Thierry Henry is back

jonneymendoza · 6 Jan 2012 at 15:57

Good move? i reckon so as a 34 year old Henry is still far better then chamack, ashavin or gevinho

Maybe if it was longer than 2 months.

Shamikebab · 6 Jan 2012 at 16:52

Something wrong with the transfer thread?

cheets64 · 6 Jan 2012 at 17:00

Going backwards if you ask me.

I don't think he should have come back but I think these MLS loans are part of a wider push to promote football/soccer (both MLS & EPL) in the US, as well as the players going to play in the MLS to begin with.

Think his come back will be good for the team as with ACoN there will be some shortage, but i also think it will be an upset to the fans no matter what:
Scenario 1 - Henry comes, plays 4 stellar games and goes - Result: Arsenal fans heartbroken
Scenario 2 - Henry comes plays 4 games but is nowhere near the quality fans remember him - Result: Arsenal fans heartbroken as they saw a legend sinking in the dust.

Erm i really doubt Scenario 2 is close to being true

The first part or the second?

Tunney · 6 Jan 2012 at 18:07

Judging by his goals-to-games ratio, Landon Donovan would be a smarter loan signing.

The second, he could easily come back and be awful

haha. I'm not an Arsenal fan, but in any club if i saw my legend coming back and playing on a level far worse than i remember him, i would be miffed to say the least.

Well if he plays on Monday I predict a hat trick

Weebull · 6 Jan 2012 at 20:14

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH ****ING YES HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

Weebull · 6 Jan 2012 at 20:17

I don't care if he passes every ball to the opposition and stinks up the place, the best player the Premiership has ever seen has come home and I have a ticket to the Man Utd game and if there's even a slight chance he might come on then I will actually get to see our record goalscorer and all-round epitome of ****ing awesome in the flesh. :cool:

**** your logic, this is what football is all about.

Yas786 · 6 Jan 2012 at 21:03

Yayyy Henry is back!!!!

Weebull · 6 Jan 2012 at 22:47

Come on then, best goal?

Andybtsn · 6 Jan 2012 at 23:10

I like no 3 as it had me in stitches that dragon mascot running behind the goal when he scores...I just remember MOTD and ****ing myself over it...

You had to be there

Weebull · 6 Jan 2012 at 23:13

Dragon?!

I'm half-tempted to switch my vote to the Bernabeu goal. Because I can still remember exactly how stupidly good it felt when he did it.

Andybtsn · 6 Jan 2012 at 23:14

Whatever the **** it is...what is it?

Yeah, I remember watching that goal.

That one vs Man U never impressed me, no idea why, I always preferred the other one he scored against them, 30 yarder, smashed it with hardly and back lift.
