It's just silly. I think the peak of nostalgic sentiment was reached with the Leeds goal. Henry is playing in the MLS because he can't run anymore - we saw last season how out of place he looked anywhere outside the box. He didn't even start a game. I loved those moments at Leeds and Sunderland but pretending Henry is a good replacement for a guy that actually starts games is a massive pisstake. Sign him, and sign someone else. Obviously that is unlikely to happen.

You can see it, they will get Henry to cover and try to get Llorente for Free in the summer. Or on a pre contract. Think we'll buy a few though maybe not a striker though.
Seconded (@ DSL). The club are playing on sentiment by bringing Henry in - and we've already rinsed that for his role last season and the couple of winners (particularly against Leeds) that he managed. Getting him in now would a very transparent act of manipulating the fans and, quite frankly, a scumbag move. If you don't want to bring in proper players and we struggle, at least man up and take the criticism/abuse from the fans that pay your wages. Lowering the legacy of a club legend just to buy yourself some respite is a dick move.
Exactly.
Cheap move? Check.
Healthy april accounts? check.
Sell Walcott? Check.
Stick Tezza back in the 14 shirt? Check.
Make shedloads off his back? check.
Mug us all off once again. check.
sounds likes a plan.
Then is Henry stupid for coming back if he does and Lowering his rep. What makes you think he'd even come and play for us.
It's Henry. Of course he'll say yes if we ask him.
What I tend to see is that for some people who are at the very top of their field, be it sports or whatever, they struggle to come to terms with the fact that they're not what they were. I have little doubt Henry still fancies his ability and thinks he could have an even better impact than last year.
