After all, they still have Eto'o, Gudjonssen, Messi and Ronaldinho.

They'll play about 70 matches next season. They need depth, and lots of it -- and they've lost Saviola, they're going to lose Giuly, and I don't think they want to rely on Gudjohnsen, who didn't exactly impress last season. I would be shocked if Palacio were a regular starter ahead of a healthy Henry.
