Bergkamp is probably Arsenal's most technically accomplished player of all time. With beautiful control and delicacy of touch, calmness under pressure and an eye for the spectacular, Bergkamp lit up Highbury in the early days of Wenger's reign, providing goals first for Ian Wright and later for Thierry Henry. He was a forward in the tradition of the Netherlands: skillful but not brutal. He rarely won much in the air, flattened anyone or got stuck in defending. However, as a forward, he was majestic on his day.
For: Great footballing forward
Against: Not a physical or ariel threat, lacked a yard of pace
