    The Gunners do play some very exciting and beautiful football, much like that on display at the Nou Camp, however there is a slight difference... that being an end product. Where Arsenal have Cesc, Barca have Deco, these two make their teams tick albeit Cesc is like a casio to Deco's rolex. We talk about great players and Henry is defiantely up there, theres no denying that, but on top form Ronaldinho would have him each and every time. I compare him to Roni, not Eto'o due to the fact that like Ronaldinho, Thierry is not an out and out striker. Both are compose on he ball, quick and have a great finish, But with Thierry you know whats coming, when Roni makes you look the other way.

    Then we move onto the out and out goal scorers and as i mentioned Eto'o, who far eclipses the likes of RVP, aliadiere and Non international striker Adebayor. Im sure many gunners would agree that if Sammy was in your staring line up, there wouldn't be as much of a worry about finding the back of the net?

    All in all it seems Arsenal are trying to be the current European ans Spanish champions, not a bad side to base yourselves on, BUT you currently lack the clinical and deadliness the Catalans giants posess.

    Your Thoughts?
