Title: Flamini and Fabregas Post by: The Baron on March 12, 2008, 10:06:07 AM Wenger said yesterday that they were better than Vieira and Petit as although they weren't stronger in the tackle they were more mobile.
I think he's on drugs. Petit and Vieira were probably the best midfield duo in Europe at that time. They could tackle, scrap and play, vs some great teams and some nasty teams. Fabregas and Flamini or Vieira and Petit?

Fabregas and Flamini or Vieira and Petit? Tricky one. Probably the old two - i think they have better attributes of an all round midfield - size etc. In pure ability terms I'm not sure -they have played through their prime and Fab & Flam havent yet. Title: Re: Flamini and Fabregas Post by: TheChipPrince on March 12, 2008, 10:22:35 AM Vieira & Petit no doubt, he's going to say the new two are not up to the standard of the old two is he... Petit was the best midfielder in the Prem for 2 years, ahead of Keane IMO...

Title: Re: Flamini and Fabregas Post by: Graham C on March 12, 2008, 11:39:01 AM Fabrigas and Flamini are so much younger than Viera and Petit were though. The potential is immense. Also, they were different types of players, Viera and Petit were a great force in midfield that you didn't get past. Flamini and Fabrigas are exciting attacking players.
Title: Re: Flamini and Fabregas Post by: WarBwastard on March 12, 2008, 08:17:49 PM Hard to compare era's. Different sort of game now and different sorts of players. I loved watching Petit and Vieira and they did something Cesc and Mathieu haven't done yet together, which is win trophies. I would rather have Cesc and Mathieu playing in todays game though given how it's played now.
Title: Re: Flamini and Fabregas Post by: Karabiner on March 12, 2008, 08:54:18 PM I think that it is worth remebering that Petit was a defender until he came to Highbury.
He had a couple of great seasons for Arsenal and then got sold on for a huge profit and mediocrity. Fabregas and Flamini have unlimited potential and certainly knit beautifully together, they are aged 20 and 22. Vieira was one of Arsenal's greatest ever midfielders imo, but as per usual after AW sold him has done little of note. Title: Re: Flamini and Fabregas Post by: Nem on March 12, 2008, 11:11:15 PM Wenger would never say that Petit and Vieira were better than Fab and Falm - DUCY?
Ask him if he thinks Henry is a better player than Adebayour and watch him not give a straight answer. Title: Re: Flamini and Fabregas Post by: fergus8 on March 12, 2008, 11:41:39 PM nemesis is seething about chimpastthepostda
