Not a chance. The Barca front 3 are a more complete team then they where previously.
Why did they let Henry leave on a free transfer after paying 24 million euro's for him after only 3 seasons and swap Eto'o for Ibrahimovic?
Do you know more than Gaurdiola now? there you go again no real opinion just hiding behind this idea that the manager always knows best. henry was old and pep loves pedro, managed him in the b team and brought him up into the first team and henry wasn't willing to play a bit part so he has no choice but to leave that dosen't change the fact that henry was very, very good and very important at barce for 2 seasons. and the eto'o swap for imbrhimovic was awful thats why ibrehimovic was given back to italy after one season of witch he barely played in the second half. eto'o left because he wasn't the best player to have around the likes of messi and pedro. not because of his talent as a footballer henry had one great season at barca (08/09), he was ok the season before that one and awful during his last season. there were clearly some problems in the dressing room regarding etoo, otherwise they wouldn't have sold him. ibra didn't play much the 2nd half of the season due to injuries. don't forget that villa only managed to score one goal more than ibra did in their first seasons for barca.

Teddy Sheringham was always a player I loved to watch. Fantastic english footballer and seemed to get better with age. Also enjoyed Klinsmann on his day.
For me though my fave player to watch was Henry, utterly amazing talent.

You've lost it if you think Wenger has lost it. The only reason Veira, Henry & Campbell became the players they were was because of Wenger.
Henry and Eto'o arent in the same class as David Villa. Do you mean David Villa is a better striker than both Eto and Henry? If so, I have to say you are very wrong, while all 3 of these strikers would walk into any team in the world right now, I would say Eto and Henry have an exeptionally higher raw talent and both are more entertaining then Villa to watch and also have scored more goals throughout their careers.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

In my opinion villa is a out and out striker while Henry is a drifter/winger striker. Villa's finishing is better but Henry is better at dribbling running at players and linking up play. But that does not mean villa is any less of a player.
When you compare the two barca teams the current one is more complete simply because messi is now a better player and is able to link up better with iniesta and xavi. Etoo and Henry tried to play the football his barca team play today. Does this make them lesser players? I don't think so.
On to Wenger to me he is a great manager except he came up against the very best. A little like roger federer and nadal on clay. The history books will show that nadal won but does this mean that federer is not a good on clay? But I do admit he has lots his way over the last few seasons so this one is gonna be big for him. By far they play the best and most attractive football in the league and on their day they destroy everyone. My only wish for arsenal is that they stop overplaying in the final third.

henry was top goal scorer in his first season, why isn't that a great season? new team, new country, new language and he went from being a legend at a club to being just another player so i would consider his first season also very good.
ok maybe you can say his first season was also a very good one aswell....
and ibra didn't play in the second half of the season for 2 reasons 1, he moves like the Q.E 2. and 2, he wanted to be treated like messi and didn't like he wasn't the star. so basically he's an average player probably the most overrated player out there and he has an ego twice as big as his talent.
....but the so called "average player" and "most overrated" player scored 21 goals in 41 games in his first season (new language,country for him as well) compared with 19 in 47 for henry. but in some way he's still the most overrated player
