Au Revoir Captain, Goal-Scorer, Penalty-Taker, Assist-Maker, Free-Kick Taker, Corner Taker...


At Saturday night June 23, my boss Edi send me an short message service, told me that Thierry Henry, one of the legendary Arsenal FC player will be unveiled as Barcelona's newest striker. I don't believe it.

Still find the truth, at Monday morning i look up the internet, newspaper, even tv. Suddenly i feel numb, sad, angry, still cant believe, when i read the statement: "Henry signs four-year deal with Barcelona FC".

Despite my deeply disappointed, I totally respect what Henry was done at Arsenal. As one of the classiest players to ever have graced the English game, he is totally irreplaceable.

However, his departure from the Gunners is probably the best thing that could happen to the club right now. Those are, if they can keep current Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger and replace him with two strikers. So, please stay Prof!

Back to Henry for a minute. While the talisman has brought so much glory to Arsenal, his attitude off the pitch during the last 12 months has been detrimental to the club. He holds too much power and, to me, has been too vocal with his opinions telling the media what he believes is best for Arsenal.

I don't think Arsenal fans or the club should be in a state of panic regarding Henry's departure. With Stan Kroenke on the future, the club has an opportunity to receive enormous amounts of investment to buy the best talent available.

While that day hasn't come yet, let's hope that Wenger stays in charge and steadies the ship. The Gunners fans including me for sure, will want a new signing quickly to distinguish the fire of outrage among many Arsenal fans devastated by Henry's departure. I wish Henry all the very best with his endeavors in La Liga.

Thank you for your goals.
49 unbeaten.
Trophies.
and huge amazing memories..
