Two weeks into June, The La Liga still hasn't finished (and it is proabaly one of the most exciting title race finishes for a few years in all of europe), the under 21 championships are underway, copa america is set to start soon, The bungs inquiry report has been released, and new kits are being revealed day in day out yet none of the tabs can stop talking about Thierry Henry and his bloody childishness.

   Don't get me wrong, I am a huge Arsenal fan, and a big admirer of Henry, when fit he is arguably the best and most consistent player in the world. Seeing Henry leave would sadden me, and also worry me, but i must say hes just being stupid, arrogant, spoiled, and inconsiderate.

    Last year, he shat all over Arsenal and the fans all year long till he decided to stay, he claimed it would be his last contract, that he'd retire with arsenal and what not. This year the rumors have heated up once again and all he can do is lead and mis-lead. "For Now, I am with arsenal", "It's great to hear Milan want me", "Who knows what will happen, at the moment I'm with Arsenal", "David Dein leaving was not a clever move" " I am a big girl" Why must he spur on witless journalists with remarks like that. They'll just make up absurd stories headlined with "DEVASTATED HENRY GOES MENTAL OVER DEIN EXIT" or "HENRY HOLD SECRET TALKS WITH GREAT MILAN; CONTRACTS ALREADY AGREED" I as an arsenal fan find it insulting that my team captain A) has no respect to the fans, B) has no respect to the club or the board, C) Has no loyalty to the club that made him and D) Gets involved with topics that he knows aren't for him to discuss such as the board's decisions. Arseblog touched on this quite a bit recently, and I must agree with him.

   So anyways onto what could happen I see 3 options and all of them are a lose lose situation for Arsenal, I think regardless Arsenal will come out of this ordeal hurt, even if slightly.

 Scenario 1) Henry stays after billions of rumors and stories, The rate of Arsenal Fans with heart problems will increase due to the tabloid stories, but at the end of the day of most affiliated with the club will feel releaved. Henry will come out with typical player bullshit about "I love this club, it's My home, I want to make sure Arsenal reach the top again, the fans make me feel wanted"

Problem with scenario 1) Henry will continue to slam Dein's exit, or the water flavor, or the tie Wenger wears, or something else he should not involve himself in. The tabs will never stop springing up stories, the rumors will NEVER die down. The minute arsenal play a bad game or henry plays bad there will be "Henry Regrets staying, Opens Barca Door" headlines all over the place and the cycle of heart problem-filled summers continues.

Scenario 2) Henry goes to barca in exchange for Eto'o and POSSIBLY some small cash amount

 Problems) Well, Titi is MUCH better than eto'o i know everyone in the world highly rates eto'o but for some reason I have never been convinced..regardless Eto'o is no henry, at all. Plus Henry is our captain, he understands the league, the team, the philosophy of the team, etc Eto'o would need time to settle in, get used to weather and use all the other Baptista Excuses. Plus Eto'o claims he doesn't want to leave Barca. Basically Henry is too big to be replaced by Eto'o and at this current time, Arsenal needs his quality and experience.

Scenario 3) Henry goes for cash, either to Barca or Milan, if its a cash only deal I'd think Milan have a stronger chance at Henry.

Problems) well its quite obvious, who fills Henry's boots? Especially if the deal is left late, who can arsenal possibly sign? No striker out there is Henry Calibre and could make an impact straight away..torres? eto'o? Villa? etc...no not good enough. While i trust Van Persie a Lot, and Adebayor a bit They would not be enough for Arsenal to be a serious contender in europe or in England. Furthermore his price tag is somehwere around 20 mil pounds which is DISGUSTING. Darren Bent who isnt worth Henry's glove and is inexperience as hell got a fee agreed for 18 million, carrick the shit from spurs got 16 or someting million, and shevchenko got 30 million. 20 million pounds for Henry is DISGUSTING, especially how 20 million wouldn't buy Arsenal a replacement...

Take care!

P.S 2 days ago I would have bet my house Henry was sticking around, as of today...I don't know its 50-50
