    Some reports are suggesting that Wenger may make a loan move for Henry. Good move?

    Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing this. I think it's clear that Henry loves our club and would still give 100% without being a first choice striker. I think the pressure would be off of him, and nothing like in his last season with us, when he felt that he was 'carrying the club' and the weight of expectation on his shoulders.

    Or another potential could be a move for Defoe? He's unhappy at Spurs, citing not playing, so he might not be any better off on the bench at Arsenal. That said, he's a proven goal scorer and given the service from our attacking players, I think he'd score goals for Arsenal too. Not sure why Redknapp has never really used him properly, especially as he bought him twice?

    Both potential options? Or just pie in the sky?

    Henry is a good shout but Defoe won't come if he's on the bench still.

    Henry would be good cover for Gerv when he goes away for you.

    <ok> I'd go along with this. I think Henry might also fancy the idea. We'll see .....

    The reports actually have him saying "i can't comment on that' i've not approached the player or the club" etc etc

    Dunno, Henry was class at Barca.

    He'd be good for the dressing room aswell not just as a player.

    Maybe it's just me and Jayram who think that Henry should still be playing for the club? <yikes>

    TH14 can score goals in his sleep , he has got so much natural talent he would be a great asset to ANY club.

    Given the choice of TH14 with the ball at his feet at the edge of the box or GERV/ARSHAVIN / RAMSEY i know which i would choose every time.



    class is permanent .
