At Least I Have a chance

To report the news, unlike Arsene Wenger who must now convince Thierry Henry not to leave for Barcelona and make the news! This is spin-control at its finest and everyone knows this. The two men stating that Henry wants to stay at Arsenal. Come on, do you take us for idiots.

Henry is a going, whether he knows it or not, and if I am Arsenal, I take the money. Moving into a new arena as they are next year, building a young team, Wegner would be silly not to cash in on his amazing 29 year-old striker. He'l be able to buy half the stars from League 1 as he likes to do with all the new cash. Which only leads us to this point, if Didier Drojba was bought for €44M, what is Henry worth? Although Aresnal will not be dealing with the idiotic business penchant of Peter Kenyon of Chelsea who can simply pay anything, in Barcelona thay have an active admirer and a person in president Joan Laporta who is keen on signing Henry like the did with Ronaldinho a few seasons ago. Laporta knows how to get his man and remember this, he passed on Beckham, which must mean he at least understands something about soccer. And while they will not break the bank to do it, I figure Henry, barring any major attack of conscience holding him to the London club and any serious injury, will be sold for about €20-€24 Euros(sorry, I do not feel like making the conversion to Pounds right now). As for the other days pending deals, here we go:

As reported last week on Azzurri Dreams, Christian Vieri will be officially unveiled as a Monaco player tomorrow.

Real Madrid defender Alvaro Mejia has been linked with a loan move to Blackburn. Rumor has he asked for Sir David's advice and Becks told him to move, as he'd be silly to pass away the opportunity to play along side Robbie Savage.

Manchester City will make a final £5m bid to land Steed Malbranque from Fulham.
