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. To be honest, after hearing the news of Henry’s departure to Barcelona, was he a great captain for Arsenal ?

One pro henry to leave & one anti. I am definitely in the Pro camp. I see this as a 12 month plan that Arsene has been working on. I genuinely think he realised that TH was never going to been that same as before, so planned to get him fit enough to sell. I also think Arsene knows that if & when The yank takes us over, David Dein will be back and Arsenes path to directorship will be clear. It will also comit him to staying until retirement. If Im correct, then expect the other side of his plan to start happening very soon with the capture of 3/4 top quality players to add to our wonder kids. If Arsene's negotiations have gone as well as I think they may have recently in Spain & France, (Hence the agreement to sell Henry) we may some big reasons to celebrate soon. IFFFFF...owen is 100% then he would be worth a gamble as he is still very young and has that nose for space & striking that all our current squad lack. Anelka is proven but if Dein is to return, Nick wont be welcome. So Babel, Huntellar & Curis Davies would be a great investment. So bye Titi and thanks. We will wave to you on the way to the double next year ie; the League & Champions Cup. Finally to all those Spuds/Chelski/Manure fans who have been celebrating the news, I say.......JUST REMEMBER WHAT WE DID TO YOU ALL WITHOUT HENRY LAST YEAR !

Thank you for the fantastic memories. That said, last season he showed the kinda form that got Viera and Pires sold. Coping with half the season without Henry probably convinced Wenger that it's time to move on without him, just like Pires the season before and Viera two seasons before. To me, it's not as though we "lost" Henry to Barca - fact is, Wenger sold him (or at least allowed him to leave). He's ice cold ruthless in that way. Personally, I don't think Wenger will jump ship at the end of the next season - he's on the verge of a whole new generation of players, and he may be thinking of seeing this next batch through before retiring from football.

Just wait. Be ready to wipe out those tears you now have. We have the weapons to deliver. Let us all be behind our team. Come on Van persie!!!!!, show us what you got.

I got the feeling that the ridiculous points dropped during the season were down to inhibitions of the younger lads to show what they are capable of. Henry I dont think helped he's a whinger and not exactly a role model to look up to in my opinion arrogant when he's good but when things were'nt going his way quick to blame others, at least silva or probably toure can now officially captain the team and get a proper dressing room feeling back u might see the best out of players like RvP, Walcott Rosicky etc but defo a decent signing or 2 to show this intent!!

Va Va Voomed to Barca, Aresehole Whingebag sure to follow out of the Emigrants. You really must be the biggest selling club around. Henry, Cole, Campbell, Viera, Petit, Overmars with Fabregas, Rosicky and Toure to follow. Gallas must be wondering what he got himself into. Pride of North London? COME ON YE SPURS!!!!!!!!!
