    Bergkamp didn't lack form at Inter.
    Inter lacked tactical vision.

      I think you're absolutely right he wasn't going to be effective as a main striker in a 4-3-3 and they never saw that but what was Inter's loss was Arsenal's gain.

      this is so important to me as a footballer. sometimes playing in a shit team makes you think you are shit. when in reality, if you play in a smart team you can look 100times better.

      mind you, Inter won the UEFA-cup with Bergkamp en Jonk scoring in almost every round including the final. there's a lot of players or clubs that never once won an European Cup. I remember Dennis' striking partner Balboa being very egoistic and negative.

      Pretty sure he meant it. He instantly turned and knew exactly where to expect the ball on the other side.

    I was always jealous as a Liverpool fan that he was an Arsenal player. Absolutely fabulous footballer and a joy to watch. That goal against Newcastle, to this day, is still my favourite ever goal in PL history. The temerity to even think about doing it. The speed of thought, the touch to take the pace off of a fast ball and to cushion it, set it up with perfect backspin to sit perfectly for him to spin 180 degrees, blind and in the opposite direction, run onto and then open up the body to coolly slot it in is pure magic.

I had already given up hope and seeing this evolve in front of my eyes was just out of this world. What made this even better was the announcer sort of announcing this goal during the attack. It was a delight seeing Bergkamp play. To me he's truly one of the greatest of all time.

I was always scared when he got the ball against us. Bergkamp, routinely scored goals for club and country that were not only out of this world, but defied belief and description. I was glad and sad when he retired, we were rid of a nemesis but Premier League lost his genius.

When Bergkamp scored against us I wasn't happy at all to say it in a decent way.

    I watched a video of the Arsenal team of Bergkamp's era last week - a group of players were celebrating a goal and I was astonished at the names involved in the celebration; I'd forgotten what a brilliant group that was.... Bergkamp, Henry, Vieira, Pires, Campbell, Gilberto, Reyes, Cole, Lauren - that's more than a nucleus for a World Cup winning team! Such a huge amount of talent in that team.

    The greatest two touches in football history, left foot spin, right foot goal, i was there up the other end with the rest of the Arsenal fans and none of us including me knew how he did what he did. Some so called expert pundits suggested at the time it was luck but now they all agree it was a defining moment of artistry in football. So glad i was there. Thank you Dennis for all the great memories, me and i am sure all Arsenal fans will never ever forget you.

The control, touch to take it away from the defender and then finally smash it beyond the keeper. Watching that live, he just did it all before your brain could compute what he'd done. And then you were just left flabbergasted.
    Should also be pointed out, he was terrified of flying and this led to him missing many European nights with Arsenal. A tragedy for any football lover.

      @@ppo9200 You’re missing my point about defenders and I’m not sure if it’s intentional or not. Defending peaked in the late 90’s and 2000’s, before that it was rough and dirty, after that it’s been any touch and the player is fouled. Defending now has changed massively since then and has changed massively before too, but that is utterly beside the point. The defenders today are absolute trash compared to the 2000’s and they aren’t allowed to be defenders anymore. Not just that they aren’t allowed to kick people, the tackle has to be absolutely clean or it’s a foul, back then there was a little bit of give and take, take the ball fuck the player up a little, so long as you aren’t flying in or two footed if you drop the guy it’s fine. These days you can’t touch a player or he dives and gets the whistle. There is a reason why a mediocre striker today can match the goal scoring if the greats of the past and that has been the case for years. Since the 60’s defenders have been getting reeled in decade after decade and we are now at a point of over correcting an issue that did exist at one time.
      In the 90’s a goal or assist every two games was elite. That’s not to say there weren’t better players because there were, I think Cantona for instance was a player who played that deep-lying forward position better than Bergkamp and the stats follow, but if we have to use Cantona who was a legend to top Bergkamp in that role then Bergkamp was clearly very good. But let’s look at another United player who was elite in his day, Mark Hughes often liked to step off and play around the box instead of in it, his stats are a little worse than Bergkamps stats, he has more highlight reel goals but at the end of the day a Goal is a Goal. You don’t get two points for a rocket. So imo Bergkamp sits somewhere between those two players. Which makes him Elite. Add to that how technical he was and the ease with which he controlled and manipulated the football, he can serve as an example to train towards in that regard. I’m not telling you Bergkamp Is the GOAT, so relax. I’m just telling you that he was an elite player in his prime who played with excellent style and technique. You can’t argue me out of that because I already know I’m right by my standards and by the tests I use to determine the quality of a footballer now and then.
