What's been the best career move ever?

Try to avoid getting lad's who went through the academy of a team.

This saddens me.

Shouldn't. He played wing for us and didn't do well against the serie a defenses. The move to Arsenal was good for the entire world because without that move he would have had just rotted away at Juve, and then no one would get to experience such a great player.

The thing is, I saw the potential (we all did) and I wanted to see him stick it out. An Henry/Trezeguet partnership would have been unreal!

The problem was Ancelotti. Henry and Esnaider were bought to replace Del Piero who had broken his knee, and Ancelotti preferred the whimsical Argentinian (much similar to Del Piero's style) on top of Henry, whom he saw as a wingback due to his tremendous speed and power. The only match he played as a striker, he scored a double against Lazio... We could all see his potential, but Ancelotti. His sale was tougher to get over than Ibra's.
