Henry

[LondonRed]

Watching the Barca game last night and noticed that once again that T.Henry was left on the bench. Commentators were saying that he and Guardiola aren’t seeing eye to eye.

They decided to bring on messi, Eider.G, and Bojan ahead of him for the last 15-20mins to win the cup tie.

Anyone else think he'd be a good loan acquisition?

He would be a good loan player, but I would prefer Owen and/or Heskey ahead of him.

[Chili Palmer]

as a loan signing, sure.

[Ben 23]

You surely can not be serious?

Deadly. Infact I would put Emile before the pair of them. I think Emile would be a perfect partner for Torres, much better than anything we've got at the club at the moment for that particular roll.

Ignoring Kev's man love for Big Em for one moment, I can actually see the logic in what he says and tend to agree.

Allow me to make a case for Eric Gates.

Torres could play the Heskey role better than Heskey can.

 

He doesn't need a partner as such.

Allow me to make a gate for Jimmy Case

Sure, where's he off to, somewhere nice ?

i know what your saying, but i dont think he offers enough creative ability for us, imo we've got enough players who can 'do the job' henry offers the creative ability aswell as being able to provide and more importantly score...

If we need somone to fall over everytime, i'm sure we can get one of the spanish lads to do that for us cant we?

I wouldn't buy Henry, Owen or Heskey.

I can just see where Kev is coming from regarding a potential Torres/Heskey partnership.

[Nate.]

The thought of Heskey winning a header and then limping around the pitch for the rest of the game fills me with dread.

 

Please not again.

[Stevie H]

i don't think torres benefits much from any kind of a distinct forward partner. not in a front two anyway.

How much creative ability does partner #2 require ? Ask Owen, ask Fowler, ask Claridge, ask Cottee ask any forward who has played with him. They all benefitted from Emile's unselfish work. Infact at Leicester he only played one game with Stan Collymore, and Collymore got a hat-trick, Emile does the brutal stuff, the donkey work (cue forum laughter), but that's his biggest asset. He's prepared to take the knocks for the team, you say he falls over, after the Man United Worthington Cup Final he couldn't walk for two days after the kicking he got.

 

Capello sees exactly what Emile can offer to a side, plus the fact Emile loves the club and the city and when I asked him would he come back, his answer was "In a heartbeat".

Cunny, I've spent years defending him, it cost me my job, my family, my insanity......It's a 24/7 job, do you really want it ?

no i dont think he needs a partner as a front 2 either. but henry is able to play upfront (if torres needing a rest), wide and/or behind..and he can create somthing out of nothing when you least expect it.

no chance mate

the key word on my post is potential and Heskey for me mostly falls short of it.

He could be like a Drogba, almost unplayable but I don't he has enough confidence in his own ability.

Well it did take a knock when he was asked to play on the left or right of midfield.

[smicer07]

I just saw him in Mazin Pizza in Rock Ferry.

I remember you saying when he left that you'd become quite close to Emile - I just never realised it was 'that' type of relationship

 

To be fair, I think he'd be the perfect foil for Torres against certain types of opposition (last Saturday anyone?) and wouldn't be suprised to see him back come January especially considering we'd get him for next to nowt.
