Gilberto should be captain full stop.
INMHO you should never have a forward or a goalkeeper as a captain no matter how good they are. They dont see enough of the game. The best position is a holding midfielder who is in constant state of motion with the defenders and the attackers.
Toure shoudl be VC and deservedly so on ability and true passion for the club.

Van Persie is going to be just as good as Henry once he is fit again. And is a perfect foil for Adebayor. It was obvious byt he Batista (sp) experiment that a bulldozing forward doesnt suit the gunners style, so another ball playing forward would do the trick. Or even play Rosicky and Van Persie playing oustide Adebayor in a 4-3-3 formation that would allow the on rushing style that any neautral footballing fan loved when Arsenal were on form.

Im a LFC supoprter and im glad that he is gone from the Premiership. Not because he “apparantly” weakens one of our rivals but because he never truely had his heart at the club for the past 2 years, almost mercenary style.
I think Arsenal will come out of this much stronger than people think. Wenger may just yet unearth another class player to shock us all !! Or he could be gone in a year and Hiddink could continue the high quality football regime.

Any blame should be on the gunners management and not on any player. Just hope they somehow persuade Wenger to stay past next season…………..

Wenger, please please get Anelka, he would never have paired with Henry(2 colossal egos) but now it should work. As for Henry, all I can say is thanx for all the good work, we’ll miss your sublime touch(belive me Nistelroy is not a patch on you) but I sure wish you had some more spine to tell the truth out boldly. Your exit was pathetic, very much like some of your antics in your last season……….

This is from TheWorldGame site, it only has true stories no romours since it is a tv show site..

Barcalona have secured Thierry Henry’s Signiture. The France and former Arsenal striker is set to sign a 3-year deal with the Catalan giants in a few days.
Thierry Henry may play a final “Tribute’ game at the Emirates against reigning European Champions AC Milan, the game may not happen though.
Arsenal will get 28 Million Pounds for the Frenchmans departure, Arsenal may possibly lure Eto’o, Bastien Schweinsteger, Andriy Schevchenko or Michael Owen to the Emirates with the money from Henrys leave.

NOT SURE HOW TRUE IT IS BUT

Looks like its been confirmed by the man himself. Initially I was absolutely shocked at the transfer amount. Having thought about it and in light of Henrys comments I can understand it, but I still think this was not a good amount at all. Im sure Wenger has something up his sleeve but we really could have done with more money to find a replacement and strengthen other areas.

With regards to how we will do next season I’m not optimistic at all. I still think we will have the third best team in the league, especially in light of Henry’s minimal contribution last season, but I cant see us winning the league, we wont be much stronger than last season regardless of what happens in the summer. Players who see what has just happened will be less interested in us and we wont be able to sign a top striker, at the moment Anelka,McCarthy and Martins are the only decent options. Bent is unproven a the top level (and a rip off) and Wenger would not touch Michael Owen with a 10 foot bargepole and rightly so.

As for Henry, I sincerely wish him all the best at Barcelona. Henrys never been my single favourite player at a given time but looking back, overall no player has done more for the club or given the fans as many good memories in the last 20 years, including Tony Adams. I am sure every fan who is 35 or under has him down as the greatest Arsenal player of their time. All the best and thanks for everything, we love you.
