Henry’s commitment to Arsenal the real victory for Wenger

NOBODY at Highbury could have dreamed that this FA Cup weekend would turn into one of the most historical days in their animated past, but the signal from Thierry Henry that he wants to remain at the club for the rest of his career will forever be remembered by everybody in football.

The Frenchman has ended months of speculation over a move to Spanish side Barcelona by committing his future to Arsenal, and now manager Arsene Wenger can concentrate on building a new side around his talismanic forward.

If Henry had decided to leave north London in favour of new heights, it would have been a major blow for everybody involved with Arsenal Football Club.
