Arsenal: if you’re squeamish, don’t look

Man, how’s this for a smiling mug? Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry was unveiled to the press today as well as a horde of supporters at the Camp Nou in Barcelona. Would any other player generate that many people for 16m, a ridiculous price?

It looks so strange to see Henry in a different kit. Henry passed his medical today and signed a four-year contract.

The 29 year old won two Premiership titles and three FA Cups with Arsenal and came a hair from a Champions League medal, losing to Barcelona. In addition he was an integral part of the Gunners 49 game unbeaten run and scored a host of amazing goals.

Henry leaves Arsenal as their all time top scorer. It will be hard getting used to him in Catalan colors, so used to his Arsenal strip we have all become.
He also leaves with the club in a bit of tumult with departures and takeover talk poised to disrup the wonderful flowing football on display at The Emirates.

  1. The Barca kit just doesn't look good on him. Man I miss him already, what a great player we had and we had him in his prime.

  4. Marc Overmars all over again.

    No more northern away game absences and a chance to see the Rooney effect occur, like at Everton, when the other players, played to their strengths, not 2nd fiddle.

    Good Player, but past his prime as proved by last season and the World Cup Final/Champions League Final....all those chances to win, and score in a major final......

  5. nah goonerexes says:"with disbelief in our eyes,sadness in our hearts we say "thank you Thierry".Choking on tears we babble "you will always be a part of us".BUT with defiance in our minds and rage in our hearts we thunder"NEVER DISCOUNT THE MIGHTY ARSENAL!!!!!!!!!!".with laughter in our souls we chuckle "the scums think it is the end of us yet 2-0 up at home on our kids and they couldn't muster the courage to finish us"..........watch this space.

  6. 'once your a gunner your a gunner for life, arsenal will always be in my heart' henrys last words to arsenal tv

    'now when can i get my hands on that goddam barcelona shirt'

    Henry has a huge ego it pains me to see him professing his new found love for barcelona fact is he wanted to leave after last seasons champions league. He has no humililty and an ego to match so were better off without him all he did was disrupt the team and proove a bad influence last season anyway. Henry only cares about henry he never truely cared about arsenal.

  8. I am falabergasted.
    I have read so mucth lei's and trash over the past week that i just dont no what is going on to honest.
    David dien leave's Theirry "judas" Henry is linked to barcelona Thierry Henry's agenrt come's out right away and say's Quote...

    "There is absolutely no question that thierry henry will be a arsenal player next season"

    "These rumours from spain are totally false"

    Two day's after the above Thierry Henry is paraded before the barcelona faithfull at the camp nou haveing being sold for £16 Million pound's Lmfao.!

    Arsenal wenger must be at him witt's end and i for one feel a little sorry for him.
    Being a member of the G14 he shouldnt have to put up with this season after season,now it is not the fact that henry left for barcelona you no if he wanted to leave what can any body do but he could have at least got arsenal fc a club that made him what he is today the money to replace him.
    We have two month's or so in preson to buy player's so why on earth he left right away is a mystery we could have invited pretty mutch every big team in the world to bid for him and still sold him to bacelona but for a hell of alot more than £16 fuckin million pouind's.
    He know's full well that arsenal have got there self into massive! debt with the move to the emrite's stadium and to leave in the manner he did was a big slap in the face "Unbileiveable.
    Just who we are going to buy with 16 million is any body's guess it is allmost laughable we couldnt even go for darren bent of charlton "perish the bloody thought" he is priced at 17 million Lol.
    I hope thierry henry feeling pretty low in barcelona because that is exsactly how us arsenal fan's feel and i am poitive that the manager and the board are haveing stoumoch ache's at this to.
    Just why they would take mr Lol david dien back after this is beyong me he made absolutely the wrong decision backing his american freind to buy our great club.What he should have done is stand side by side the other board member's and tell him in no uncertain term's to go and fuck him self.!

    Up The Glorious Arsenal Ha Ha Ha.!

  9. Ungrateful cunts. He can go and play for whoever he wants. Have you ever stayed in the same job for 8 years?? Gets boring after a while. A football career is a short one - Henry is a nice guy and deserves his move, if you want to blame someone blame the Arsenal board or Arsene Wenger, they could have kept him if they had any ambition.

  10. This hurts me show much, I want to shoot my goldfish. Terence has ripped my heart out - Arsenal is the only thing I know and I have no life.

    I want other 'die hard' Arse fans like me, to share their pain & boycott any Henry memorabilia near the ground. This turncoat piece of rat infested puke..!

    Va Va Voom off you sad traitor ****. Eat my cat's **** you infidel!

    He has ruined us forever and my life is over.

    Wenger must be hanged and Dein sent to jail for ruining my beloved sellout of a club.

  12. Gunnerexes:
    i can't believe the abuse he has got from some of our fans ?! how many players in this nodern age stay in a club for 8yrs?!Blame the board.Do you think he would have left if the board showed more ambition in winning the champions league.The very frustraion we have as fans is the very one he has only that he hasn't got much time left to play while many of his teamates do(and we as fans have ample time).the fact he said he is a "gunner for life" reveals a lot.he wanted to win it with arsenal,before he signed the new contract DD and Wenger assured him of the clubs ambition(korenke).he sugns and what happens.What the board did told him his dreams for arsenal will only occur as a clib fan not a player.HENRY'S SOLE REASON FOR LEAVING ARSENAL IS TO WIN THE CL PERIOD.You think Thierry would have left if we had signed KAKA and RUUD boot?

    ReplyDelete
  13. All I can say is gutted you ungrateful scum... How you can be so critical of Henry astounds me... Even as a Spurs fan I admire his footballing skills and what he has done for your club. You lack of ambition in the transfer market is too blame for his departure. Maybe you should target the board and not your most gifted and loyal player for years... Also, maybe you should take a little look over your shoulder??

  14. you know what

    we dont need henry but babel going to liverpool is a big blow. why are all arsenal targets going to diffrent teams eric abdial, yaya toure, ribery, malouda, babel the list goes on. we need to buy someone in defence and in attack. for henry hes been great for the past 8 years but i cant see him doing well at barca.
