Spanish Primera Liga champions Barcelona are in talks with Arsenal captain and star French striker Theirry Henry, according to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, which quoted what it called a reliable Barca source saying that they were in talks with Henry.
If the French striker, who has already sworn the rest of his career to Arsenal, does go to Barca, it will be for a huge transfer fee, and will add to the club's already formidable offensive players.
Lionel Messi is extremely promising and Sameul Eto'o and Ronaldinho have already proven themselves as brilliant players with a great eye for goal. Adding Henry to this list would probably make Barca invincible offensively. The only other superstars they would lack then are Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney and Didier Drogba.
However, Henry has repeatedly said asserted his desire to remain at Arsenal, so it does not seem likely.
Arsenal suffered at the end of the season due to Henry's injury, and failed to score on several occasions, a highly unusual predicament for the club that was undefeated in the Premiership in the 2003-04 season. They went without any trophies again, two years in a row. They lost in the League Cup finals to Chelsea, lost in the 5th round of the FA Cup, finished 4th in the league, and were knocked out of the Champions League in the round of 16.
