As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
If it's cheaper than us actually going out & buying a quality, proven striker then given the constant penny pinching of modern day AFC, of course it'll happen.
Generally not a fan of re-signing players, but in this case he's still a better option than Chamakh.
As obviously better then Chamakh or super quality that he surely is, don't like the idea as he lacks the Heryness that made him Henry. There's a reason he plays in the US, you know.
Much as I love Henry (the second greatest Arsenal player I've seen), I think this is a bad move. I don't want to remember Henry as a 35 year old playing FA Cup games and sitting on the bench. It also confirms Wenger isn't in the market for signing a proper striker.

Worst case scenario would be to play one game, be utter shit, miss every chance*. It would then look like he'd come back just for the money.

In fact he looked better and sharper than the listless displays he gave in 2005.
Yeah the season he scored 30 goals in 42 games He really was listless in 05 wasnt he?
I think its a bad move bringing him back.But he wont cost a fee so perfect for a "big" club like us
We need him, not to play, to give guts to younger players, even if he plays, we do need someone who can dictate the game, if he's not fast as he was back in days, i bet he is technically better than anyone we have in the team by far.
Bring it On.

Never mind Dan - Sky Sports News were running with a story that a swap deal with Fulham, Chamakh for Zamora, is also being considered. Now Thierry on loan long after Barca were done with him, plus the all conquering Bobby Zamora - that'll have Madrid, Barca & co shitting themselves
No mention of Sammy's nailed Goetze deal surprisingly. I've got the rotten tomatoes ready for Sam !
