    Would definitely take him on for another loan spell. Especially with Gervinho going to the ACON.

    Even if it was to rub the spuds faces in it again after they predicted him ruining his legacy with us last time <ok>

    Yes, why not. His goals last season, especially the one at Sunderland proved to be vital. Also by all accounts, he had his best season for New York Red Bulls this year, so is in better form.

    They were all at it. Gleefully predicting that he was washed up, would ruin his legacy and that we had to rely on former heroes.

    Then he went and put us through to the next round in the FA cup and won us 3pts at Sunderland, helping us finish above the spuds <ok>

    Henry = Spuds troll

    Last season when Henry came to us he changed the atmosphere and the team. The way he acted like a 2nd captain when he was on the pitch, dictating the way we play by instructing the players around him. He wa calm and helped us see out games. When eh came on the pitch i think everyone thought we would get a win! The fans and the players. And opposition fans can feel that confidence which affects how they play.

    I also think Walcott will have benefited from working with him and would do again if he came back for another loan.

    For those reasons alone i think he is worth bringing back to the club, even if he only gets small sub appearances he will add alot off the field. But on top of that he is actually capable of scoring and changing games and to have a striker capable of scoring the way he can as a back-up option is fantastic.

    So thats a big fat yes from me.

    As long as he signs a striker on the permanent as well

    Will a striker come in? Gervinho, Pod, Theo & Giroud can all play up top. I reckon Wenger thinks Arsenal are fully-stocked.

    As well as helping Walcott develop further, Henry's commitment to Arsenal and the legendary status he holds might convince Walcott to sign a new deal.

    Only 2 of those are strikers and Wenger refuses to play one of them central, we need at least one more

    Henry should have a word with young Theo. Seriously, as I said before, Walcott is at the perfect club for him.

    Last year, I did it [sign Henry] because we lost Gervinho, it was a good connection. This year we lose Gervinho again as they are playing the African Cup of Nations two years in a row. So we will be confronted with a shortage, particularly if Chamakh should go. I cannot stand in his way. Then we will be short.

    Chamakh! Just that name mentioned should open the doors for Henry's re-signing. Even now Henry is better than Chamakh but a significant margin!
