DISQUS

Fullback · 2 years ago

I agree completely about Arsenal sans Henry. Even on the pitch, it oftentimes seem like the rest of the team is just waiting for Henry to do something. Classy as he is, he often does just that, but (and I'll probably get slammed for this) the Gunners sometimes play better team football when he isn't the focus of the attack.

I don't know if I would go so far as to say that it is the "best that could happen to the club right now." I would say that that would probably be Arsene signing an extension or Arsene pulling a rabbit out of his hat and signing Carlos Tevez.


I think they probably do need a striker, though I'm not exactly quivering about the prospect of the incredible sulk making his return. Their major problem last year was getting practically nothing in terms of goals from the midfield. If that gets rectified, they should have enough up front. RVP was on his way to a 20 goal season before he was injured last year. Adebayor, Walcott, and Bendtner are not a bad supporting cast.



If they aren't going to get in the sweepstakes for Tevez, I would really love to see them pick Obafemi Martins. He's a finisher with power and pace who can stretch the back four and create space for everyone else.
