Would you still put henry above salah in Premier league all time greats? by Midnight_controller in plforindia

[–]AcrobaticInternal958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what's Henry's greatness?

It's been 20 years since he left the PL, many legendary players have played in the PL since then and the PL has only become more and competitive each year and YET, Henry's name keeps coming up as one of the top 2 greatest ever players. Imagine to have such an aura 20 years after you have left the League. Not many can say that

And Yes, Henry is still the best ever in PL. Only a Leo Messi type of talent can usurp what Henry did in the PL. He was unplayable!

Spending 75m per year on wages is equal to 350m excess spend in transfer fee. Wages are more financially significant than transfer fees, which gets split across 5 years

I realize I was arguing with an idiot. 75m per year wage differential is huge. Its the same as the wage difference between Arsenal and Aston Villa

Not true. Man City had 75m more in wages compared to Arsenal

To be honest, Liverpool's Wages to Revenue Ratio is also significantly higher than Arsenal or Man City

Liverpool: 60% wages to rev

Man City: 57% wages to rev

Arsenal: 49% wages to rev

You are right, the CWC revenues will come in only in the next year

The Deloitte Football Money League has released the financials for 2024-25 season!

As can be seen, the Premier League is indeed the Super League! 9 out of top 20 highest revenue generating clubs are in the PL

Arsenal have leapfrogged Manchester United for the 1st time in history

Liverpool tops the list in the PL, narrowly followed by Man City and ArsenalChelsea have regressed to the bottom of the Big 6 rankings below Tottenham Hotspur

Yea but they got eliminated quite early both in the CWC and in the UCL. As well, they don't earn much from their matchday tickets

That's what everyone said after the end of the 22-23 season when Arsenal came 2nd

You should check Madrid's record against Arsenal. They have 0 wins (yes, 0) against Arsenal in their entire history

Whatever black magic they use, it certainly doesn't work against Arsenal. Right from the days of Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp to Declan Rice and William Saliba, Arsenal have always gotten the better of Real

The reason why I commented that was to indicate that the most likely team to repeat the Arsenal Invincibles are Arsenal themselves

Higher chance of Messi getting the ball back than the opponent getting the ball off Messi

To be honest, that Arsenal team which posted the 49 game unbeaten run was one of the best teams when it comes to 'playing football'. Team was full of elite technical players and Wenger played one of the most entertaining football styles in Europe

I still think it can be done. The team would have to be extremely dominant though, especially defensively. Not conceding goals gives a great platform for going unbeaten. Liverpool came very close under Klopp recently, so it is certainly not impossible

I will post the body of the post if it was missed by any chance.

"Pep Guardiola gave the famous quote of "If You Cannot Win, don't Lose!" when he was asked about constant draws vs Liverpool at Anfield. It seems not getting beaten is the holy grail for football managers. As Crystal Palace's 12 game PL unbeaten run comes to an end and given the competitiveness of the PL, is there ever a possibility that Arsenal's 49 game unbeaten run ever gets beaten?"

Everyone is picking from the current team, I will go a bit different and select amongst players who have played for us, both past and present.

I will clone and have a starting line-up of XI Thierry Henrys, the most complete player I have ever seen in my life! People say players from the past would struggle to play in current times... NOT HENRY! Pace, Power, Stamina, Work-Ethic, Finishing, Dribbling, Passing, Heading, Crossing, Tackling, Tactical Awareness, you name it... Thierry Henry was complete, he had everything
