ohmelads Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Who will Arsenal sign to replace him then? There's no way they'll make do with Adebayor and VP, they'll have to sign someone top class. Maybe Villa or Torres? Personally I think Torres is overrated but Villa is quality and could suit Arsenal's play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 p.s. Messi Ronaldinho Etoo and Henry could create the most exciting attacking force ever seen. Will be interesting to see how it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that Arse couldn't afford it, but I don't think that's Wenger's style. Fascinated to see where they turn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazilians thought their world cup squad (Ronaldo, Robinho, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Adriano etc etc) was too good to be true but in the end many believed it was their undoing.

Mowen Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 True. That's why I said could. I really am looking forward to seeing how they play next season. I can pretty much guarantee it won't be dull. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see if Eto'o stays now. His best season (along with Ronaldinho) was undoubtedly 05-06 but Henry is a better player than Eto'o in my view. It'll be difficult to leave either on the bench for a while. With Ronaldinho and Messi pretty much undroppable it only leaves room for one up front.

Decky Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Why do people think Owen will just jump ship? Am I the only one who sees Newcastle more attractive than Arsenal AT THE MOMENT?

Memphis Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Henry interview in L'Equipe... http://lequipe.fr/Football/breves2007/20070623_004734Dev.html Je dois encore passer la visite médicale lundi. Mais oui, j'ai choisi Barcelone. Je vais y signer pour les quatre prochaines saisons (...) pour le football qu'il pratique, son histoire, son stade. Pour Frank Rijkaard avec lequel j'ai grandi... (''I must still pass the medical Monday. Yes, I chose Barcelona. I will sign there for the four next seasons (...) for the football they play, its history, its stage. For Frank Rijkaard who I grew up with...'') Le fait qu'Arsène Wenger ne prolonge pas son contrat...était un autre élément tres important à prendre en considération. ("The fact that Arsène Wenger will not renew his contract...was another element very important to take into account.") Henry says that last bit as if it were stone cold fact. Wenger leaving will hurt Arsenal far more than Henry leaving. And certainly, while the prospect of CL football would appeal to Oba or Owen, the uncertainty of the manager's future will make their potential decision more difficult.

I don't think he's ready and neither does Wenger, a couple of more seasons on the wing for Walcott Wenger has stated, then he'll move in the middle. Is Vela now back from out on loan?

TRon Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Well only Henry's leaving so far, and it's a typical Wenger sale. Get shot of a big star whose peaked for a massive fee. Great business really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 He's already deteriorating fitness-wise and has got two years left in him (as the top class international forward that he currently is). £16m is unturndownable. Still... they've got some serious work to do now like. We should be aiming for fourth now. © O'Nut 2007 If Ashley & Allardyce show some ambition this summer then we should be looking at nicking 4th.

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 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 to from the Emirates Stadium to Barcelona. (Various) This is getting more column inches than Owen or Martins so it is not cut and dried Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not very encouraging talk for any potential new signing. Wonder if it could have a similar effect as Sir Bobby leaving had for us - knowing the gaffer is not stick around must be terribly destabilising for a club. Any prospective signing would think twice, and a lot of the better players might start thinking about their own futures after the coming season. Very different cases obviously, but similarities exist... I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Arsenal board cut their losses and let Wenger leave for Madrid - obviously not ideal for them, but a possibility?
