Hey! I live in hope.
...hope is a good thing...much like Arsenal fans living in hope that Fabregas doesnt leave us this season...
For the love of god change the bloody record or **** off and support Bitter FC or something. If he comes out and says that he will want to offload Berbatov then straight away it does two things.
Drives any potential transfer fee down as opposing teams know you publicly want rid.
If no transfer materialises then he has burnt his bridges with him even before the season starts.
Now I am not suggesting we keep Berbatov or anything like that but look at the bigger picture instead of the usual Anti- Fergie BS you come out with all the time. Or do you actually think there is some benefit in a manager publicly slating a player 2 years into a 4 year contract.
Not sure who I find more annoying him, or DM. Once Berbatov starts finding the net he'll be in all of the fans good books, tbh.
Well what would you know about world class players...your team hasnt got any
Oi, less of that Spawny!
You're only World Class player is going to Barca
Mark Beevers will be World Class one day
I tell thee!
15m + Henry, that would be daylight robbery
10m + Henry then?

My heart says Henry back at Arsenal would be awesome. My head says it's a bad idea. It won't happen though, he's too smart to agree to such a potentially disastrous deal. If he comes back and doesn't score goals, he's tarnished his legacy in English football...

Good deal for him, absolutely great player with shedloads of potential, as with so many others, doesn't get the chance to play and doesn't get the chance to get some form, even so he looks better than pretty much every other youth player we have bar Wilshire, its clear Wenger isn't going to give him his chance. Merida given a few games to get to form would wipe the floor with Theo, has some pace and some real ability to go around players, he's an actual winger though so that ruined his chances. way better to buy another striker or central player and play them on the wings.
its funny that theres Gooners saying they'd love Henry but whats the point, we have plenty and only play one striker, when I say that about Chamakh...... he's free why not, we need another striker. He'll ride the bench where as Henry could easily actually play week in week out on the left wing in the same role he played for Barca as they won, everything.
He was superb last season, he's not worse this season, he wasn't Spanish this season. Lots of quality players at Barca being dropped for FAR worse players because they aren't Spanish.
I'd take Henry over Chamakh(yes I know too late) any day of the week. Someone on £75k a week who'd play every week on the left and be world class and with a point to prove still(he still wants to win the CL with Arsenal) or £50k a week for Chamakh to ride the bench behind RVP, whose unproven and only scored a few in one of the weakest leagues around..... how good has Benzema been this year.
EDIT:- Thats ignoring the fact of course that Henry left because Arsenal couldn't win anything, with a FAR better team and with Fabregas, not sure what would make him think, hmm, Arsenal, about 60% worse without Fabregas, not won anything in 5 years with Fabregas............. nope.
Losing Fabregas, when most of the world knows just how good he is, sends a huge message that Arsenal won't be the same team, they won't be close to as good, so we need another few less well known fantastic players to join as they haven't hit their best yet and come good at Arsenal. Chamakh is the kind of player we can sign, with more money than anyone else in the world right now we couldn't sign a Villa, or Torres, or Yaya Toure, or Lucio, and probably Buffon(keepers can shine anywhere really). 4 years ago we could have gotten them, we were competitive with loads of potential 5 years later we're the same team thats proven they don't have it.
If Hleb makes up ANY part of the deal where we lose Fabregas......... he's a sign of Wengers incompetance, truly useless player, can't get a game for a great team looking to win things, was crap in a much worse team, didn't shine for us, was completely useless with an embarassing goals/assists tally for someone who got so many games, embarassing for someone who got 1/4 of the games he did.

He's not young in footballing terms, he is 26, and his goal scoring record isnt impressive.
His league form is particularly bland, his best total being a whole 13 goals in 34 apps, his average is worse than a goal every 4 games in the league.
I cant see what he offers over Bender to be honest.
Nope, that was in the news papers in january time where he was angling for a new contract as he only had a year left to run.

I think Fabiano and Luis Suarez are the most I've heard mentioned this summer, sure the latter would be too much though.
I really do wish we sign Suarez, the amount of goals he scored in the league this season is crazy. Would surely be cheaper then Aguero/Benzema as well. And apparantly he said if he leaves it will only be for Man Utd, a bit like Fabregas talking about Barca

You can count the amount of strikers that have excelled in the Dutch league and continued their scoring success in the Premiership on one hand. No doubt his record is impressive but we've seen it all before.
If he does a RvN then no complaints here ;p
