He does sign a few in jan tbf.
Bringing in Henry for a short spell can't do any harm, he's experienced, loves the club, is an Arsenal Legend and probably still has the vision to pick a pass. Sol did OK on his return I reckon Titi will be fine too. Anyway we have only got 1 striker at the Club at present so what's the harm in adding to the numbers?
I'm hoping Henry is part of Wengers January shopping and not the whole......who knows?
This guy looks good on YouTube.

I'm with you if it transpires that TH12 is the only striker business AW does over Jan. . .and in fact he was only signed to be cover for Chamakh!
but because I feel AW will go after more than Henry then I cant side with you, the point you keep stressing that the deal can only be 2 months should be reason enough to give us hope that more are to come!
Its not a bad deal. . .the guy will give the squad a boost/experience/steel and I bet he gets at 5+ goals at least one of particular importance (manyoo/spuds winner
Henry will provide more as a backup striker than anyone else has so far provided this year. I also don't think we'll sign another striker in January unless someone is desperate for Chamakh and Arshavin or an opportunity presents itself which Wenger feels he can't pass up. I think the plan is to get by with what we have, use Henry to cover for the absence of Chamakh and Gervinho, and work in Oxlade-Chamberlain and Park Chu Young. With any luck we can shift Squillaci and add a versatile CB-LB ala Jan Vertonghen. It seemed pretty clear that had a buyer materialised in the summer Squillaci would have been happily gift-wrapped and hand delivered. Alas, buyers were aware and none materialised.
In the summer we will definitely be rid of Chamakh and Arshavin, as well as Bendtner, Denilson, Vela and all the other chaps who offered little besides promise over the last few years. I think another striker in the summer is more likely when we've cleared that lot out. We might also lose Rosicky and Benayoun and adding another experienced creator in midfield also makes sense in the summer. I do think that Coquelin will require a space in the rotation next year, he's progressing well. I think if we lose Diaby as well as Rosicky/Benayoun we might even add two to the midfield.
On another note, this will be third season in a row that we've brought back a player from the 03/04 team. Cygan next season?
