Fed-up Henry casts doubt over his Arsenal future

Thierry Henry has cast doubt on his future at Arsenal by leaving open the possibility of a transfer this summer. Two months after saying that he intended to finish his career at the club, the striker went no further yesterday than saying: "For now I'm an Arsenal player."
Henry was responding to a question, during a promotional tour in Beijing, about suggestions he may leave for Barcelona, who hope to buy him. He noted separately that there has been "a lot of stuff happening at the club recently", which includes the departure of David Dein, the former vice-chairman, and made clear his disillusionment with Arsenal's Premiership placings over the past two years.
"This year it was pretty difficult to see once again that we finished so far behind the top teams," he said, adding: "I'm actually getting annoyed that we're finishing at the end of the top four."
He believes the squad lacks experience: "Sometimes having a lot of youngsters in your squad you cannot have the same spirit or the same result that you had the year we stayed unbeaten [in the league]. We had guys who had been in the game for 15 or 10 years and who had won a lot."

He's been saying it for a couple of years now and it looks like he is fed up, these comments are pretty explicit of that... Henry's Arsenal future I think will be sorted in a months time. If Arsenal make indications they're trying to sign experienced players he might stay, otherwise he could well leave...
[before people dismiss this they should probably read his quotes]
