There has been much debate about the potential of Arsenal now that Thierry Henry has signed to Barcelona. Sceptics point to the assured 20 goals Henry scored a season and optomists show the 06/07 season--largely played without their guiding light--as the beginning of a great new squad. Players such as Fabregas, Adebayor, Hleb, Rosicky, Kolo Toure, Gilberto, and a blossoming Clichy all showed their willingness to improve while Henry was on the bench with injury for most of the season.
In this video, look for a brilliant run and goal by Alexander Hleb at the 2:10 mark and a beautiful shot and goal by Van Persie at the 4 minute mark. That goal in particaulr is worth checking out in the reverse angle just to watch the movement of his feet around the ball.
It is, of course, to early to speculate on the possibilties for the Arsenal campaign, but with a renewed Van Persie, a more confident Fabregas and a young squad that improves every day, this team is showing that they may be putting up a fight for the title this year.
