Henry insists the club have no interest in signing players "of a certain age" and reassured fans over future arrivals.
Liverpool have made one big-money signing already this summer with the arrival of 21-year-old midfielder Jordan Henderson from Sunderland, but 30-year-old Manchester City left-back Wayne Bridge is now OFF their radar ... even though Kenny Dalglish has shown interest.
Henry, though, has no plans to panic-buy and indicated that he was confident deals will be completed before the close of the transfer window.
John Henry wrote on Twitter: "Speculation on players shouldn't include those of a certain age.
"We are not going to be successful by merely filling short-term needs at LFC.
"Everything in sports is overpriced now - especially the cost of winning.
"But you make your choices based on a plan.
"Some things happen early and some late. The important thing is that things happen. Sometimes what you avoid is important."
Liverpool insist they will bring in a left-back before the start of the season and are expected to make a second bid for Enrique.

FOREWORD BY FAIRS CUP HERO JOHN McNAMEE
Sports Journalist Richie Everson: "At last a book that the fabulous Newcastle United fans can relate to. It's informative, all the facts and figures are there, plus the 120 match reports from all the fixtures ... but it is the articles by the supporters that amazed me.
"I went to many of those games, and this is the only book I can honestly say 'hits the nail on the head'!
"Yes we know the results and the scorers, but some of the facts in this book had me so wrapped up in it I couldn't put it down.
"Was Benny Arentoft cup-tied when he played in the final? Big Wyn and his battle with John McGrath; McFaul scoring a penalty when the crowd had gone home; the trouble in Palermo; it is all amazing stuff.
"I would honestly give this book 10 out of 10."
