Henry was the guy at Arsenal who created almost all of the offense. He was not just a finisher, but a playmaker and a set up guy as well. All of the offense at Arsenal came through Henry, not just to Henry. Henry can take the ball from a terrible position and create offense all on his own by beating defenders.
I agree with a poster who said he's on his way down and past his prime, but he still is a great player and difficult to replace.
As for Wenger, he is a legend and has never done Arsenal wrong before, however I think his time at the helm may be at an end. I'm not confident his style of managing and his talents have as much relevence for a big club in today's soccer world.
Building great young teams, doesn't matter much in soccer anymore, because someone like Barcelona will just buy them as soon as they're good anyway. Yes, it brings in money to the team, but Arsenal needs to start puttin that money into current stars and not just kids if they want to be a top club and not a great farm team.

I think that was me that said he was in decline and still useful... but I noted he's not quite the bulldozer he was before. I meant to say he's starting to play more like Trezeguet, in which he waits for the play to come to him, rather than make the play happen. Not that he's a pure poacher. I think I got confusing comparing the downturns of the two strikers.
I agree that Henry is a higher class of striker than Trez, no question.
