He will not be used as a lone striker, his role will either be 60 mins from the start with Van persie or 20 mins at the end to try and nick something. He's not there to score 20 goals in 6 games just purely as an option for something different.

I'm not saying the signing of Gervinho was a bad signing (where did you get this from?!), I'm saying it wasn't enough.
And yes okay I was wrong, after half an hour of playing against Leeds I've clearly seen enough to say otherwise. Thanks for helping me see the errors of my ways
Or how about we both wait to see how well it plays out, because it could go either way? Stop trying to lord it over me, Mr. Football. Half an hour against Leeds doesn't prove me wrong nor does it prove you right.

Thanks for the new nickname i kinda like it. Anyway's i was just saying that your comment of calling it a disastrous signing was a little bit naive and i know you wern't the only one to say it but for some reason phil made me choose you to debate with. Another opinion could be that if that is his only goal in his 2 month spell imagine the shirt sales Arsenal are gonna do in these 2 months. This is no way a disastrous signing for Arsenal.
Kind Regards.
Mr Football.
Honestly Saint Kitch was there any need for the last comment. Didn't think you were one of the young agressive foul mouthed ones on here. Just take some quiet solace that you called a good call. No need to drag people through the coals with foul language.
But will his shirt sales be enough to cover his wages? I'm sure they sell plenty of Henry shirts anyway, though obviously his return will be a boost (Henry 14 or Henry 12??).
For the record, it wasn't even me who said it was "disastrous", it was an Arsenal supporting friend. By no means did I think it was a good signing (and I'm certainly not convinced by half an hour against a Championship reserve team) but I actually want to see him do well, he's one of the all time greats and if he played like it again it'd be a joy to behold. But the question has to be, if he's not lost it and he still can play at that high a standard... why is he in the MLS?
Well if you wanna believe the reason beckham went there to promote soccer in the u s of a or if you wanna believe what 99% of the population of the world believe then i'm gonna say the money, where else would a 34 year old get a multi year contract. (not sure on length but deffo more than a year) apart from the middle east or now russia, i'd perfer to live in new york myself.
Sorry i got my swear filter on so to me it just read **** but your right i take back the 4th to last word can i change it for geoffrey.
Thinking about it, that's probably the reason more than money. He'll have enough from a career at the very top, but moving to somewhere he might want to live playing in a league where he can be head and shoulders above everyone else to close out his career while still filling his pockets. Makes sense.
Despite the fact he scored a goal he is definitly not the answer to Aresnals problems. What may happen is aresnal fans get so obsesed about Henry they forget that when he goes back they will still be left with pretty much only one player who can score for them and wenger will get away with it. Its just a distraction to their real needs which if aren't adressed will possibly result in them not getting top four.
We all know that for arsenal to be a challange for the title or top 4 they need to sign world class players, we also all know that Wenger is very unlikelyto do this, i'm pretty sure that the arsenal fans know that Henry is not the answer to there silverware problems and i'm pretty certain he's not been bought in by wenger to solve this. He's there for 2 months as with chamakh and gervhino away if van persie gets injured they would be majorly screwed. Personally i think wenger should put a cheeky 30 mill bid in for torres and see what happens. But wegner being the kind of manager he is would never do that. so its henry for 2 months then back to the calamity brothers to cover for rvp
Exactly but there are good players out their availble permanently who dont cost 30mil its jan now so I think Wenger should focus on that.
His celebration made me smile, he loves the club so much. Also the wenger hug was a sweet touch.
That was an expert prediction! Just by scoring a goal on his return has made the signing worthwhile. Even if he doesn't play/score again he has already justified his return
