He means a 49 year old Adams would still walk into our team.

I'd rather have Keown now than Adams now

Keown's special brand of kicking and intimidating strikers wouldn't require him to be superfit.

Good lord do we need him now. I never thought about it but he's exactly it. Sure we need a leader but his specific talents would be most welcome.

they would both be better than what we have keown and Adams at their very worst would be better than what we have at their very best no comparison AW could not pick a CB if his life depended on it

This.

~It's shameful, truly SHAMEFUL to see gutless, slow cowards like Merts and Kocielny playing on the Arsenal first team in positions that Adams and Keown played in - and as was said, TA and MK would even today do a better job than Oiltanker and Cowardcielney

On a side note, how many times would our CB's even try this anymore?


Vermaelen did it 3 times a game for a couple of years.

Didn't help much

Seems to be giving a better account of himself on tv atm. Can't help wondering if he's had some media training or people working on his image with him. Seems a lot happier too, which is good to see.
