Henry Says His Heart Is Still With Arsenal

January 10, 2008

After transferring to Spain at a 16-million-pound-worth deal, ex-Arsenal Thierry Henry admitted that he dreams of playing for Arsenal again. According to him, being in the club is in his blood and that he looks forward to playing for them again in the future. The Barcelona striker is eager to return to a team that has been so dear to his heart– maybe not today or the not-so-distant future, but in the future, at least

Last June 2007, he unexpectedly had to make a transfer. After eight memorable years with Arsenal, He was transferred to FC and penned a four-year deal for a reported £4.6 million per season. It was also reported that the contract incorporated a release part of £84.9 million.

According to him, he will never have the same affection he received from Arsenal, perhaps because he never stayed with a team longer than eight years. Also, his feel won’t let him. Henry’s 06–07 season was spoiled by injuries. Though he scored 10 out of 17 goals in domestic games for Arsenal, his season was cut short in the month of February.

With Barcelona, right after the transfer, Henry used the given number 14 by the team as he used in Arsenal. He has performed well by scoring his first goal for Spain on September 2007 in a Champions League game against Olympique Lyonnais. They won at 3-0.

It could be that Henry is regretting his move to Barcelona after divulging his sentiments with the press. His departure has somewhat been beneficial to the team since more talented young players are given the chance to play, although he played really well with Arsenal. Question is, will the fans give him a warm welcome if ever he comes back?
