Adios King Henry...

Pires came and went; so did Bergkamp, Reyes and Anelka. But no other exit will mar the Gunners as Henry’s. Come Tevez, Anelka or not, they don’t have enough payload to lift Arsenal as Henry and Wenger have done since the last decade. Henry’s no. 14 jersey was almost a replay of Cruyff’s for Barca.
“..Henry, you have a legacy to carry on. You are the Cruyff in another era, the new No 14, in a newer time, one with newer demands. But the football remains the same.” But it won’t be the same for the Gunners again. Arsenal was synonymous with Thierry Henry and Arsene Wenger. With Henry gone and Wenger set to leave a year hence, the Gunners’ arsenal is as good as expired and rotten; at least seemingly so.
How the experience of Hleb, Gilberto and Lehmann and young blood of Van P., Fabregas and Walcott bring the spark back at Emirates will be interesting to see!
