Our run to the Champions league final wasn't down to him . The whole team was good and determined . The final was the game he should have turned up and won the game as he did against Madrid but he didn't .

Henry dragged us to 4th that year and scored 30+ goals in the process, he was also excellent as the lone striker and scored some big goals. To say he didn't cut it after the quality around him declined is just plain wrong. If it wasn't for him Spurs would have finished above us that year and we certainly wouldn't have made the CL final.

Giroud has far better players around him than Henry did from 05-07 that's for sure.

Oh dear! Have RVP and Henry won trophies since leaving? We can even extend that one out to Cesc. Obvious answer should be Wenger.

I need to play a page from Blink's book and stop responding.

I think regardless of what Wenger has or indeed hasn't achieved, we haven't bought a quality striker in years.

We are seeing the best of Giroud at the moment and he's still not anywhere near the level of Henry or Van Persie playing within themselves.

We need a defensive midfielder for sure in the summer but we also need a world class striker

As LDG said, Wenger only stumbled into playing Coq as our CDM :lol:

Arteta is back now :doh:

Schneiderlin is a must get

Has someone really suggested that they would choose Giroud over Henry in any context at all????????? That is just mental.

No - RVP got pissed off with the constant promises from Wenger that we would buy quality to compete. Don't blame him or Cesc for what they did, they couldn't continue to carry a team full of average players or wait for Wengers basement buys to turn into Prince Charming.

I don't mind someone like Nasri leaving tbf

RvC is different because he was a crocked cunt for 7 seasons

I think Alpha suggested that Henry & RVP have all missed chances in big games aswell, which I'm pretty sure is true - but NOT 4 in one game that my nan would have scored.
