And take Arsenal with him :)

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

More news that the Arsenel blip of being taken seriously as a major force is over.

How refreshing :)

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

it's been reported in the press Wenger will see out his contract and then go when that ends at the end of this season. Maybe he has already got something lined up at another club like Barca and is letting him go there a year early.

If this rumour is true I can't believe it as without him Arsenal are nothing, sure he was out a lot this season but when he was there he saved them in a few games.

It's fact now

This transfer sums up all that is wrong with football, £16 000 000 buys you Thierry Henry or Darren Bent :td:

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

But surely you can see the comedy value in watching Arsenal crumble?

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

Tbh it's all the same to me, if they win things or fail miserably, I don't care to much, the only person at that club I like and have any respect for is Wenger, I'd love it if he saw his contract out and moved to East London

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

its a shame cuz Henry is probably 1 of the best players (foreign) to grace the Premier League :)

dont know what Arsenal are going to do to replace him but it has to be something really good, otherwise more and more will follow for sure.

and yes 16m for Henry I find that a bit "cheap" really considering that a player like Shrek (oops I ment Rooney) who is not as good as Henry sells for 26m.

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

Seem's like the papers have a good idea :(

Arsene Wenger will attempt to recruit Carlos Tevez from West Ham or bring back Nicolas Anelka in the wake of striker Thierry Henry's expected departure from the Emirates Stadium to Barcelona. (Various)

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

26m pays for Rooney's future too. Had Henry been considered the same talent as Rooney at that age then I'm sure he would have rated at a similar amount.

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

Yep it took a manager of Wengers class to recognise that he could be turned from a run of the mill winger into one of the planets best, a World and European champion, get seven years superb service and make £6 000 000 profit on him

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

SAF is doing exactly the same with Ronaldo.

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

Is he? Ronaldo has always been rated as a top prospect, unlike Henry, the two histories aren't comparable

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

Unlike Henry? So why did Wenger buy him?? No-one had heard of Ronaldo before SAF bought him. I'd say Henry and Ronaldo's situations are very comparable.

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

You mean you hadn't heard of him, Gerrard Houlier wanted to sign him for Liverpool before he went to Utd for instance, when you say comparable do you mean like a Champions League final and winning the League cup? Because it looked like Henry was on the scrapheap aged 22 Where as Ronaldo was a top prospect
