So what will the Henry move mean for our first team? With Gervinho and Chamakh off to the ACON he is looking like the only player to come in as a replacement. The move will be very beneficial for the younger players - in particular the likes of ryo, walcott, oxocube. I also think this will keep RVP's morale up as he will know there is another top class striker at the club - even if he is past his best. Hopefuly he can do a decent job for a couple of months. The loan moves worked well with Campbell and Lehmann. But - How will this change our front line? When we have Henry instead of Chamakh and Gervinho what will our line-up be? Currently we go for: Gervinho------RVP----Walcott Subs: Chamakh, Arshavin, Beny Back-ups: Park Then will we go for: Arshavin-----RVP-----Walcott Subs: Henry, Beny, Park Or will Park get some game time on the wing? Or will oxocube or ryo get there chance? Or will Henry play out wide (personaly don't think he has the legs for it anymore)? Or is it Benayoun that will get his opportunity at the first team?? Will we be much weaker going forward? Or will we maintain a similar level of attack? What will be the overall effect be of the ACON and Henry signing?
With all due respect i've not been that impressed with gerviniho so far this season so I don't think you'll be that damaged I think Henry is currently on a par with him, so you may even do better with young eager to impress players coming off the bench or starting?
I'm kinda hoping Arshavin isn't around - how big would that visa have been for Campbell right now....
Sorry, but RVP aside - Gervinho has been our best attacking player. Not sure if you've been watching much of Arsenal if that's really your opinion.
Granted not as much as yourself, just seems he came with a lot of hype and to my mind hasn't delivered that much. Might well be wrong and have just seen the wrong matches though!
He hasn't scored a bucket full of goals, RVP's been doing that, but he's been instrumental in those chances being created.
Alright then I'll make sure I watch your next game as we've just played our last game and lost to bloody bristol city our only loss in the league at home comes now, brill. I'll watch him just feels like he never really finishes a move off nicely and looks like he means everything he does, spose flukey the word I'm looking for.
'he never really finishes a move off nicely'. - a good summary. Work in progress - but an interesting prospect.
Maybe this will come with time didn't he score 15 and assist like 12 in the french league - so he can do it. He puts himself in good positions it is the final ball/finish that is lacking hopefully will come with time reminds me a little of adebayor in terms of chances to goals. But he has the potential to be better.
