Replace one starting player with a legend

Post by DanielD »

If you had the choice to replace one current starting Arsenal player with an Arsenal legend, what position would you change, which player will be replaced, and who will replace him?
Try to be fair. Don't switch non first team players with legends (Pires for Diaby, for example), only sure starters.

I didn't have to think a lot for my choice.

Adams for Gallas - Mr Arsenal is just what this Arsenal team needs, at the moment.
His presence on the pitch, his immense leadership and of course his defensive skills. It would have been interesting to see how TA6 would connect with KT5.

For me, He would have been the perfect player to be in a team like current Arsenal

As much as we need an Adams type, I would have to go for Vieira for "Flamini"

(not sure who will start next to Cesc next season so that is why I have put "Flamini".)

As soon as i read the title of this thread only one came into my head and that was Adams for Gallas.
Though this got me thinking there are few positions that i wouldnt change for a player of the 04 team or the 98 team. Bergie,Thierry, Wrighty for Adebayor or Van Persie? who could argue that?

Same here.

If i wasnt' to go for the complete obvious though i would say Ted Drake for Adebayor. 30 goals in a season and you want £120,00 pah!! Drakey got 44 and all he wanted was a pint of mild (probably)
