Stop Here

Despite the fact that Arsenal lost 4 important men this summer – Sol Campbell, Dennis Bergkamp, Robert Pires and Ashley Cole (pretty soon) – gunner Thierry Henry still thinks that his side has a shot for the Premiership title.
“It's been hard to compete with Chelsea. Everyone is working on that - Liverpool, Tottenham and others too are trying to catch them. The thing is they keep on buying quality players. It doesn't mean you always have to win the league. It's difficult for any team to do that. But you can't look at them and feel sorry for yourself. You have to do with what you have and that is the way it is”, said the Frenchman, according to “The Sun”.
Henry changed his opinion a little bit as compared to early this week, when he warned the Arsenal officials not to sell Cole. He then stated that: “we are trying to compete against Chelsea on the transfer market, yet we give them some of out best assets”. After finding out his friend & colleague will leave the squad, Henry started lightning up.
More, after Arsenal’s performance in the Champions League qualifiers – when they beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 away, without major players like Cole, Lehmann, Henry, etc – Henry became more confident of his teammates.
