Record goalscorer set for third Gunners spell?

We thought the fairytale was complete. But not yet....not quite.

According to the BBC, Arsene Wenger is considering a January loan move for "King" Thierry Henry. The move would be a repeat of last year's six-week loan spell during the MLS off-season, in which Arsenal's record goalscorer and club legend returned to score twice, the first of which dramatically coming on his re-debut against Leeds in the FA Cup to give the Gunners victory.

Now, one year on and with the MLS season, in which Henry has not surprisingly starred considering his main competition comes from the likes of David Beckham and Robbie Keane, the now 35-year-old Frenchman is said to have contacted Wenger to see whether a third homecoming to North London is at all possible, particularly with the likes of Gervinho and (cough) Marouane Chamakh departing the club for the Africa Cup of Nations in early January.

Can the Henry fairytale continue, even at his grand old age of 35? Some may of course regard it as a backwards step for a club supposedly fighting on five trophy fronts (if you believe Arsene Wenger's claims that the fourth Champions League spot is a trophy...).

But really, to have a player out on the pitch playing professionally when he is also cast in a bronze statue right outside is just...well...very cool.
