Old is Gold for slipping Giants

After the great Thierry Henry`s sensational return to Arsenal it is another legend ,Paul Scholes ,who is preparing to return for Manchester United.

Earlier ,Arsenal has secured loan move for Henry as Gervinho and Chamakh are leaving for Africa cup of nations and Henry has rejoined on short term loan deal as a backup of two.Certainly ,It will be a boost for gunners but there is little chance as few saying that Henry might overshadow likes of RVP and Walcott.Everyone has a great expectation from him but we know that he is not same as he was at 24 and he is has nothing to prove.Henry has warned Arsenal fans over inflated expectation.He said`I am not 25 anymore. I am not going to take the ball from the middle of the park and dribble past five or six players. If you look at Ryan Giggs, it’s not the same Ryan Giggs who used to take the ball from the wing. He is always available, he puts himself in a position where he can receive the ball alone and then you will never lose your touch. That’s what I am going to try to bring to this team if I have to play`. Whatever he says but he is Thierry Henry and expectations are going to be there.Let`s see how it goes.
After this unreal loan deal ,It is believed that Scholes had decided to come to rescue Manchester United from injury crisis.According to reports earlier Scholes has rejected the idea of returning but later he has changed his mind ans said request from 70 year old SAF can prompt another sensational return in BPL history.It is believed that fitness is not going to be a problem as veteran is training every day at Carrington.Scholes`s potential return has already raised eyebrows of rivals.

After successive losses to Blackburn and Newcastle, once again the issue of United's squad is the subject of hot debate amongst Red Devils supporters.

Midfield is an obvious area of concern, which has only heightened since the retirement of Paul Scholes and subsequent long-term absences of Tom Cleverley and Darren Fletcher.
