Eduardo: I'm not Henry
Eduardo da Silva has stated that he is not the replacement for Thierry Henry.
Though the Brazilian is very well aware of the high expectations placed on his shoulders.
Eduardo told Arsenal magazine: "I don't think anyone can fill Henry's boots.
"A player who does as much for Arsenal as Henry did will only come around once every 50 years.
"It will be impossible for me to do what he did. All I can hope to do is please the club, the coach and the fans."
Eduardo is very well aware that the style of play in the Premier League will be a lot different to what he is used to.
"English football is faster and more physical and the quicker I adapt, the better," he said.
"I'm a player that likes to do my bit, who the coach can tell what to do, and does it with speed and strength.
"I'm a player who runs a lot, is disciplined and who scores. I've played centre-forward but now play more on the left or right. I'm a team player and will always run back to mark.
"My style is closer to the Europeans - not like Robinho or one of these Brazilian players that like to dribble a lot."
Eduardo also added that he was excited to perform well under Arsène Wenger and has said; "Arsène Wenger is very good. People say he is the best coach in the world."

It's good that Eduardo is a team player, but we will need flair up front and I don't know if Van Persie and do it alone.

Win 1 or 2 Champions Leagues with this team and it won't matter anymore. This is what the GREAT Henry failed to do.

Right! Almost everyone know that Henry is very hard to replace, but I think Eduardo is one of the best person to do that. He is very good, but maybe one more striker? Eduardo need time.
