l'm serious.

Forget about everything we lack on paper. Or w/e. At the end of the day we lack a leader. We lack mental toughness and a real veteran voice. Wenger, Arteta, and Mert clearly aren't setting the fire and the desire and will to win in a lot of the young talented players we have.

Watching Henry this season, he still has it. He still demands so much out of his teammates. He still hustles and gets the best out of the players around him. Even though the red bulls didn't get to the finals this year, his leadership qualities and voice still have such a big impact on everyone around him. l think now more than ever our squad desperately needs a player like him and help sort out whatever mentally is just causing so many of our players to not play to what we know they are capable of. And someone to help keep players cool in pressure situations.

l know how old he is. But who cares. Look at what a positive impact Lampard still has for City, and Drogba has done well for Chelsea too.

He's a free agent. Lets bring Titi home where he belongs and he can retire with us like the true legend he is.

Bring him back on the bench as a part of the coaching staff.

He's better than Sanogo so yes bring him back in a player-coach role if he wants it. And of course to retire at Arsenal cheers

Would love to have him and Bergkamp back at the club in some capacity at some point in the future.

Thierry Henry has announced his departure from New York Red Bulls after four-and-a-half years with the Major League Soccer club.

The former France striker revealed his decision three days after admitting he would be interested in a return to Arsenal, and changed his Facebook photograph to an image of the Emirates Stadium.

The 37-year-old will take 'the next few weeks to reflect and decide on the next chapter of my career' with a coaching role at the Barclays Premier League club among the options.

I am taking this opportunity to announce that unfortunately Saturday was my last game for the New York Red Bulls.

The decision has always been that I would leave after the duration of my contract and although that was never going to change, I didn't want it to distract from the progress of the team.

I have immensely enjoyed my four-and-a-half years here and would like to thank everyone involved with this club who has made my time here so enjoyable.

Thanks must go particularly to Erik Soler, Hans Backe, Gerard Houllier, Andy Roxburgh, Mike Petke, all my team-mates, the technical staff, medical staff, all the personnel who work for the Red Bull organisation, the MLS and of course the owner Mr Mateschitz whose vision and passion brought me to this wonderful city.

A special mention must go to the Red Bull fans who have supported this team through the good, the bad and the ugly times in the sun, rain and snow.

You guys have really meant a lot to me and thank you for all your wonderful support.

I will now take the next few weeks to reflect and decide on the next chapter of my career.

Thank you all,
Thierry Henry

Come home Titi :bow: :bow:

We don't have any technical or sporting directors, so he can't fit in there. He would make a great ambassador for the club, but I doubt he'd want to settle for just that. I am not sure if he'd make a (good) manager. Coach is not glamorous enough. hmm

If he comes to Arsenal, what do you guys see him as?

player/ coach, giggs from last year kind of role for the rest of the year. I don't think he's quite ready to call it quits playing wise.

Think we could just sign him and he could play every now and then and help out on the rest of our injury crisies we are sure to have the rest of the season and help him transition to a full on coaching role shortly after

It's hard to see Henry getting into the daily grind of coaching. I don't think it'd be suitable for him given his personality and lifestyle.

Maybe he could go the way of Freddie Ljungberg and take on an ambassadorial role for the club.

He did say he'd be willing to be a water boy hmm

I don't see him playing with us again, even in a player/coach role. If he's going to play more football I see it at a MLS< level

I dont think Henry will come back as a player, it would be too emotional for him. Like MJ said maybe in the future would rather Bergkamp and Henry together again at Arsenal.

Putting sentiment aside, I don't think there is room for Thierry on the playing side of things anymore.

You referring that Sanogo is better than Henry, given the performances of last six months or an year may be?

Henry will always have class and ability but you'd be hard pressed to find many 37-year-olds who can outlast a 22-year-old over the course of a 50-game season.

Granted, Henry takes care of himself well and Sanogo is frail, but Sanogo's shortcomings shouldn't be what defines what we look for in a striker.

I just don't see the need with Giroud and Welbeck as primary options and Sanogo raw but useful, Henry would be better off playing at a lower level if he still wants to or coming back as a coach.

Would love to see him in any capacity at the club but I don't think it'll be as a player.
