I am worried about Henry these days and I would give you my
reason.
He is a Barcelona player now in body but his spirit is still at
Arsenal which is totally understandable but he might distract the
players.
When he was injured last season, I found his presence on the
sideline to be distracting especially to Adebayor. The players
already say they feel like a burden has been lifted not having
Henry around and it would be better if he gives them the
opportunity to shine. Henry coming in december (which is a very
busy part of the season) would be an unwanted distraction. This
team needs a 100% focus and concentration to achieve sucess this
season.
There is another article where Henry tipped Arsenal to do the
double this season.

Those comments in my opinion are out of place and would put
unnecessary pressure on the boys. Arsenal has only played 10 games
this season and the boys have never won anything in their careers.
It is just to early to start making sweeping predictions. A lot of
fans (me included) believe that this team can go on and do things,
the coach believes in the team and the players have self belief but
nobody is talking of titles yet. Wenger has been very carefully not
to talk about winning the title and the players have also been very
humble and have also avoided that type of talk, its just too
early.
I said I was not going to talk about Henry again but I noticed this
worrying trend with Henry. I think he is honest in wanting to come
back in december for a proper farewell and I also think his
assessment of the teams potential is spot on but it is wrong. He
can talk about the team at the end of the season and come to the
emirates any time from next season but now is not the time. He
should know how fragile the team is being with all this players for
a while and I definitely expect him to know better than to distract
this team with his pressence or comments.

i kinda agree wif the comment. henry's return can only distracted
our young players. if he want to do so, it's better to do it at the
end of the season.
