Arsenal: Henry who?

He got a hatrick tonight, capped by one of the best goals for a while, and Samuel Eto’o was in a bullish mood before the game, stating that Arsenal’s Thierry Henry is no where near the player he is.

Henry is undoubtedly one of the greats of English football, and quite possibly one of the best centre forwards I have had the privilege to watch but that cuts no mustard with Eto’o, who is more than ready for the challenge stating:

“I couldn’t care less if Henry came to Barcelona,” said Eto’o.

“If he comes here, then good for him.

“If he wants to come here to play alongside me in attack, and the Coach thinks he’s could enough then that’s his problem. But as long as I’m here, I’ll play.
“Do you really think Henry could force me out of Barca?

“He could come here and sit on the bench. Some people think he’s better than me, others not. One thing is certain, as long as I’m a Barcelona player, I play!”
