Default striker's depth

I think Gooners should be worried if Henry ever gets injured.

You have no one use who scores goals on a consistent basis! Really Wenger shouldn't have let Kanu or Wiltord go.

I agree with you on the 1st part, but the 2nd.....YOU ARE OFF YOUR ROCKER!!! Obviously, I hadn't heard about Kanu and Wiltord being massive strikers on their new clubs.....snicker, snicker.

I still say that Kanu is one of the most enigmatic strikers ever. One time you'll watch him and say..."good grief, this guy is brilliant...look at the sublime touch he has...." The next time you'll watch him (or even sometimes minute by minute in the same match) and think..."good grief, this muppet has no business playing in a Sunday pickup league much less the EPL...."

He is one of the most INCONSISTENT footballers around. He is fun to watch, but may require anti-acid tablets while viewing.

Yeah, besides Henry, only Reyes, Pires, Bergkamp, Ljungberg, Van Persie, and Lupoli have scored more than one goal this year.

True...but Cesc and some others are just waiting to break through. Pat's will also come soon enough...

I was being sarcastic. Pires and Reyes have six goals each in the league and are tied for third among leading goal scorers. Sorry for any confusion, i haven't figured out my smilies yet.

No...I understood that was sarcasm...I'm saying the scoring isn't as spread out amongst those who are normally putting tallies up on the score sheet...those being regular first team regulars...as it was last year and the years before. Don't worry mate, I got that it was sarcasm...

Cool, i just don't want to offend with the subtlety of my humor, troll threads tend to make me a little snide. The point of this thread is silly though. D'ya think we'd miss Henry? Gee, losing the best player in the world might be a bad thing. Kanu and Wiltord were good players for us but if either of them could justify their wage they would still be on the team. If Arsenal are strong in one area its obviously with their fowards/wingers. If Henry did get injured (Heaven forbid) i actually think Reyes could pick up the slack pretty well. The way that our young fowards are playing makes me very optomistic about the future. The CB position is where we are dangerously thin but this is nothing new, hopefully Wenger has a plan to remedy this in January as Cygan has not worked out as well as we might have hoped.
