Bergkamp vs Van Persie

16 November 2011 11:11
For Arsenal the 2005/06 season was their final season at the Arsenal Stadium in Highbury.

The season also marked the emergence of Robin Van Persie and the final season in Dennis Bergkamps career.

The Dutch forwards breifly played together but for Arsenal fans it is hard to compare who had the greatest impact for the Gunners.

With Bergkamp often playing in a stronger Arsenal team could he have had the same affect in the current team and carry the side like Van Persie has done this season?

Likewise would Van Persie have been good enough to play his part in the invincibles team of 2003/04?
