Matt CandelaHOST
Yeah.
Matt CandelaHOST
I always thought Robin and Overmars were really exciting to watch in that same way.
Matt CandelaHOST
They both had that...
Matt CandelaHOST
Neither of them actually
JordanGUEST
The pace.
JordanGUEST
I remember, I think Overmars put a ball through for him.
Ade OladipoHOST
It might have been Newcastle in the cup.
Ade OladipoHOST
Crazy.
LippyHOST
But the idea is to get this ball as close to the net as possible, as quickly as possible.
MajesticGUEST
Overmars was the first proper like inverted winger when he'd come into Arsenal.
MajesticGUEST
And Ginola was good at that as well.
MargsPANELIST
I was going to say, don't you think more wingers now could play as wingers back then, then the wingers back then could play in the system.
Luke OddieHOST
Wow.
Luke OddieHOST
We've got Elianusi, we've got Van Bronckhorst, and we've got Overmars.
Roberto BoniHOST
It's got to be Overmars.
Luke OddieHOST
But how many did he actually get?
Roberto BoniHOST
Not loads.
FreddieHOST
And I can see why you would want more Max Delman types.
FreddieHOST
You'd love the sort of Mark Overmars on the left wing.
FreddieHOST
You'd love to see that sort of explosive pace and power to get beyond a line and create havoc.
FreddieHOST
The problem we have is the level of pace in the Premier League has actually increased.
JoshHOST
And to be able to do what he did season in, season out with the team he had around him, I think pushes him to the second best midfielder of all time on my list.
DanHOST
that Dan? Vieira's higher on my list than the other lads because again like he was a central figure in that Arsenal team but like around that period it was not just the Invincibles it was him and I think Enelka and Overmars were central when Wenger first came in to take an Arsenal from kind of just basically like dossing about those like European places to actually winning a title Bergkamp came in and was one at that point as well but Through that, through to the Invincibles, which was the peak of that team, he was absolutely immense.
DanHOST
And similar, that France team was the best team in the world at that point as well.
DanHOST
That won the World Cup, that won the European Championships.
Dominic HothamGUEST
So if you think about, you had, as we talked about, the Wright versus Smicer incident.
Dominic HothamGUEST
You had the Overmars goal at Old Trafford-
Andrew ManganHOST
Mm-hmm
Dominic HothamGUEST
... and the Barry first face, which became, uh, literally a Premier League iconic.
AdamHOST
That is Arsène Wenger obviously talking, uh, at the end or, well, in the summer of '98.
AdamHOST
Arsenal have just won the double and are pursuing a, uh, what would at the time have been a big money move for Patrick Kluivert, the highly talented Dutch striker, to join, uh, Bergkamp and Overmars at Highbury.
AdamHOST
Um, now, in the end, there was a £10,000 difference in wages that neither party was willing to move for.
AdamHOST
Um, but had they done so, um, I think things would look very different.
David PleatGUEST
The very good French players.
David PleatGUEST
Overmars, Petit, Petit, uh, Vieira, uh, Anelka.
David PleatGUEST
Uh, they were the players that set Arsenal on their way.
David PleatGUEST
Three or four very, very good signings at very good prices, because he knew the foreign market very well, and that was the secret of Wenger's success, ultimate success.
Neil BarnettHOST
it was a very, very good partnership of him and Bergkamp and left winger.
Martin TylerHOST
Overmars.
Neil BarnettHOST
No, Frenchman.
Neil BarnettHOST
Wilter? Perez? Perez, yeah.
