but most of Arsenal's good attacking players are tall and big, i.e: Dennis Bergkamp, Van Persie, Henry, Pires
non arsenal tall great forward-van nistelrooy, forlan, drogba, torres...
although we can also see good small/short forward but its less likely if to compare with big and tall ones...
we can normally see those short but good attackers in Barcelona, a squad full of midgets.
messi-169cm
dani alves- 171cm
bojan-170cm
villa- 175cm
iniesta-170cm
Xavier Hernández -170cm
pedro-169cm
btw....why is henry in barcelona legend list??? is he that good in barcelona???

Actually in modern football, we need different types of players in different positions.
Normally in the center positions, there are 2 players such as ST, CM, CD. With the football revolution, it is better to have both pacey and strong players.

For flank-players such as fullbacks and wingers, pace is always the priority thus we always see shorter players.
Back to Arsenal, for center positions: ST (3 positions), CM (3 positions?), CD:
ST: RvP (short?), Bendtner (strong), Arshavin (short!)
CM: Fabregas (short), Diaby (strong), Song (strong)
CD: Verminator (short, but strong), Koscielny (1.86 m, strong?)

As for Henry to be in Barca Legend list, I'm sure many Barca fans do not agree with it

I really don't know but one thing I'm sure, Henry has "more" Arsenal DNA than the Barca's
