gilberto Silva, Petit, Fabregas, even Pires could have slotted in.

No I think Wenger just got Henry as they'd lost Anelka

@@FootkerSnookball Wenger already confirmed that the plan was to have both of them. Should be easy to find

Ita similar when podolski and giroud came to arsenal and rvp go to man utd 😢

Thanks! I do like freddie but he's not a good "comp" player, he never really did skills or lots of technical stuff etc that's why I haven't

@@souster98 makes sense keep up the great work!

thanks and fully agree, his talent was insane

Treble for sure

Anelka is a goal machine Kanu is an artist

Wiltord and Kanu were incredibly underrated

wat u talking about? kanu was a maestro

@@KMervJr A treble but not the Treble. Arsenal were lucky enough to win the double in 98.

I still remember him walking towards the penalty box from the corner, while Lampard already taken the corner. His intensity is gone But, Anelka doesn't care attitude is his biggest weakness, and his biggest advantage. I remember Chelsea losing 4-1 against Man city(if im not mistaken) and Anelka is the only one that performed like he usually did while others making silly mistakes and being wasteful.

How about his move to Fenerbachce? It was even more stupid decision!

no henry was a downgrade. Anelka was smart he played as a team. if we keep him we could have a champions league trophy

@@haidaraidid5157 What? Of course Anelka was talented, but Henry is Arsenal legend. And what did Anelka win, if he was "un upgrade"?

The season leading up to WC98 he only scored 9 goals in all competitions and other players were more experienced....also did France miss him?? It's worse than saying Beckham & Scholes should've been at Euro96 because they won the double with ManUtd yeah but they'd not yet been capped for England and McManaman, Anderton etc... had been regular PL players in all the PL seasons up until then & had been internationals for a decent amount of time. 2002 to 2006 Anelka played for ManCity. Who were newly promoted to PL 2002/03.

Possibly as he was young and would have improved, if he had stayed at Arsenal; but its a big if!

Agreed.

Got a similar skills, but in terms of relax and controlling the ball Henry was superior, Anelka was just like CR7, depends on speed and shooting

Look at the level henry reached tho. how many strikers in history peaked higher than Henry from 02-06. Yes Anelka had incredible talent maybe more naturally gifted than Henry but it’s hard to see how he would’ve surpassed the level of peak Henry. For me he probably would’ve been just a notch below or equalling him at best not surpassing him

@@mashwork6615 we'll never know bro. But I was so sad that we couldn't have both at front for us, with Bergkamp in the 10 and then later down the line a front three of Henry, Van Persie, Anelka with Fab in the 10 😭😭😭

hey bro how are you

Prince de la ville 113

Same.

After he left Arsenal yeah but when he was between 18 and 20, Henry wasn't even in his league. He had such a high ceiling but wasted his talent.

On the ball there's not much difference and Anelka was way better with headed chances although Anelka's numbers for Arsenal weren't that good although they were in a more defensive team compared to when Henry joined them and Anelka was very young at Arsenal amd only there for 2 years.
