Henry will return to Emirates
-
Thierry Henry is planning to give Arsenal fans a Christmas present by returning to the Emirates for a proper goodbye.
The record-breaking Gunners striker was sold to Barcelona in the summer for £16million.
But he plans to be back in December during La LigaÂ’s winter break.
He said: “I want a non-playing situation.
"I donÂ’t want to get drawn against Arsenal in the Champions League.
"That would not be the way to say goodbye.” -

All player left Arsenal did not make it at their current club? Which sound like they r not good enough. Soccer is not a 1 man show, what gunner provide is a platform with a concept of total football which need players to play as a team. I agreed with Wenger on the transfer price tag for England players and some so call super star is way too high, it's all about spoting good players to fit into the squad rather than like buying a 2nd hand turbo charger to fix into a 1 litre car which in the end spoil the other parts.
The fun part about Arsenal is the proccess they build a team from a group of unknown players, so Henry is just history to them. It just the vision that made the difference which cash can't match. -

i think henry feels a lot more attached to arsenal than barca...when he retires he wud most likely carry the tag as a highflying gunner and he shud migrate back to london and be a lifelong gooner

Extracted from soccernet forum:
I am worried about Henry these days and I would give you my reason.
He is a Barcelona player now in body but his spirit is still at Arsenal which is totally understandable but he might distract the players.
When he was injured last season, I found his presence on the sideline to be distracting especially to Adebayor. The players already say they feel like a burden has been lifted not having Henry around and it would be better if he gives them the opportunity to shine. Henry coming in december (which is a very busy part of the season) would be an unwanted distraction. This team needs a 100% focus and concentration to achieve sucess this season.
There is another article where Henry tipped Arsenal to do the double this season.

Those comments in my opinion are out of place and would put unnecessary pressure on the boys. Arsenal has only played 10 games this season and the boys have never won anything in their careers. It is just to early to start making sweeping predictions. A lot of fans (me included) believe that this team can go on and do things, the coach believes in the team and the players have self belief but nobody is talking of titles yet. Wenger has been very carefully not to talk about winning the title and the players have also been very humble and have also avoided that type of talk, its just too early.
I said I was not going to talk about Henry again but I noticed this worrying trend with Henry. I think he is honest in wanting to come back in december for a proper farewell and I also think his assessment of the teams potential is spot on but it is wrong. He can talk about the team at the end of the season and come to the emirates any time from next season but now is not the time. He should know how fragile the team is being with all this players for a while and I definitely expect him to know better than to distract this team with his pressence or comments.

i kinda agree wif the comment. henry's return can only distracted our young players. if he want to do so, it's better to do it at the end of the season. -

i don't think Vieira did that well in ItalyOriginally posted by The man who was death:van bronckhorst, bentley, pennent, silvinho, campbell, viera all did well after they left arsenal... -
i felt bentley did well in blackburn.
pennant is inconsistent in liverpool.
Campbell is a quality player, no doubt he performs well in portsmouth as a achorman in defence -
yeah, he doesnt do well there as he is not as passionate as before.Originally posted by glacer:i don't think Vieira did that well in Italy
but we badly miss vieira too. his absence had caused us to land fourth place for past two season.
