Well I for one really hope he doesn't leave.
He's vital to our system and to the team. Him and Mercier are the reason we are doing so well.
His stats says a lot, but he's more than just a goalscoring machine imo. Really good with his back to the goal, impressive in the build up and never stops running.
Would he do well in La Liga? I'm not sure. Our competition isn't like yours obviously and there isn't a lot of pressure at OHL other than avoid relegation. The team was flying last season, so we didn't have a bad period where he could have stepped up.
All in all, I love having him at OHL and if he were to leave I would think he would do well.
Thanks for the input, over all seems like a good option if the pricetag is decent. We basically need someone who can score, which was our main problem last season, and pretty much the only reason we didn't completely stomp Segunda and had to settle with second place due to the goal difference tiebreak with Espanyol.
We're currently looking into several options. Our main target is Simy, who scored 20 goals in freshly relegated Crotone, but he obviously has better offers. Henry is option number two according to reliable sources here... while we're also considering Giakoumakis (scored 26 in another freshly relegated team, VVV-Venlo), Djuka (from Sporting de Gijón, who scored 22 last season in Segunda), as well as some less interesting (but cheaper) strikers.
