Sir Alex Ferguson to make bid for Thierry Henry

Dave Cohen - 10 August 2008 21:08

Thierry Henry currently of FC Barcelona

Don’t be surprised if we see Thierry Henry in the Manchester line up to play against Newcastle United this coming Sunday at Old Trafford.

It appears as though the Dimitar Berbatov deal with Tottenham Hotspur has reached an impasse and Sir Alex has turned his attention towards the unsettled Thierry Henry. The former Arsenal striker did not enjoy the happiest of seasons at the Nou Camp with FC Barcelona and could welcome the move.

Next Sunday will be Henry’s thirty first birthday.

He has always been admired by Sir Alex who could be making a bid of around ₤20 million.

If this deal goes through it'll be the best thing to happen to Barca since they won the CL.

This signing wouldn't be as bad as most people think, admittedly he is past his best but he still a remarkable player, as they say "form is temporary, class is permanent". I think he would have a similar effect as Larsson did a couple of seasons ago, plus I would pay £40 million just to see the look on the gooners face when their messiah runs onto the pitch as a Red Devil... PRICELESS!

Huntelaar wants to be at United...I think he'd have been the perfect answer to their current striker shortage.

Unfortunately, I don't think Berbatov will be at United. The Norwegian paper that started the transfer rumor recanted and apologized for starting it...

If Henry was a Red Devil, then opposing defenses would try to blanket him along with CR, allowing Rooney and Tevez to eat them alive...or they might just focus on CR, allowing all three strikers to score ravenously.

...or the world might implode and MU become Liverpool supporters. C'mon get real.

Berbatov has officially requested a transfer; he has been quoted in this mornings British papers that it is his dream to play for United. Spurs have now resigned to the fact that they are to lose the Bulgarian striker and are seriously considering an improved offer of £25 million from Old Trafford!
