The object of his glare was a Barca side that had just denied him club football's ultimate prize – and to rub salt into the wound, had done so by playing the sort of football Henry cherishes , the same style of football that Arsenal plays.
Although Iam a red devil i can't fail to accept that Henry was a thorn in a fresh for not only Man United but all other clubs in the league for goal scoring ability.
Henry has been a loyal servant to Arsenal and they have had the benefit of two titles and three FA Cups over a career spanning 364 games and 226 goals, a true charactor of a legend and indeed Henry will remain a legend to many at Arsenal.
What is making me ponder is the way a man who has always claimed to be more loyal to the club leave? this tells us something that in football no any prayer should claim to be loyal that he can't leave.The fact is that every player wants to achieve and if he is satisfayed that his club can help him realise his dream then he wilk stay if its the reverse, for sure he will leave. We may say that Henry at Arsenal had achieved every thing but the desire to add on a Champions league medal couldn't keep Henry at Emirates.
The other question is who gained in the deal and who lost?.This Reminds me of Deal or No Deal on NTV. Wenger a Professor of Economics is known for making lucrative deals and indeed he still demostrated this .At almost 30yrs of age Henry has passed his best and he is nearing his retirement, selling him at 16pounds was exploitationto Barcelona.
Indeed Some Barca fans have questioned the wisdom of paying so much for someone who turns 30 in August but Henry's charm offensive has won over the vast majority of those doubters before a ball has been kicked.
To bring most of Barc fans who doubted his cost,Henry was quick to say that he chased the autographs of former Barcelona stars Hristo Stoichkov and Romario in 1993 and saying that Barcelona were the only club in the world he was prepared to leave Arsenal for.
To Arsenal fans who still believe in Henry he has this message for u "I will have you in my head and my heart. I said I was going to be a Gunner for life and I did not lie because when you are a Gunner you will always be a Gunner. The club is in my heart and will remain within my heart for ever."
"There are only two teams in the world who play football the way I like it," admitted Henry. "That's why I am leaving Arsenal for Barcelona
Which type of a gunner do you think he was meaning?. I think a gunner in name but not in character."Thierry has been tremendous for us since he arrived in 1999," Wenger said. "He has excelled both as part of a team and individually. In short, he has become an Arsenal legend. Personally, I would like to thank Thierry for the huge
contribution he has made to the club's success over the past eight years. To his great credit, he has mixed skill and style together with an appetite for winning. It was Thierry's decision to leave Arsenal but he goes with my blessing. On behalf of everyone at the club, we wish him the very best for the future."
I support neither Arsenal nor Barcelona but I wish you lack Henry, I will miss watching you in PL although you have given us an opportunity to beat Arsenal home & away...Actually the Baganda will be calling Arsenal 'KIMPE KYEKUBIRE"
