To be honest, after hearing the news of Henry’s departure to Barcelona, was he a great captain for Arsenal ? The answer is, no not really.
Loved his goals and the unpredictable, but Viera was a bigger loss for me. Henry hardly played at the end of last season and he was not a great team captain. Too sulky for that.
The difference with these players is, we are all Arsenal until the day we die. The same for supporters of other clubs. So no matter what players like Henry say about supporting Arsenal while wearing a Barcelona shirt, we are the only ones who will support this club forever.
And now it’s time for Edelman and Hill-Wood to start spending big and competing with Man Utd and Chelsea. No more excuses, get the cheque book out. I’m sick of hearing the excuses about the cost of the Emirates etc.

i think henry will not leave arsenal and he is doin all this because hes tired of all the speculations and all the rumours linkin him to other clubs s[ basically i think hes sort of playing with the media and the fans and that by not saying wether hes leaving or not, its this or hes just seeking attention.

Spot on article.

And I agree with you dan. Henry isn’t stupid and he could clear things up quite clearly but he doesn’t want to. No respect for the club that made him who he is, no respect to the manager and no respect to the fans.

Not sure about the Dein theory though. I’ve just got a feeling Henry wants out and trying to engineer a move to Spain!

lost in translation!!! the guy speaks great english and knows what he is saying, stop blaming the journalists, rosicky managed to get point accross without too much problem yesterday!!!! if henry wants to make a point to the boss and the board then there is a way of doing it, quietly, dragging the club through the papers everyday (for the second year in a row) is not on.

Sell him, he´s treating us like shit!

Injury prone, arrogant towards some of his team-mates (b-y sure Reyes loved London, but Henry treated him like shit), got to give him some credit thou he finally realised that RvPs freekicks are better!

It´s f-g sad but he doesn´t care about us, same shit as it was with Vieira every summer, clean the house, he´s over the hill!

Henri is not doing himself any favours with his non-commital response. Maybe it is just the case of being “lost in the translation” HOPEFULLY.
However, AW is the the key to Arsenal’s future. He is now into building his third team and perhaps the very future of the club in building the new stadium. One could appreciate his ambition to create the ARSEANL PROJECT- financially independent and strong. My hope is that he stays for the next ten years, then whoever takes over will inherit a club of winners and financially on equal footing with the likes of MU, Barca , Real. Arsene, please stay- i know you love Arsenal more.

Chill guys… Saying “being flattered” is just being polite and giving respect to the other party. It would be PR-unsavvy if he should say. “get lost man I have enough” I believe his “for now” comments reflect his distrust of the board (hinted by his talk about Dein). It would look bad on him if he says he will forever be an Arsenal player but later shipped or forced out elsewhere. (think Vieira and Dein)

Just a bit harsh guys, your talking about the man who played a big
part in arsenal and what it is today.

Altought he should just come out and say
that hes not going anywere until his three year contract is up.
that would end all this crap once and for all.

Are the papers in love with arsenal these days?
they never stop talking about them….

I grantee that all this will work out henry will stay
we`ll make a couple of signings and then win the trebile!

EVERYBODY CHILL THE FUCK OUT ARSENAL WILL BE BACK!

andy’s got it bang on. TH is just pressuring the board to spend some cash and keep us competitive. He ain’t going anywhere. ask yourselves if he really wanted to go why did he sign the new contract when he could’ve gone then. nothings majorly changed.
