The King Returns Home: Goodbye and Hello

"Finally the king has returned" I thought to myself. I was back in England, I was back in North London and more importantly I was back home.

I was very sad about my hero Arsene Wenger's resignation as he transformed into one of the best players the world has ever seen, but I guess one day you'll have to save a final goodbye like I did when I joined Barcelona, but now, I'm back and I owe this club everything.

nice introduction but to make it more interesting maybe a picture of the king himself would have been an idea and the use of headlines but your story just giving you advice

We can now confirm that Arsene Wenger has handed in his resignation. We wish him all the best and we thank him for everything he has done for the club.

However, we are glad to announce that Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has taken over and is now the new Arsenal FC manager.

I'll quickly add that now , thanks

The team was buzzing, I could tell that they were excited to have me as their manager. Players such as Giroud and Walcott would always come to me and ask for advice with shooting and other aspects strikers must be good at. This season we were going to work hard, the horrible trophy drought was coming to an end. We will win the double.

The London Colney training ground was beautiful to the eye. It had state of the art facilities, there's nothing you won't find there.



While I was playing at the club we never had these facilties!

Our first friendly game is against Dumbarton in 7 days. Games like this allow me to play youngsters and to see who deserves a place in the squad.

We are proud to announce the signing of the following players:

Asmir Begovic: Begovic has been bought to keep our current first team keeper Wojech on his toes and to challenge him for a place in the first team.



Phil Jagielka: Jagielka has been bought to strengthen our back line, especially after the sale of Metesacker to PSG. His experience will hopefully help us.



Kaka: The Brazilian veteran has been bought to add some class to the midfield and to replace Aaron Ramsey who has been sold to PSG with a buy back clause of 15,000,000.



We will not be making anymore signings and we're looking forward to the new season.

R(Reporter) Th(Thierry Henry)]

R: Hello guys I'm here with the boss Thierry Henry, Thierry, how would you say the teams pre-season was?

Th: Hello, err, we had a very good pre-season, we only lost one match which was 5-3 against Barcelona so, we did very well and we're ready for the new season.

R: Many Arsenal fans are keen to know why you sold Ramsey with a buy-back clause, are you planning to re-sign him?

Th: Yes, Ramsey has massive potential and this is more or less a loan to a very experience PSG side. I will be re-signing Aaron, however I won't be re-signing per.

R: Do you have any aims for the current season, or is it the normal top 4 wins us a trophy nonsense Wenger use to say?

Th: Before I answer that question please respect Wenger, he is a great man and manager and too many people forget what he did for the club. Our aim is to win the double. That is very possible.

R: Wenger often tended to bring in youngsters, will you be doing the same?

Th: Definitely, you always have to plan for the future! I have a few players in mind and that's what scouts are for they go around the world identifying talents, and at Arsenal we tend to look for new talents as its easier/ unknown talents as its easier to snap them up.

R: Reports say you're interested in Raphael Varane is that true?

Th: Who is that?

PRE SEASON RESULTS:











We also lost to Barca 5-3.

Just to let you know the season is about to start so I'll be updating monthly.

Interesting that you let Aaron Ramsey go but it might end up being an amazing deal for you if you can get him back in the future for £15 million. What are your hopes for the season? Just another standard Champions League qualification for Arsenal?

With the Ramsey deal, once I see he's about to hit his peak, I'll resign him. We are pushing for the title this year and we want to win the double.

AUGUST UPDATE

August saw us play 2 games in total and both were in the barclays premier league.

Our first game of the season was against Everton. This was a very tough match but we did deserve to win the game. Unfortunately we didn't as we drew 2-2.



Our next game saw us take on a young Wigan side, we controlled the game but failed to take many chances. Thankfully we won 1-0

SEPTEMBER UPDATE

September was a very good month for us, we didn't lose one game which is good especially as we played very tough opposition, not only in the premier league but also in the champions league.

Here are our September results:

R: Theo you must be enjoying your time this season, you're constantly on the scoresheet and you're really starting to develop as a player!

TW: Yeah I really am enjoying my time here, I'm playing well, the team is playing well and we're picking up points which is the most important thing, King Thierry is doing a brilliant job *laughs*

R: Speaking of King Thierry, has does it feel playing under such a legend, especially as you inherited his No.14 shirt.

TW: I can't even explain, its amazing, playing under such a man who has done so much for the club, because of him the morale is high and everyone is happy he took the job, and for me I've played with him and also played under him which is quite astonishing!

R: Now where do you prefer to play down the wing or upfront?

TW: I think I prefer playing down the middle but I do enjoy playing on the right wing. I don;t want to be a player who just has pace, I want to be able to score and assist game in, game out

R: You're friend Oxlade Chamberlain is another player really starting to develop and starting to mature but he's still 19! What do you think about him?

TW: Ox is a good lad, very quick and powerful too. He's so humble which helps him learn. He will be the worlds best player at some point.

You have had some good results King Thierry
