    Hmmm, I'd have to say Rooney or Ronaldo, not exactly what we're looking for but there's both fantastic players.

    You wouldn't be tempted by John O'Shea to replace Ashley Cole on the left? :p

    If they could pick any player, they could probably do with Ronaldo, though it would be interesting to see how Henry and Van Nistlerooy would play together. Could be a great partnership.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    If Henry and Van Nist played together, there would be no defense which could stop them, none whatsoever. They would score every game.

    I always wanted Henry to play for Man Utd because of this.

    George Best.

    Personally I would pick ronaldo and then run him over with one of those cars he sponsers and that will teach him to stay down :D

    However If I was AW I would not lower myself to pick any I would be happy with what I have

    Van Nistelrooy, it's a no brainer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,836 ✭✭✭Vokes


    AW would probably just take Van der Saar, and that'd be it tbh.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 990 ✭✭✭lili

    I think Rooney is the better player but I'd pick Van Nistelrooy because he's the type of goalhanger Arsenal need... although Ruud is getting on a bit and Rooney isn't even 20 yet. One player I'd never have is Ronaldo, I do not rate him at all. Classic case of style over substance. Heinze would be good if Cole goes to cheslea for a stupid amount of money (hopefully).

    i have always wondered what Henry and van Nistelrooy could do together up front

    i'd imagine with Henry doing the running and van Nistelrooy doing the poaching they would be unbeatable

    I reckon they'd be fairly similar to Henry/Trézéguet (i.e., fairly shíte).

    Rooney or Ronaldo probably... Arsenal are well stocked in both positions already however.

    Now if it was Chelsea, then one of the three we'd probably have now anyway if Abramovich hadn't come along - Terry, Gallas or Essien. Maybe Duff or Robben, but again that'd be like taking Rooney or Ronaldo - a bit excessive and wasteful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    I have to agree with others that Henry/Van Nistelrooy would make defences all over the world crap themselves.
    Although one area that Arsene Wenger hasn't really addressed that Fergie has is the goal-keeping situation, maybe he'd take Van Der Sar.

    Lehman isn't as bad as people make out.

    Me I would take Rooney. By far and away the most important player at Utd at the mo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,966 ✭✭✭Jivin Turkey


    I'm utterly flabbergasted that so many people have even mentioned Ronaldo. For a start, he's not actually very good, and secondly, Arsenal have an embarassment of riches out wide.

    Personally I would take Van Nistelrooy, I just think he and Henry would work very well together, and he is the exact type of player I feel Arsenal need, a goal poacher. How someone could compare him to Trezeguet is again off the wall.

    Rooney is an unbelievable talent, and Uniteds best outfield player at the moment, I just think RvN and Henry would complement each other perfectly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    Without a doubt Van Nistelrooy and maybe Van Der Saar as well.

    Don't rate Ronaldo at all, Rooney is a great talent but all Arsenal need is a goal hanger at the moment (and a defender so I will nick Terry from Chelsea as well :D).
