Keegan: I Want To Sign Henry
-
Newcastle United manager Kevin Keegan has revealed he will try to tempt Barcelona striker Thierry Henry back to England this summer.
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." -

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..
