Thierry Henry, should Arsenal sell him?

Question

Im a Crystal Palace fan, so i am completely neutral and i have enjoyed watching Henry since he has come to the premiership. I know that he has been injured alot this season and that he says his heart is at Arsenal but i think he has lost his Hunger. Do you think he should leave and who would you like to see replace him? Its definately not gonna be Baptista or walcott as they dont measure up.

Answer 1

As an Arsenal fan it has crossed my mind about selling him this season but as most of it he has been injured then i would see what he was like next season and judge him then.... As for Baptista, he just isn't good enough and walcott has potential but is still not in Henry's class. To replace him is a hard choice, eto comes to mind but he sounds like a little kid as he seems to chuck his toys out of the pram a lot..... Good question by the way... you get a star lol

Answer 2

Well, I'm not an Arsenal fan, but my bro certainly is!
He definitely wants Henry to stay as this guy has contributed to Arsenal's numerous wins during all these seasons.
He was injured a lot this season and was out of the pitch for several months, but both my bro and I think that we should give him a chance to prove what he's worth next season. Selling Henry now will surely cause Arsenal's loss and right now, the Gunners do not have players who can replace Henry. Don't mention Baptista and Walcott, they're just BABIES!

Answer 3

If I were in charge (which I'm not) I'd have sold him before the start of this season. With offers of £20 to £25 million realistically on the table for a striker who is what.. 29 years old.... and who has given Arsenal magnificient service for many previous seasons... and who cost what.... £12 million (or was it £14 million) from Juve (I think Juve)....... made absolute business sense.

Nothing better than buying something... having great value from it for a good number of years, and then selling it whilst still in good perfect working order... but less useful lifespan in it... for a big whack of a profit.

They could have done that... banked say £10 million for money shared towards stadium, debt, investment, academy players, perhaps thrown a few £10Ks at local schoolboy football clubs.... and still had £15 million dry powder to be ready to try and get the next Henry. That said... I think they were wise with their profits from Anelka... didn't they use the profits to fully pay completely for their new training ground and facilities. Anyway.. yes.... he should have been sold... he's great but it was a perfect time to sell him.

Answer 4

Anytime a player becomes the talisman of the team he should be shipped out ASAP. Henry should have been gone at the end of last year. He's been an awesome presence, and I have enjoyed his performances when he's been on song, but it's time to let him go. I want Pool to sell Gerrard too, make room for a couple of pacier options, not taking anything away from his contribution down through the years, but after this year Pool should find a replacement for him. And Ferguson should put Rooney in center midfield, he can't score to save his life from the striker position, and is so versatile in his movements that the midfield would suit him perfectly.

Answer 5

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Please not! He may have lost his hunger (even I, Miss SOINDENIALABOUTMYDARLINGHENRI have to admit that) but I think it's more that he's dead bored, and missing his mates -he's like the only GOD on that field, and I can't even begin to imagine the amount of pressure he must get from having all our young'uns looking up at him as Mr. Perfect, Mr. Makeitallalright. AND there's been my loved one Wenga on the sidelines getting stressed and depending on him...

If we lose him, however, these young'uns are REALLY going to lose the confidence that they've been building within themselves and with each other. We still need him for comfort and direction. Give us 2 seasons and we'll SO be BACK, the Chelseaanimals and ManlUsers will be peeing in their pants at the thought of facing us!

Answer 6

Defintely i agree with you. Henry has lost his passion this season. However i feel that arsenal will never sell him coz they still need him in the club. They need him to lead the youngster to a new Gunners reign.

Answer 7

I think hes past it but last year he was the best player in the world, so mabye he will be better next season, as for walcott give the boy a chance in 3 years time he will be an england starter

Answer 8

yeah i also think arsenal should sell henry. he's suffering continious injuries. bsides he hasn't played very well this season. so i think it'll b better 2 sell him. but u c he has been the main player of arsenal since he came. he likes playing 4 arsenal i think. the fans as well as the manager wenger like him very much i guess. but still it's the fact that he's losing his game. so.................

but any replacement of henry? i dont think thats possible very early unless they buy some1 good like him. walcott/baptista cant as u said too. it has 2 b some1 new. or......... wat about van persie? he's good i think. but not sure if he can replace henry! ;)

Answer 9

Yes he's pushing 30 now if Arsenal can get 25-30,000,000 for him do it.

Answer 10

big UNITED fan, but if henry was to go on the market, ferguson should break the bank for him, he's one of the true world class players around.

in my mind wenger should go back to what he stated doing, build the team around henry, and hey chas and you other arsenal fans, its my opinion, but go ahead thumbs down me for it, CHILDREN.
