    He is, closely followed by Bergkamp.

    Anyways, hope he's successful there, a true legend to me.

    ah bergkamp is a step above

    Bergkamp had superior technical ability (though not by much, Henry was superb too) and vision, but Henry's physical gifts were ridiculous.

    Anyway I'm sure Thierry will enjoy New York, particularly now that he's a single man. Hopefully he'll **** around for a couple of years and then come home to Arsenal. Don't care in what function as long as he's involved somehow.

    I'd be surprised if he's not getting a goal a game tbh. Even Angel, at 34 is comfortably getting 1 in 2 (47goals in 77 games). Henry will tear that league apart.

    Not necessarily, it's tougher to score than most people think. Ljungberg who joined Seattle last year now wants out, complaining about the league when he's score a massive 2 goals in a season and a half.

    I can't wait to see his reaction to a good old-fashioned hard tackle when the player gets the ball before the man. Its not a free kick in the MLS and rightly so.

    The years haven't been kind to Freddie though unfortunately. Henry still has plenty left in the tank though!

    I was wondering if the Irish fans would kick up a fuss. I doubt it'll last long, unless he flops!

    Probably underestimating them, but I suppose when I think about it, he still gets lambasted over here. I've been over it long time now though.

    Henry interviewed on US tv. cringeworthy due to the hosts lack of knowledge.

    "so you've just won the world cup...."

    Saw an article with Ljungberg recently saying he wants to stay for a further two years since Seattle helped cure his long standing hip problem ?
