The French international left the Premier League last summer, quitting Arsenal to move to Catalan giants Barcelona.
But
despite still being in with a chance of winning the league and
Champions League this season, Henry is still not thought to have
settled well in Spain.
It's not known whether the former
Gunner is angling for a move back to English football, but either way,
Keegan says it's definitely an option worth investigating.
"I would like to fetch Thierry Henry back to England," Keegan told Radio Newcastle. "He's the best player I've seen in the Premiership. When you're pitch-side, what I've seen him do to good players has been incredible. Sometimes you can take advantage of a situation and get what I call lucky.
Keegan is no stranger to big-name transfers: as manager of Newcastle
United in 1996 he spent a then-world record £15m to bring Alan Shearer
in from Blackburn Rovers. And if the money is available again, Keegan
says he has no problem with setting new landmarks.
"I'd like
to do what we did last time and surprise people. It would be nice to
break a world record," he said. "Why rule it out? I'd like to bring
players here that amaze
people and we stop just talking about being a big club - but, with our
actions, we show that we are.
Sometimes people limit themselves by saying, 'we can't do that'. You
say 'why not?' and they don't give you an answer.
"If we can get this club going in the right direction we have
the owner who will find us the money for these players. You start by
building up trust with the people who provide the finance that you can
find these players at the right price. It's easy to get players to a
club once it's flying in the right direction."
WOW!!!!!!!!!
aiya he want to sign but does henry even want a sh1t club like newcastle?
Yes! Bring Henry back... I like to watch him score against Arsenal... ![]()
i think most lilkely he will join chelsea , cos i jst read the source and it says that , tottenham , newcastle ,west ham and chelsea are aftering henry. And he misses his daughter whu is in london and chelsea is in london. so most likely he will move to chelsea. i cant imagine he join non champions league team espicially west ham , i would laugh if he is in west ham jersey or even newcastle or tottenham.

i dunno how he would wana risk his legendar status at arsenal..
perhaps joining a club like newcastle he wont lose it,but for him to join spurs or chelsea would be really hurting the fans..
not sure bout liverpool..
