Who should replace Henry?

Who would you like to see replace henry?

Here are my choices:

~ Berbatov - great player, but very unlikely tho, very expensive and he plays for the scum

~ Torres - would be a great replacement, but would he come now henry's left

~ Babel - the most likely choice to come in. played well at U21 championship, and can still improve

~ Owen/Martins - both been linked, and would love to see one of them at the emirates. anyone remember the time when martins destroyed us at highbury with inter.

You can have Owen for 9 million - he never plays and only stirs himself when there's a major international tournament. Martins is hugely inconsistent sometimes struggles to trap a medicine ball and has the vision of a mole

You wernt saying that when he spanked in that shot at shite hart lane.

doesnt do it often enough for 10 million quid, two or three times a season- you haven't seen the comlpetely ineffective games of shite he played for the last 15 games.

Anelka, buy him for 8-10 mill. only 28 so still has some good years a head of him.

Out of those choices Berbatov or Torres, we need someone with a big reputation, ability and goals.

Babel is a great prospect but we need a 'talisman' to ease the pressure, not just top up a squad already overflowing with young talent. Def would like us signing Babel but as with Drenthe post feel there are more priorities now than him.

Torres seems to be the option 'cos Eto'o would have been part of the Henry deal. Somehow can't see mr Wenger spending that sort of cash though.

Owen- 9 million: Will finish off our moves

Babel- 6 million: Speed and skill but needs some work

Gudjohnson- 7 million: Skillful playmaker

Would also love Eto'o but it wont happen!

V Persie, Adebayor, Owen, Babel, Bentdner and Walcott!!! We would have the best strike force even without henry!!!

Not especially a fan of owen but where he would not have been a player that could have fitted in at arsenal a few years ago he could do so now(assuming he is fit). Would not want that big lazy c*nt barbietov under ant circumstances. My own choice would be either eto or torres. I do believe we could get either of them if wengers future was commited to the club but as things stand am doubtful on both counts. i thought torres was a cert with jose & cash going the other way and hopefully will be proved right. i still feel goals wise andy johnson would be a good fit for us but right now the player we sign needs to be high profile as well as high quality

we don't need to panic buy.Every club in Europe will try to take us to the cleaners thinking we are desperate for a striker.Remember the silly amounts Chelsea used to pay before the russian and Newcastle have always paid for mediocroty.There are good strikers at the club already
Van Persie,Adebyor,Walcott,Bendtner and even Jose Antonio Reyes?
Would he now fancy a return? Don't forget the African cup of nations next
january and february will cost us three quality players.We may want to look at stengthening the defence before a so called big name up front we
may not neccessarily need.keep smiling.

Arsene knows what he's going to do. We have trusted him so far and we have had 10 years of wonderful football under his guidance.

He will probably end up buying a player no-one has every heard of (Toure, Anelka, Vieria, Petitt etc)

If it was me and I had 16m Henry 2m Aliadiere and maybe 10m Reyes

I would sign Babel and that would be it. Two players for every position and make Toure skipper
We will win the league next season and the champions league.

Keep the faith

Fernando Torres - Arsene get in there with a bid.

An Anelka return would be 'interesting' to say the least
