He has a I think one or two PK goals, and another off a free kick. I don't think it would take much observance to see that Henry is off form this year.

PKs and free kicks still count as goals. I would be more then willing to bet that by the end of the season, Henry has 20+ league goals. Strikers go through lean spells. Henry will fully heat up at some point and will go on a goal scoring tear

[ThaSaltCracka]

TOAFK, you are absolutely right.

KDawg, I know that PK and free kicks are counted as goals, I also know my name and where I live.

My point being that Henry has been off form, and for a team that seems to lack some scoring, part of the blame has to fall on him. But maybe I am being too hard on him, and expectations are high.

[New001]

Lumping regular goals and penalty kicks together is faulty in my opinion. They should be kept completely separate. Free kicks are fair game though and important to include.

[ThaSaltCracka]

New001, good point. Free kick goals are pretty damn impressive. PK goals are silly though. Might as well as give someone 2 pts for a free throw.

rumors:

ManU decide not to sign Adu, and apparently Fulham will have another American soon....Dempsey...

[New001]

Man U find a 4th striker. Only it's a little baffling to me why they'd choose him over whatever other options are out there.

[Topnoevili]

I don't get it either... he was obv a fantastic striker back in the day but should not be considered ManU quality at this point in his career... though our squad is light right now I can't see him being a viable option should the injury prone pair of Saha/ Ole go down *please no*

also Rossi's loan is only until January 1... so I would definitely expect him to be back at OT... and making a bigger impact than Larsson... Newcastle has been a total disaster for the kid and I hope he gets a chance at OT to show what he's got...


Red Army!

edit: having a player of his caliber and experience in big games will be a big asset... also just looked at the deal again and it appears that he'll be leaving March 13? wtf that is like 2 months and change I wonder if there is enough time to gel with the squad...

[PITTM]

rossi is def coming back. sir fergie has reportedly been quite upset at his lack of playing time at newcastle.
