Thumbs up for Wenger from me on this.
Makes sense to get Henry back for a couple of months, I really don't see what harm this can do. Obviously I hope he is still looking for a longer term option (Podolski) but in terms of adding another option to the attack, whilst Chamakh and Gervinho go away, then it's a smart move.
Plus purely for the novelty factor it's awesome.

Also - Wenger is not one for sentiment. I think he's watched Henry in training, assessed him and fully believes he can still cut it.
Sure he's well past it, but you don't lose that class. I bet he can still pick passes for fun and if a chance falls to him, he will take it.
He picked Pires in the CL final for sentiment....
If we get Henry, we arent getting another striker in January so unless Chamakh is over his year long blip and Gervinho has stopped being a flop when they come back from the ANC then we'll be in the same situation as we are now when Henry leaves.
Id love Podolski here. Been a fan of his for years. Best left foot in the business
AW is not a silly man, he will know Henry will be a sub more or less, unless its the fa cup. Even though henry playing against the likes of the mancs and home and the scum will put shilvers down their spines.
It will be weird to have henry back with somone else wearing the no 14 shirt.
I agree with you. It's the shortest of short term solutions, we all know Henry for 2 months is not really adequate. We have a month to sign Podolski (or another striker) so I'm just happy to wait and see what happens. Obviously I will be disappointed if no one else comes in.
