Centre-half?
The two double winning sides were all GG's. The invincibles had Sol and Keown. Even the 2006 CL final team had Sol (though Senderos got us there alongside Kolo.)
So is Kostafi the best not to have any Georgie Graham input?

You've mis-spelled Kolo there, old chap.Originally Posted by Ganpati's Goonerz--AFC's Aboriginal Fertility Cult
Apart from the stuff about a partnership being judged in more than about four games. But the signs so far are good.
In fairness to them, had we lost the four games, the verdict would almost certainly be in by now

"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

+ one character ffs
We had 3 CHs that season. It was mostly Sol and Kolo but Keown was the 3rd choice.
He played at Untd, remember? He jumped up and down on Horseface.
Thus, we had 2 GG trained CHs in the Invincibles squad. QED.
Kolo made 36 starts. Keown made 3. Your initial point in the OP was about "best Arsenal CB pairings", not how many GG-era players were in that squard.
Eh? The title of the post was "Is this the best Arsenal CB pairing not to contain at least 1 George Graham trained" with the post continuing "Centre-Half"?
The whole point was that all AW's best defences contained at least one GG trained CH.
Do Kostafi have the potential to be the best since then?
FFS.
the Invincibles defence was bascially Sol and Kolo. Keown played a small part and the 3 games he played that season cannot be construed as one of Arsene's best defensive partnerships because it was ONLY THREE GAMES.
and seeing as the Invincibles defence was basically two non-GG trained CHs (Kolo and Sol) your point fails to stand.The whole point was that all AW's best defences contained at least one GG trained CH.
He played the Friday night against Newcastle after that game and then never started another league for us. That was in September. Hard to argue he was an integral part of the team by then. It is also arguable whether he was a George Graham trained centre-half in comparison to Adams and Bould. GG ****ed him out the window as soon as he arrived and when he bought he back he often played him out of position
