Comparisons between Thierry Henry and Eduardo are pointless,
according to Arsène Wenger.
The Arsenal manager brought in the Croatian striker 10 days after
the record goal-scorer ended his eight-year spell in north London
and moved to Barcelona.
Wenger admits that the departure of Henry led to a swift swoop for
another forward. But that is where any similarities must end.
Eduardo is a completely different player, said the Frenchman
after the 2-0 over Barnet at the weekend. He is less
individual.
Thierry Henry could take ball in the middle of park and score a
goal that no one else in the world could score. Eduardo is more of
a mobile guy around the box with a nose for a goal. He is more a
team player but he does not have the individual potential that
Thierry had to score from anywhere.
