Poll on official website

Post by Red Member »

asking whether Henry should start against Man United

71% have said YES!!! :banghead:

I can't believe that. He is good enough for 15 minutes maximum against Utd.

We need to buy a proper striker NOW. Henry is a marketing gimmick. Why can't people see this?? :shock:

:high5:

our options on the wings are appaling. how people don't think we need to buy a top class winger is beyond me.

Henry on the wing would be ridiculous given his lack of pace.

I'd love to see us buy Hazard but if we're not going to then why not change formation?

Our wide players have delivered very little this season and, seeing as we don't attack at speed anymore' why not change? A diamond in midfield has seen a resurgence recently and imo might work for us. Or, God forbid, 4-4-2.

I think people CAN see that.... however, I think you've just misunderstood the poll, mate :?

The question wasn't, "should Henry start? or should we sign a proper striker?"

If it was, the results would be very different, as I'm sure many of those who voted to play Henry are saying that because they're sick to death of Arshavin and NOT because they don't think we need to sign a striker.

Anyway, I don't think Henry can possibly start as he's not fit enough. Shame, as I'm sick to death of Arshavin too. :roll:

Unlike your mate Park who you want to see given a run in the side because he is, and I quote, "a world class striker"

You do make me laugh Red :barscarf:

Park has nothing to do with needing a new striker.

surely any top side needs at least 3 strikers?

when Henry leaves next month we will only have 2 - Park and RVP

Surely, when Henry goes, Chamakh will be back, or close to returning?

If so, no need to panic - we'll have 3 super quality strikers to choose from 8) :lol:

Strikers score goals
therefore Chamakh is not a striker

Which makes Wenger's decision making last summer all the stranger, doesn't it?

Ignoring the fact that Wenger rated Chamakh highly enough to sign him in the first place, you do have to wonder - after it became VERY obvious he wasn't good enough - WHY we didn't sell him last summer? and WHY we loaned out a better striker in Bendtner, thus promoting Chamakh to the default second choice striker? and then, just to fuck us over royally, WHY he then spent money and a valuable place in our squad on Park; a player who Wenger hasn't even given a single minute of competitive action to?

Wenger has left this club totally reliant on one striker - a striker who, up until 2011, was made of glass!

And, of course, we seem to be doing everything possible to ensure Van Persie doesn't stay beyond the summer by selling our other top players (Cesc & Nasri), downgrading on the quality of their replacements (whilst pocketing a tidy profit in the process), failing to improve the team in January and, as a consequence, appear to be doing very little to prevent our almost inevitable decline out of the Champions League and into the UEFA Cup.

What is going on at the Arsenal these days?? :? and amazingly, we're paying 6.5% extra to watch this steady decline live in person! :shock:

4-4-2 and go for it from the start.

Use The Ox and Walcott wide, Arteta and Song in the middle.

Ramsey just behind RvP up front.

Bench Arshavin, with him to replace Ramsey just behind RvP if Ramsey struggles.

Henry on for last 20 minutes, longer than that too much a test of his stamina.
