Guest Pie Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Just been on talksport about him Francefootball.fr or something like that have put up a story about it. +zoom the French attacker found an agreement with Barcelona on the basis of contract a three year old for what can become the transfer of the year. Still miss the green light of Arsenal where it had prolonged until 2011. "Henry very close to Barcelona", it is what reveals France Football in its number to appear this Tuesday. In the article of Paco Aguilar, the correspondent of Bi-hebdo in Barcelona, appears a beam of indices incentive to think that the arrival of the attacker of Arsenal in Spain seems from now on imminent. After the recent declarations of international French who let plane a doubt about his future at the "Gunners", an important stage was reached last week at the time of the meeting between the agent of the player, Jerome Anderson and the sporting director of Barça, Txiki Beguiristain. An agreement would have been reached at the end of this exchange between the two parts, on the basis of contract of three years (more one year in option) and incomes of ten million euros per season, superiors of almost 40% with those currently touched by Thierry Henry in Arsenal. If the transfer appears in very good way, all the questions are not solved for as much. It is not at all in the intention of the English club to let leave its striker high-speed motorboat under contract until June 2011 without requiring a strong sum. The year spent, it had been question of 40 million euros; today, with the approach of about thirty, Thierry Henry always represents much money, and it is not known as only the 25 million euros that Barcelona wants to propose in Arsenal is sufficient. The business which had failed one year ago in any case left well to be concluded this time, as of the moment when the French is decided to break the bond with Arsenal which it had joined in 1999. Thats what Babelfish translated from the story on Francefootball.fr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even players at the top clubs seem to be able to do what they want. You may be right though. Sounds dodgy at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatTheFunk Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Maybe he's buying out his own contract under the new rulings should Arsenal not strike a deal with Barca? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Main headline on the France Football magazine was that he's agreed a 3-year deal for a fee of €25m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 If the Arsenal walk away with £18m then they've done extremely well out of this. They'll need to replace his 25 goals per season but Wenger can stretch £18m a long way imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LFEE Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Maybe he's buying out his own contract under the new rulings should Arsenal not strike a deal with Barca? He just signed a new contract not long ago so will have approx 3yrs on it... so i think that rules that out? You can only do it in the final year of the contract i believe...?

They'll need to replace his 25 goals per season but Wenger can stretch £18m a long way imo. I'd say it's the assists as well though mate that he brings to the team as well. Don't know how he'd fit in unless Eto'o actually goes mind. Saying that personally I don't feel Henry should have ever been made captain of Arsenal as he's an appauling leader.

They'll need a top class finisher and someone to create. Having said that, I'm expecting Rosicky to step up next season and have more of an impact. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they go for Owen tbh... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliMag Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Bellamy to Arsenal? I'd say it's more likely to be Trezeguet. Why not both? - probably can do both for less than 18m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Knightrider Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 They will struggle to replace Henry, he isn't just their main goal getter or talisman, he defines Arsenal in every sense, how they play. There is no other player quite like Henry in the game, he's a one-off. Great player and I'd be sad to see him go. That said, if any manager can do it Wenger can. However I think this is the beginning of the end for him at Arsenal if Henry does leave. I think he'll give it one more season. If I was the FA I'd give him full control of English football from top to bottom and hand him an open chequebook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
