ian wright should shut his mouth and worry about himself for once. maybe he wants henry to leave because hes jealous that henry has taken his as the greatest arsenal player ever.

Ian Wright has made a career of talking absolute SHITE since leaving Arsenal - actually most of the ex players have really. WHo cares what he thinks - Henry is head and shoulders above the player Wrighty was.

Ian Wright, still remember u recommended Shaun Wright-Phillips move to Chelsea ? What is he do now ? First Team ? Nop...BENCH. Henry should think about ETO in Barco

But he's not talking bollocks is he? Henry would be mad to stay at arse

I think that Wright is pissed of because Henry broke his record . He doesnt want the margin to be bigger then this so he is trying to convincehim to leave.......... Fuck you Wrighty....Couldnt you have been more faithful?????

Ian, we know you’re really disappointed with how some people have perceived what you’ve been quoted as saying about Thierry Henry and whether he may leave Arsenal?

"Really disappointed is an understatement, to be honest I’ve been devastated. For someone who has such a passion about Arsenal to be getting grief from Arsenal supporters really hurts.

So what exactly did you say?

"Look, I get asked about Thierry and his contract all the time. With him breaking my record and everything I feel like I’ve become some kind of official spokesman or something and when people ask I want to say what I genuinely believe which is this.

"When I was at the height of my powers and playing for Arsenal if someone had contacted you from a team like Barcelona, with Ronaldinho, Messi, E’to and unbelievable players like that, would I have listened to what they had to say to me? Of course I would, you have to, but that’s not to say I would have ever left. And with Thierry I just said exactly the same, he would have to consider something like that, but I categorically, from the bottom of my heart do not want Thierry Henry to leave Arsenal Football Club.

"And we need him to be with us at the new stadium, because if you look at the team that Arsène Wenger is bringing through, it is so exciting and with Thierry’s experience to help these kids, who are already such great players, we can be right back at the top again.

"Also, if you have someone like Thierry Henry in your side, as your captain, you can always attract other great players to the Club, anyone would want to play alongside him.”
