It’s a dilemma as to which scenario would be best for us. I agree that allowing the scum to generate cash could cause us problems. It’s great knowing that they are struggling with their massive debt at present but it’s only a matter of time before they receive funds from somewhere. Most probably from Kroenke investing.

If Henry was to stay and have another poor season then fantastic but he may well have one very good season left in him. Rather that was with another team than with the other lot.

At some stage they will have money to spend. I just hope that by then Henry, Wenger and Fabregas have all pissed off.

On Hornchurch Yid’s point…

I want Henry to stay at Arsenal!

He’s a couple of months short of 30. He is a great player because he has skill and pace combined. He is also injury prone. His pace is going to start to fade and he doesn’t seem to be the kind of player who will last long into his mid 30s.

So the way I see it - he can either have another year or two of slowly diminishing returns even when he isn’t injured at a team that look to be on their way down, or Wenger can flog him for £25 million to a team stupid enough to pay that, and all of a sudden their limited transfer budget becomes that little bit less limited.

I’ve got a gooner mate who also thinks they should flog Fabregas for £30 million (on his eight year contract) as well and give Wenger £70 million to spend this summer!

Wenger has built new teams by flogging big stars for silly money and I’d rather it didn’t happen again!

Disappointed that the 1st game is away again, although it could have been a lot worse than Sunderland.

It’s a great opportunity to get off to a flyer with our first 3 games.

It’s a shame that we have to go to Old Trafford before they become fully embroiled in Champions league fixtures.

As long as we can go into the Scum game with plenty of momentum we’ll beat them this year. I just know it.

COYS

I love it. We get one of their excellent players and Barca get one of the scums excellent players. Everyones a winner.
