It has been known for friends to beg him to let them go home. 'You must come soon, I am going to beat you,' he threatens.
Excellent to see, hopefully next season they will hit it off, if those two could work together to good effect consistently, Premiership Defenses won't know what to do next seasonHenry is one of my best friends in the squad. He speaks a bit of Spanish too and I speak a bit of English. I spend lots of time with him and with Vieira. It is fantastic to be so close to Henry, I look at him and learn movements, technical gestures, and attitude. I don't think by a long way we have seen the best of me. I tend to watch carefully Thierry.

We have plenty of those. The most obvious being Kolo Toure.shaz said:"The rest of the time, he takes his English lessons and plays football on his PlayStation,"
this dude lives and breaths football.. how can you not have someone like that. ;D
Excuse me while I laugh:
'[Thierry] Henry is, along with Lauren, one of my best friends in the squad. He speaks a bit of Spanish too and I speak a bit of English. I spend lots of time with him and with Vieira. It is fantastic to be so close to Henry, I look at him and learn movements, technical gestures, and attitude. I don't think by a long way we have seen the best of me. I tend to watch carefully Thierry and van Nistelrooy. All forwards have something to learn from those two.'
Who else finds that funny?
JazzG said:Fantastic interview, especially the part about Henry being one of his best friends. You wouldn't of thought so looking at them play together last season but I really hope this partnership develops, if it gels as quickly as I hope then I think we have a great chance of retaining the title and going that one step further in the CL. Good to see he watches RvN play carefully as well because he is another very clever striker. He also says everyone in the squad are equal and this should put to rest some myths about some players thinking they are bigger and better than others.
As many know I'm a big fan of his and was before he joined us, couldn't believe it when he did join us but now I'm hoping we see him fulfill his potential, because if he does we will simply have the most lethal partnership in Europe upfront.
patrick42uk said:agree. i too was a big fan of reyes pre-arsenal. the henry thing surprised me too. i'm hoping the differences last year was purely footballing, in that they needed time to adapt to each other's movement. he can learn from rvn definately. when we counter, the first thing you notice is how quickly reyes moves off the ball towards the goal. that aspect of his game is natural, but very raw. from someone like rvn he can learn to choose the direction of his runs better.
