Re: Henry's gone to Barcelona !!!!!

Still waiting confirmation in uk by arsenal, as reports are from spanish radio, and you know what they are like over there, they think they signed everyone.

Re: Henry's gone to Barcelona !!!!!

he hasn't been playing well, or at all for the last two years, one reason why Arsenal have failed so miserably in the league. Arsenal will not suffer any more than they have done this past two years for the loss of Henry but with a flying Henry next year Arsenal i am certain could have broken all the records so for that reason, as an arsenal, i will be gutted if he goes. I wouldn't mind Ettoo as straight swap though.

Re: Henry's gone to Barcelona !!!!!

Blimey, that's a big loss to the English game

Strikes me that his heart hadn't been in it for a while though.

Re: Henry's gone to Barcelona !!!!!





How does in talks with Arsenal become 'Barca have agreed a fee with Arsenal and personal terms with Henry'?

If it happens, it happens. The Spanish media are the worst you know whats in the world anyway. From football to F1!

Apparently Reuters have released the story not just the Spanish media.

The 29-year-old's agent, Jeff Weston, told BBC Sport: "The SEM Group have no comment to make."

Says it all, IMO.

And as suggested, I bet he did do a pre-deal

Re: Henry's gone to Barcelona !!!!!

I suppose fellow veteran member...

Well fair due's to Wenger for being able to pull it off with replacements (Viera, Bergkamp), but who would replace Henry? I maintain the best striker the prem has seen. Goals? Up there and topped it. Assists? Took him on a different level

Getting my word in before "posts a bloody lot for someone who doesn't like football" comes in

Re: Henry's gone to Barcelona !!!!!

I know that there are a lot of Gooners out there who have been getting impatient and frustrated with Henry recent comments and saying that his heart hasn't been it since he signed the contract last year, and i if i'm honest, you could probably put me in that bracket also.
But if this news is true, which it sounds like it could well be, i'm just gonna wish him all the very best.
The guy is a legend and to have had a player of his quality playing for MY team for the last 8yrs and seeing him do some of the most amazing things ... well, i'm just grateful to have witnessed it.

Farewell Henry, and thank you!

Screw you, I didn't understand half of what you wrote, but to what I did understand; I've been an Arsenal fan all my life, and I'm too used to seeing our best players engineering moves away from the team. Anelka, Vieira and now Henry. He's obviously been desperate to leave for years now, and finally found his excuse when Dein walked out and started bleating about how "devestated" he was. For Christs sake Thierry, if you want to move, just do it, and don't mislead your fans by signing long term contracts you have no intention of honouring.

Oh well, another season of mediocity awaits.

Yep, totally agreed.
I posted as a Villa fan, and I will miss the bloke in our game.

Easily as good as J Cruyff, IMO, who's the best I remember properly (I saw Pele at Villa, but was too young).

I do think he's a bit arrogant, but to call him disloyal, well that's rubbish, IMO (I'm referrering to later posts).

What money on Wenger leaving when his contract is up?

I think pushing Dein out will prove costly.

Re: Henry's gone to Barcelona !!!!!

He if does sign, then as a liverpool fan, i would wish him all the best, he has been a legend in premership, absolute joy to watch. Liverpool fans have time for Henry for all the good things he thinks about LFC, but i thikda think he will say when at Barca, how he thinks they have the best fans in the world.
we can still watch him on spanish football on sky.

He's heart is somewhere else now, yes arsenal fans will be down, but you have so much talent at the club, your biggest impact to the team will be if Arsene also leaves, that would kill the style of football played, without Henry you can come back. Players like walcott who needs regular football may get his chance.

Which suggests he'd played his face for a fair while, IMO.
My guess is he'd practically said "let me go or I ain't playing".

As for another season of mediocrity, you're top 4 mate.
You can't win it all, all the time.

And would you even want to?

I'm sure I'll find some perspective eventually. I just feel so upset right now.

I'll have to take down my signed, framed Limited Edition Henry print. And my Henry canvas. And my Henry posters.

Re: Henry's gone to Barcelona !!!!!

I think this could be a blessing in disguise for Arsenal. With Henry playing in the team it was almost like he played where he wanted to (inside left). A bit like Ronaldinho for Barcelona.

I think that a fit Van Persie will be fantastic next season and I wouldn't be surprised if Ryan Babel joined you guys soon.

Some supporters just take it too far!

Perhaps if Arsenal had better players, Henry wouldn't need to move on.
