Thierry Henry's replacement is not Thierry's replacement.

Eduardo Da Silva is not Thierry Henry, some may try to say that he is going to be a like for like replacement but this new player that Arsenal have just signed for half the fee from Henry's sale, is his own player and will make his own mark.
My opinion is that this player will chip in with at least 15 goals this season and it appears to me that he is the kind of player who is going to be in the right place at the right time. I think that this signing will force almost every player to step up their game and instead of relying on the 25 goals that Henry would have scored, now we will have a situation where each striker can get 10-15 goals. Wenger has always been loyal to his players so I see the starting strikers to be Van Persie and Adebayor, but make no mistake this player whilst not a big big signing, will make his own mark when given the chance. Even if the Croatian league is not of the highest standard this player has scored 34 goals last season and one of those against Arsenal. I hope that he can get 15 goals and maybe even 20.
Henry has left and his stature as a world class player and a senior player often inhibited the other younger players and now that he is no longer there the players that are left can now play a lot more freely and make their own mistakes and play well. Wenger will sign another player or two but the start of the premier season will be viatal and Arsenal must start well. It is unrealistic to see them as winning the premier league but progress would be second or third place. Some fear that Tottenham or Newcastle will threaten this may be true. Liverpool have signed Torres....a great player but way too much money paid. So Arsenal have a tough season ahead but the kids now must stand on their own unaided by bigger players. For what it is worth Gilberto must now be captain, he showed his qualities last season in this capacity. Eduardo will take a few games to settle but he is a different option to what Henry was.
