Welbeck Wants To Emulate Henry At Arsenal

By -
New Arsenal striker, Danny Welbeck, says he wants to emulate Gunners legend Thierry Henry.

The 23-year-old joined Arsenal for £16 million on deadline after spending six years with Manchester United’s first team and says Henry is one of his two idols.
"I loved watching Thierry Henry since I was a little kid," Welbeck said.
"My two idols are Ryan Giggs and Thierry Henry so to come to the club where he was and had so much success at is something you can look up to and try to stamp your own print on the club.
"There's definitely competition and I think once you come to a big club, there is always going to be competition.
"Unfortunately there are a couple of injuries at the moment but I think once everyone is fighting fit, everybody will want to be on the pitch scoring goals and that's healthy competition for the squad."
Welbeck joins an Arsenal team that includes English national team players Jack Wilshere, Kieran Gibbs, Alex Oxalde-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott and Calum Chambers and he believes the Three Lions will benefit from this connection.
"It's going to be a massive positive for us," he added.
"We'll be seeing each other every single day and you obviously develop a much better understanding if you're working with one another on a consistent basis.
“That's something that will definitely benefit the England team."

Although tribal marks are becoming extinct because of the extant laws that forbid parents or anyone from marking a child’s face, tribal marks in the olden days were interesting features used to adorn the faces.

Gerald Mellin left a note with his funeral wishes, the inquest heard A depressed businessman going through a divorce decapitated himself by tying a rope to a tree and driving away in his open-top car, an inquest has heard. Gerald Mellin, 54, of Neath, showed the rope to his 33-year-old wife two weeks earlier when he had asked her to quit their business and their farmhouse. He cancelled his life insurance and ran up debts because he wanted to leave her "with nothing," the hearing was told. Swansea coroner Phillip Rogers recorded a verdict of suicide. Mr Mellin's widow Mirrielle told the hearing she had won a court order the day before her husband's suicide for an extra £100 a week from him to help with the running of the house.
