i dont think huntelaar is premiership class.i saw him when englad played the dutch and he really didn't do much. he will struggle with the intensity and physical nature of the premiership. i would love to hve anelka back. he is strong,quick,powerful,lethal right foot and clinical as he shoe against us last season but you must think to yourself wll wenger ever re-sign a player he let go and the answer is no. wenger sold anelka for a reason and i dont think wenger will sign him unless bolton would accept a bid of less than 7million which wont happen. i woudlnt mind seeing babel but every1 forgets he is still very very young and has to mature a lot and if we sign him it only pushes theo and bendtner down the pecking order. theo is just like babel except babel is just stronger and taller but theo has age on his side. i hate trez and i think its safe to say he wont come. he did fuk all against us 2years ago. i cant remember him touching the ball and doing something productive with it, thats probably the easiest game senderos ever played for us and same happened at the worldcup he did fuk all there too i would hate it if we signed him. i would love to see malouda at arsenal hes fast hes direct and he offers u natural width which i guess none of our midfielders offer us but you d wonder if arsene would be willing to pay 15million for someone.

Cake I see your direct and to the point as usual fella. Whereby I understand some peoples reluctance to accept Anelka into the fold, I would readily take him back. He is the closest there is to Henry and I am sure I remember Wenger saying last season Anelka was the better more natural finisher. Henry is however the better provider of assists.
Jon you certainly hit the biggest most important point in this media fuelled transfer sideshow, and that is Henry left because wenger allowed him to, for the benefit of Arsenal, not Henry. And I agree it is underpinned by that arguement / falling out they had.
I believe we will see a minimum of 4 coming in, not necessarily super super stars. This week will be interesting.

Let Wenger continue to build our club and remember that disappointments only sweeten victory.

Depressing news. I didn't think he would leave but I'm not going to jump on the Henry hater bandwagon. We should be grateful that we had the world's best player on our books for 8 years.
New Players: If you lose a player like Henry, you need to bring in 2 replacements. Malouda would be good, as a wnger not striker. Anelka: maybe. Still v.good but no Henry , but who is? Babel - as a long-term buy, sure. Don't know Huntelaar - never seen him play. Ribery, but he's gone to Bayern for 17m - not sure he would have been worth it for that money. Otherwise, there are not too many players of the required class available. We should get close to 10m for Reyes as well. So we need to bring in 3 new players for the loss of Henry and Reyes. Curtis Davies anyone? Left-footed, so would be good cover for both centre-half and left full.

Has anyone considered the possibility that good 'ole Thierry has been biding his time for the past year? Waiting until he was fully fit before signing for Barca? His wages have been paid while he has been receiving the best possible medical treatment and now Barcelona will be getting a fully fit Henry! What do we get? Anelka, probably. Babel possibly. At the end of the day and we've heard it all before, No Player Is Bigger Than The Team! I supported Arsenal long before we signed our first Frenchman! I'll keep on supporting them long after the last Frenchman leaves!! (Will David O'leary be available after Arsene goes?)

im quite excited bout whats guna happen in transfers this summer, what about adriano, hes simalar to henry in pysique, powerful n pretty quick and 25. so he has experience, but hed maybe cost somethin like GBP25m. i think we need more width as freddie has just lost that edge over the last season. i think babel would be a gd signing. im not sure bout anelka coming bk tho, but u never know. he seems to have matured as his carrer has gone on. i wish henry all the luck in the world. he has been great for us. im not taking that away from, we were lucky to have him for as long as we did.

Thanks Elliot240 - I keep saying it for a year now: get Adriano, he would fit the Arsenal like a glove and could come a bit cheaper than 25 mil (not much though). But even if it was 25 mil it would be money well spent. It's not goin' to happen ....
I don't want Anelka back for nothing in the world and I'm 100% with Cake on this. 'nough said.
As jppmurray wrote - Malouda would be good (I'd say 'excellent') for us and of course as a winger (the striker idea sounds odd to me).
As it stands now I see no reason for panic: lots of class players are available and many of them would be willing to play for the Arsenal. The club should by all means look for talks on Robinho, just to keep the option open as his contract with Real expires and he would be willing to join the Arsenal as well.
A last word on Henry: he's a statistic now so let's fast get over it. I always said that he's a mercenary like 99% of the footballers today are - but to be honest: would the clubs and the sponsors and the media shove money up my a... like they do I would be just the same sl...!
And finally let me repeat this: SELL Fabregas and invest the money on those players we badly need!!!!

Damn, we miss him .... don't we!

I was fed up with the same scenario with Henry that we suffered with Vieira every close season. When a player starts thinking he is bigger than the club, it is time for him to be moved on. We saw it with Vieira who strolled around the pitch during his last season at Arsenal. I think he was genuinely shocked when Wenger let him go and his double bluff didn't work. And like all the others such as Overmars, Petit etc have found out too late that they should have valued life at Arsenal a lot more.
I think Henry has lost that extra pace that took him into so many goal-scoring positions and is becoming injury prone. I believe he would have begun to struggle if he stayed in the Premiership. Fans liked to think he would still turn on the magic, but look at the sad sight of Freddie Llunjberg these days - no more the 15-20 goal provider from midfield. You could see in Henry's demeanour last season, that when he wasn't ghosting past defenders like he used to do, that he was becoming miserable. His attitude to the younger players was terrible as the Captain and Gilberto Silva did a much better job (I hope he gets made Captain permanently now). Sadly it was time to cash in while Henry still had a considerable value, but Wenger must get a quality replacement.
I would be quite happy for Anelka to return; he seems much more mature now. Did anyone see the marvellous goal he scored for France against Ukraine recently ( http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x25mub_but-anelka-france-ukraine ) much better than anything Henry has done over the last year. I do not think it is time for doom and gloom. If Wenger stays and our youngsters develop further we could be seeing the start of a new golden era. Just think if last season Anelka had been in the penalty area when all those chances created by our fantastic passing went begging. I am sure we would have won something, perhaps even been Champions.

SURABAYA - "Henry: he's a statistic now". Thats correct he is a statistic, 226 goals from 364 games and the all time leading Arsenal goalscorer. He is an Arsenal legend and without him the club would not have enjoyed its recent success. You then go on to suggest Wenger should sell Fabregas, one of the most talented young players in the world. Why????? You clearly know nothing about football and with fans like you who needs Spurs.

Henry has decided the time is right for him to leave. Having done what he has done for this club I feel its wrong to slate the guy. I am as heart broken as anyone else but we ust look to the future and wish our greatest ever player well with the remaining part of his career...
If only the board had not fought this U.S. takeover... All other clubs are doing it. That tells me that we must follow suit. In an ideal world we would remain English owned, but due to a whole host of other english clubs being bought out by billionaires i feel it is only sensible to go down the same path. If only we hadny disagreed with Mr Dein... we would still have him alongside a happy Wenger, and Henry rested & fresh for the coming season... instead, we have instability throughout, an unhappy Wenger and arguably THE greatest player on the planet packing his bags & jetting off to Barcelona! Fabregas next? How can we attract big BIG names with all of this going on?!? Peter Hillwood & co. Take notice. I feel that the correct decision in the interest of the club would have been to go with the takeover thus keeping David Dein, Henry & ultimately Wenger whilst also having more chance of attracting more top talent...

I would like to hear anyones opinion based on my comments...

msugden@bmifa.co.uk

ALL THE BEST THIERRY HENRY. I DO NOT BLAME YOU FOR YOUR DECISION - I SALUTE YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE HELPED THIS CLUB ACHIEVE & THE ENTERTAINMENT YOU PROVIDED FOR ALL FOOTBALL LOVERS... X

My dear Rosti - Henry is the leading scorer up to this point in history. Records are made to be broken and at some point someone will. You seem to favor strikers because their success is so easily countable. I don't give a shit on big names - or names at all for that matter. Henry was here, it was great and now he's gone. RIP. I don't care if Dein comes back or not, I don't care if Wenger goes next year or not. Because all those guys - Henry, Dein, Wenger - have one thing in common: they are not irreplacable. But you obviously think they invented football.
Guys like you repeat what they hear in the media as if you were parrots. Your thinking is limited by 'Top 10' lists of all sort. Enjoy your brainwashed existance but be more careful in judging people over their understanding of the game - you may make of fool of yourself.

Damn, we miss him .... don't we!

I am no longer questionning your understanding of the game, but your mental state. You want to sell Fagregas and you don't care if Wenger leaves nest season. Do you think Adriano would break Henry's record then??

i think theo will be huge this season, he has it all at his feet. pace, skill and a eye for goal. for me we must sign babel he would be fantastic to our team. on left wing cutting. rvp will be our number 1 this season. we still need a class striker to come in, torres maybe?!?! huntelaar?!?!? not anelka, not bent, not owen or martins, and not johnson!! we still need a strong midfielder in my eyes, i think we will se 3 or 4 players come in now. lets hope anyway
