Can equally twist it and say he gave us 1 more year after our CL final flop because he really wanted to leave before that but after doing so well he gave it another chance. What happened in 2007? Oh yeah we were wank...4th and round of 16 trend began.

Henry is our greatest player in history and he deserved to go and get that CL title, plus he was far more than an extra at Barca in his first 2 seasons.

never said "extra"

but he wasn't THE MAN, he was the third musketeer. and there is no shame in that.

and i would never say, and did not say, that he didnt deserve to win a UCl title.

Henry said and i quote

"this is the last contract i'll ever sign" when he signed that after the CL final....

The guy is a liar and thus a c***.

Time has healed some wounds but not all as you can see by the lack of appreciation he got when he came back in 2012 and no one caring, well no true gooner.

His legacy was tarnished. Joined us when we were fighting for the title and left us clinging on to fourth. We went backwards with him. Compare that to the greatest Arsenal player ever, joined us when we finished 12th. Left us as CL finalists. His name i hear you as, Mr Dennis Bergkamp

Same player good or bad depending on your view, but play to his strengths and he gets a goal and two assists .... all about good player management

Only one man to blame if that happens, imo, and that man's not Lacazette
Ramsdale
(Turner/Hein)
White Saliba Gabriel Zinchenko
(Tomiyasu/Niles) (Timber/Holding) (Trusty/Kiwior) (Tierney/Tavares)
Odegaard(c) —- Rice
(Xhaka/Lokonga) —- (Partey/Elneny)
Havertz
(Jorginho/Vieira)
Saka Jesus Martinelli
(Pepe/Nelson) (Nketiah/Balogun) (Trossard/ESR)

So far Wengers biggest mistake to sell a Top striker like Giroud

I do not and would not blame Wenger for selling Giroud. I do blame him for mismanaging Lacazette. Lyon, while Lacazette was there, had a better setup for Lacazette to thrive in than we currently do. How is this still possible with all the resources Arsenal has?

I’ll tell you the answer and that’s a plethora of bad decisions being made that stems from the suits upstairs

Lacazette isn't good enough. Never mind who we buy. The pl is a much harder league than the French league. I thought lacazette would be at least quicker than giroud but it's not the case. Anyway you are right about the Board, wrong decisions
