Wenger Tak Mau Buru-Buru Belanja Pemain

Manajer Arsenal Arsene Wenger menolak untuk terburu-buru dalam melakukan pembelian pemain baru untuk skuadnya.

Arsenal baru saja menjual Emmanuel Adebayor ke Manchester City dengan nilai transfer yang diyakini sebesar 25 juta poundsterling.

Dengan dana tersebut, Arsene Wenger diyakini akan melakukan pembelian pemain lagi. Namun demikian, manajer asal Prancis itu menolak untuk melakukan pembelian dengan terburu-buru.

"Kami tidak dalam posisi akan mendatangkan pemain baru, tapi saya memiliki kesempatan untuk menghabiskan dana transfer jika ada pemain yang pantas untuk dibeli," kata Wenger kepada Sky Sports.

Dia menambahkan jika Marouane Chamakh masuk dalam bidikannya.

"Jika kami memang butuh mendatangkan pemain baru, kami akan melakukannya. Chamakh adalah salah satu pemain yang kami ikuti dan apabila kami membutuhkan striker lagi, dia adalah salah satu pilihan kami. Kami terus mengawasinya," jelas Wenger.

Gunners' Greatest Players - 1. Thierry Henry

Remember the kid in the playground who was better than everyone else with a football at his feet? That's what Thierry Henry was like in his pomp.

The Frenchman had exquisite technique, searing pace and surprising strength. And like the typical schoolboy superstar, he did pretty much everything for his team. Henry was the captain, the talisman, the dead-ball expert, the penalty-taker and the assist-maker.

Then there's the goals, a club record 226 of them to be precise, in just 380 games. And what a portfolio Henry built up during his eight years as Arsenal. Thumping drives, delicate chips, jinking runs, audacious backheels, even the odd header - the Frenchman had a myriad of ways to find the net.

Everyone has their own Henry highlights but here's just a few to whet the appetite: that flick-up and lob over Fabien Barthez, the slaloming run against Liverpool, the 60-yard surge against Spurs, that cheeky clip against Charlton, that beauty in the Bernabeu. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

And remember, Henry wasn't even a bonafide striker when he arrived at Highbury in the summer of 1999. Remember when he came off the bench for his debut against Leicester and threatened the North Bank regulars with his scattergun shooting? Surely Henry wasn't the natural replacement for Nicolas Anelka?

Arsène Wenger thought otherwise and, with the help of his eager French student, transformed Henry from erratic winger into striker extraordinaire. Henry took nine games to open his Arsenal account but a brace against Derby announced his arrival as a decent finisher. By the end of the season he was scoring at will and within a few years he was regarded as the best striker in the world. The North Bank could stop ducking and start celebrating.

They had plenty to celebrate too as Henry's goals came hand in hand with trophies. There were disappointments at first - the Uefa Cup and the FA Cup slipped agonisingly through Arsenal's grasp at the turn of the century - but a Double in 2002 made amends. Henry's contribution was emphatic: 32 goals in all competitions.

The Frenchman raised the bar even higher in the following two campaigns. Arsenal had to settle for the FA Cup in 2003 but 42 goals, 23 assists and both Player of the Year awards summed up just how influential Henry had become. He scooped both awards in 2004 as well and contributed 39 goals as Arsenal completed an unbeaten title season. Of all the 'Invincibles', Henry was surely the most indispensable.

In hindsight, this was probably Henry's prime and he can count himself unlucky to miss out on the FIFA World Player of the Year award in 2003 and 2004, finishing runner-up on both occasions. The Frenchman was unplayable at times, capable of scoring from anywhere and terrorising defences all over the continent, especially when he drifted out left to pick up possession and run at retreating opponents.

As football became increasingly big business, Henry became the Arsenal 'brand'. This attractive, charismatic figurehead was now a global superstar, admired by all and feared by opponents. He even received standing ovations at away grounds and had a special affinity with Portsmouth's fans after sporting a Pompey shirt after an FA Cup tie at Fratton Park. Rival fans wished he was theirs, but Henry was ours.

Patrick Vieira's surprise departure in the summer of 2005 took Henry onto an even higher plain - he was now Arsenal captain. He celebrated in style, eclipsing the Club's scoring record with a brace at Sparta Prague in October of that year. Henry had learned so much about forward play from Ian Wright; now he was leaving the ultimate finisher in his wake.

Two League titles, two FA Cups, four Golden Boots, five Player of the Year awards and that Club record represented a major haul, but one thing was missing from Henry's CV. The Champions League had eluded him and his wait goes on after an agonising defeat in the 2006 Final. If Henry could replay one moment in his career again, it might be that one-on-one in the second half in Paris. A goal then could have put the game beyond Barcelona's reach.

Barcelona is, of course, where Henry now plies his trade. But he will always be an Arsenal man. Last year the fans voted for their Gunners' Greatest Moments and Henry was involved in five of the top 10, so it's no surprise that he tops this summer's poll. Of all the great Gunners, Henry is the greatest.

The Arsenal Clock

The Arsenal clock famously graced Highbury for over 70 years. First erected in the 1930/31 season, it was one of the many features of Highbury instigated by ‘the great innovator’ Herbert Chapman.

Originally the clock provided supporters with a 45 minute count down, but the football association believed this undermined the match officials and the Club soon changed the clock to a conventional timepiece.

It was first positioned on the north stand, then known as the 'Laundry End' but it was eventually moved to the south stand then the 'College End' in 1935 when the North Bank was covered. Over the years it has become synonymous to that stand with most people now referring to ‘The Clock End’.

For the past decade, esteemed clock makers and maintainers Smith of Derby have been charged with the upkeep of the Gunners’ clock, ensuring it remains in good condition and of course keeps time accurately.

Smith of Derby have continued their traditional links with the Club by building a superb replica of our famous clock which takes pride of place in Emirates Stadium's 'Diamond Club'. The clock is a half-size replica of the original, measuring 1.3m in diameter as opposed to the original’s 2.6 metres.

The original clock from the Clock End stand at Highbury has been installed at Emirates Stadium and now sits high up on the outside of the stadium appropriately facing the Clock End Bridge as a symbolic reminder of the Club’s time at Highbury.

The Clock, which is three metres in diameter, was originally put into position in the North Bank at Highbury on August 28th 1928 but moved to the south terracing in 1935 when the North Bank was redeveloped and roofed. The south stand subsequently became known as the Clock End and the Clock became a famous icon for Arsenal and its Highbury home.

Ken Friar, long standing Arsenal Director, commented; “Throughout the move to Emirates Stadium, the Club always felt that it was important to supporters and everyone involved with the Club that parts of Highbury and the Club’s history, that are so intrinsic to Arsenal, were brought along to our new home. We hope that supporters will enjoy seeing the famous Clock when they visit the stadium for many, many years to come.”

The Clock, which was taken down from Highbury on July 27th 2006, was lifted into place by a 25 tonne crane and took four people, nine hours to install.
