Loan for 2 months. . .no brainer IMO
Would be better off the bench than Chamakh especially if he fucks off in January!
Park should also be given a chance but Henry will add that muxh needed experience come a traditionall difficult time of year for us. . .
Still need to look hard at January transfer long term targets tho
nothing to lose IMO. But I agree that AW needs to be looking long term. When you see how other high profile players have made an instant impact in the EPL, and how many players he has persevered with have failed to reach their potential his policy of not 'killing' his existing players needs to be revised here. Not doing so may well cost us CL football and RVP.Originally Posted by Stocking full of Chamakh
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Could maybe do a job short term. Far less depressing option than Chammakh or Arshavin.
No we need someone who can play til the end of the season at least plus Henry is a bit shit these days.
A washed up, slow, shit Henry or Chamakh & Arshavin. Not a difficult choice.
It's fucking embarrassing that a club of our size and income is even considering such a move. We should be buying quality players in their prime.
1) I prefer to remember Henry as he was, the top class player who produced some amazing moments and scored a hatful of goals, coming back now when he's past his best will only taint this
2) Once again this is Wenger being cheap as he almost always is, he wants to stick with nobodies like Chamakh and bring in cheap short term cover rather than buying quality long term solution, we'll never build a top quality team if we stick with players who don't deliver and keep getting cheap quick fixes like Squillaci. We need a manager who is focussed on building a team not saving money to make sure he doesn't risk his 6 million a year salary.
Henry is well past it but it's better than nothing at all. Just another option to have.
As long as his arrival is complemented by someone like Podolski coming in. Then it'd work.
Agreed, if Henry is the only striker coming in to compensate for Gervinho and Chamakh leaving for the ACON, then that is not good enough. There are question marks over whether he can still hack it at the top level anyway, so we'd be taking a big risk by relying on him to provide cover for RVP, even if it is for just a few months. Moreover, we should be looking at long term targets anyway, not just someone to fill in in the short term. Because even when Chamakh comes back, it is manifest that he is nowhere near good enough, and this leaves us extremely short up front.
Again, Wenger is looking to get the cheapest option in, rather than focusing on long term needs. We should get a good quality striker in January on a long-term deal, who can provide competition for RVP, even if such a player will cost a bit. Penny pinching has got us nowhere over the last 5 years, it's time to focus on quality, not simply price.
I wouldn't stick this one on Wenger yet. I think he was asked a question by the press and just responded. I don't think he's given it any serious thought yet.
