Makes sense. Star player out injured and other team members play with expectation that:

a. He'll be back to lead them on
b. They won't be as good with him out of the lineup as they are in.

Add to that the conflicting messages Henry had from week to week. Henry was only fooling the fans. He should have left last season. The way he left this past season was pretty cruel.

A change had to be made. I'm just puzzled that Barcelona only had to pay 16 million pounds. That's including injuries, age, etc.

Arsene Wenger knows what he's doing. I think the injury situation last campaign threw him and the players off, along with Manchester United and Chelsea taking off from the rest of the league. Seems like he has so far made an attempt to compensate for areas that needing upgrading and imo that they won't go through the injury situation like they did last season.
