This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I like Henry but if it will improve the team then transfer him.

I'm not sure how his leaving would improve the team. Henry has been and still is a great performer for Arsenal and I think they need him. I wonder if the rumour recently about some "disagreement" between him and the manager has more to it than first thought.

He would leave in exchange for $$$$ which the team could spend on other players to improve the team.

Selling Henry will be like the Queen selling the crown jewels.

The Daily Express is so often wrong about these rumours. I just don't see Henry leaving. Arsene Wenger's Arsenal has been built around him. The fans worship him. The team is great. He's making money.

If it's about winning trophies, he has every chance with Arsenal. Remember Vieira going on and on about winning titles and then leaving Arsenal only to not win anything since then.

Arsenal doesn't sell players for money. It would be extremely weird to sell their best asset just for money.

This rumor happens every transfer window. When the rumor started about Beckham in '03 , and the money number came out, I thought ManU would have been crazy not to take it. $100M for Zidane, crazy not to take it. But Henry at this age isn't going to get $100M and he has too much value on the pitch otherwise. Emirates Stadium had better bring in plenty of money, since that was the justification.

Of course, there are still 27 yank football team owners who don't own clubs in England yet so you never know.
