Former vs The Latter

2015/16 has already gone underway for sometime, and waiting for the next Arsenal match would be boring. So why not let us learn some Arsenal's history while waiting for the next match. Here are some mouth-watering compare and contrast in three aspects about which Arsenal players have the likes of the previous Arsenal legends and likely to become one of them in the future.

1) Vitality

Thierry Henry

Perhaps the greatest of all time and expect would take a very big effort for the latter to break his unprecedented record. Triumph as both highest Arsenal assistor (80) and goal scorer (228) of all time. OMG!!!, is he still a human.

Below are some of his major honours:

• Fifa World Player of the Year. 
• Two times PFA Player's Player of the year 
• FWA Footballers of the year
• Two  league titles and Three FA cup
• Led Arsenal to UEFA CL Final

Henry is known for his devastating pace and slick touch skills

Vs

Alexis Sanchez 

Unlike many others in the Arsenal squad, Sanchez demonstrates a very high level of work rate, he is the kind player that will chase you back and forth once he losses possesion. As most already expected, Alexis Sanchez has proven to everyone what he's worth of even in his very first season with Arsenal. Although he doesn't have as much honours as Henry had, it is worth to mention that Sanchez is only player that has scored an hat-trick in Serie-A, La-Liga, and in the Premier League (recently achieved). Here are some of his major honours:

• Two-consecutive FA winners (Arsenal)
• FA community shield (Arsenal)
• La-Liga (Barcelona)
• Copa del ray
• Reached round-16 in 2014 Fifa World Cup Brazil
• PFA Team of the year

Sanchez scored a brilliant free kick against Southampton

2) Speed

Walcott

One of the fastest players in the world of football, and the fastest player in the newly released Fifa 16 video game. He is deadly in close range and has proven very hard to be tracked down by defenders, he is a nightmare to most of the world-class defenders because of his pace. However, injuries have always been the biggest barrier that stop him from becoming one of the best players in the world like the likes of Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery. He recently came out of his long-term injury and prove that there is plenty more he can provide for Arsenal in the attacking line, which Wenger played him as a striker over Olivier Giroud as a result of his outstanding form. One of the most remarkable moments is when he scored an hat-trick against West Brom not long after he came out of his frustrating injury to win over Wenger's believe.

Walcott(17 years old) was named in the squad while England won the 2006 World Cup

Vs

Marc Overmars

A Dutch international that has played a big part in Arsenal's 1997/98 Premiership Champions. Like Theo Walcott, Overmars has a devastating pace that can cut through the defence-line as if it was a piece of cake. In comparison, Overmars has mastered the arts of finishing over Walcott and was more flexible in changing directions, making the defenders hard to track him down. Sadly, he left Arsenal to Barcelona in 2000.

Overmars paired up with Legends like Henry very well

3) Vision

Cesc Fabregas

One of the best signings Arsene Wenger has ever made in his earlier days in Arsenal. Fabregas is well known for his accurate long pass and vision, captained Arsenal for somewhile before left to Barcelona in a shock transfer. Let it be his finishing ability or his dribbling skills, he has mastered all of them. He played a crucial part in the triumped of 2010 Fifa World Cup for Spain in which he sets up an assist for Iniesta's winner in the extra time.

Vs

Mesut Özil

If there is someone to be match with Fabregas' creativity and vision, it had to be Özil. Mesut Özil has once been praised by Jose Mourinho that his accuracy in passing can be match to the likes of legends like Zidane. Despite his performance has been below par last season, Özil made up the lost by playing some of the most entertaining football during season 2014/15. He is no doubt will be the best no. 10 in the world if only he knows how to perform consistently.
