As most of the world know right know, Thierry Henry has agreed to move to Barcelona. Both clubs and player has agreed to the move and only medicals and minor formalities has to be carried out and finalised. Yes, finally, it has happened, after months, maybe even years of specultion every summer, Henry has finally call it a day at Arsenal. Arsenal never liked players over the age of 30..hahaha( not really, just a hit at their one year contract policy for player over the age of 30) Henry is going over that magical 30 next season.
Henry will move in a deal expected to be worth 16 million pounds. In my books that is good business for a 29 year old who did not play much football last season. So we cant realy mention anything about his form or his playing level now. At Barca, Henry is set to earn a wage of 130,000 pounds per week. (US$300,000/SG$400,000)
The departure of David Dein and doogedd interest and pursuing done by Joan Laporta has been quoted as the main reason for his departure. Henry has been described to have extremely good relations with David Dein. DAvide Dein's son was Henry's best man during his wedding in 2003. Lack of silverware and progress by the team has also been reported as reasons for his departure.
