Henry Signed For Barca

[Kenneth]

Insane comment IMO. Just because Henyr is 30 it doesn't mean he still can't perform at a world class level. Henry has showed absolutely NO SIGNS of faltering.

I think he has. It's irrelevant as he'd never join another English team, but we can do better than Henry this window imo.

Lets all laugh at....

Remember when we heard Stevie had signed for Chelsea but then did a
U Turn.

Not much hope of that happening here.

****!!!

I actually feel sorry for them..

[Kenneth]

i would think he would get more than any of our current strikeforce.

Probably, but then maybe so would Bent, Huntlaar, Torres, Beni McCarthy, or Berbatov. We need a big player for the long term and I'd rather add youth.

[AFII]

Barca would need four very good defenders that's defending specialists if that will work.

They can't afford to have to attacking defenders because that would leave them very open at the back.

fair enough, not sure myself on bent but would not mind seeing the others in red, i would also add tevez to that list...I do think Henry will get a hatful in La Liga all the same

Peekay is in the Voronin fan club, so it's definitely a case of great minds.

I remember him disappearing past Carra to score against us last season.


They timed it on TV, and he got from the byline to the point where he felt the back of our net on his face in approximately no seconds. He's older, maybe more injury prone, but he's hardly on the wane in a significant way yet.

[matycowling1007]

For me he is by FAR the best striker in the world.

[Tee]

Never mind - he is just an old has been - let him fade away at Barca....

Johnny H called the transfer fee pretty spot on and if I'm not mistaken Elisha Scott on YNWA is vaguely insinuating that there may have been intersest on TH's part

[FatTony]

So that's Darren Bent, with a good scoring record at 23, no injury problems and blistering pace, and Thierry Henry, 29 and a patchy injury record who's shown signs of losing his pace. Both players rely on pace and one is losing his. I'd say 16 million is anything but cheap for a player in decline, pushing 30and who'll think he's bigger than the club.

Do you follow premiership football?

Henry has anything but a patchy injury record. He's one of th greatest players to grace the league and has a good 3 years + left.

Bent, like Phillips and Sutton, a medicore player with one or two good seasons behind him will fade away prematurely.

If you think Henry is the lesser option at £16M, than you know jack ****. Differences of opinions are justified with players of similar ability, but to claim that Bent is the better option is complete stupidity. Congratulations. In 12 or 13 years on the internet I've refrained from calling someone stupid until today.

thats right he said he was almost certain to leave for that amount of money to us or barca. did he say anything about wenger leaving?

That's a bit harsh mate. For a start I haven't actually said I'd prefer Bent, just that we can do better than Henry if we're splashing the cash. I replied to the suggestion that the price similarity was ridiculous.

Henry played 27 games last season. Granted, he scored 12 but I don't think he'd necessarily reproduce what he does for Arsenal as effectively for us, and I just think we should be getting a top draw young player for more than a couple of years. Just an opinion. It's not as if I called Charlie a n****r or something.
