Le Boss Rushes Titi Back

So, after another poor result on Saturday and another injury added to our already lengthy list, Le Boss has included TH14 in the squad for tonight's CL game in Prague.

It is highly unlikely that Thierry will start. However, the Gaffer had this to say...

"He is physically fit and he's worked hard but he would maybe be a bit rusty in decision-making in the game,"

"Ideally, I would play him for half an hour and then start him against Manchester City. If I'm in a position where I can afford to give him a run, then I will do it."

Playing Titi tonight is one hell of a gamble. If he aggravates his injury further - we may not see him play again this year. BUT....beggars can't be choosers.

The loss of Thierry so far has had a huge impact on us...

"I always thought we would miss him. He's been out for 37 or 38 days and he's still our top scorer," said Le Boss.

"Has it been costly to us in the Premiership? It has. You miss someone who scores 25 goals a season. Against West Brom, we had 17 shots on goal and they had four, but we still lost the game."

Fingers crossed tonight, eh?

Why does everyone keep saying it is a gamble to play Henry tonight? The boss says that he is physically fit but might be a bit short in the decision making department. The only risk then is that he might play badly, when we need a decent performance. If he is really fit physically, then it is no real gamble to his health. The risk will be no less if he waits another month to return. The big question is, "Is he really physically fit?" We just have to take Arsene's word for that.

The question is does Hnery really want to play for Arsenal. Or, is he protecting himself for the world cup and the big summer move. The same way Sol did at the Spuds.

the real question is why can't you spell henry?
Protecting himself?If ever a player wanted to play, it's henry.
He said he played injured last season and this so why would he go all coy now?
As for him leaving, I can't see it.After verything he has said about arsenal, why would he turn down the chance of leading them out in a new stadium

Anon 12:43..Sorry for typing too quickly and not spelling Henry correctly.
What is your excuse for not being able to spell 'everything'.

You are speaking emotionally. If you look at it from Henry's point of view he is 29 and this is a major career decision. Just because he loves the club is no guarantee that he will stay. At 29 can he afford to play at a club in transition for a couple of years. Career wise he cannot lose time.
For the first time I really do believe that there is a 50-50 chance he will leave. Not because he does not love the club, but for career reasons.

I agree, his career is reaching it's 'twilight' years and at the end of the day he IS human. He's gonna want to earn as much and achieve as much as he can PERSONALLY before he hangs up his boots for good.

For the first time I'm GENUINELY concerned that he may leave...

I agree with most of the comments on here - that it's 50-50 whether he stays or goes.

The truth of the matter is that however much you love a club, if you are ambitious and want to win the champs league then you have to say he's tried with Arsenal for that cherry foorthe last 5-6 years.

Will he put personal ambition before club loyalty. Henry is an incredibly loyal player but I wouldn'tblame him if he did decide that his last major contract was somewhere else.

In the end it really depends on whether we're gonna be competitive. At this point in the season you have to say we don't look it ...

But I'm sure that when the big boys come back to the squad and we get the chance to play mainly experienced players, with integrating the younger ones in a bit more of a controlled manner we'll be fine. It just doesn't look so good at the moment.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I feel good, I begin take up real income.
It gets down to choose a proper partner who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the profit with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
