It was reported last week that Thierry Henry had decided to move to the New York Red Bulls in the American MLS after the World Cup, but now West Ham have stepped in to try and bring the Arsenal legend back to London.

The West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan has reportedly offer Henry two-year deal worth more than £7.5million, to persuade him to change his mind and prove he can still score goals in the Premier League. The contract is alleged to be worth £75,000 to Henry.

Sullivan said: “We’re trying to assemble a more prolific strike force at West Ham and I’d love to have Henry here. .......Read the full article here

There is another good selection of Arsenal transfer rumours coming in today, and this time we have THREE goalkeepers on the list. I suppose because Lukasz Fabianski has come under fire again after yesterdays defeat to Blackburn, the papers are absolutely determined to put every available goalkeeper in the world in the frame for a move to the Emirates.

Joe Hart has been linked for a while now, but I seriously can’t see Man City selling him now that he has gained some Premiership experience at Birmingham, especially now they have seen the need for a competent substitute for Given. .......Read the full article here

Andrei Arshavin, along with thousands of Arsenal fans, said at the beginning of the season that the Gunners were two or three players short of being World-beaters, but Arsene Wenger stuck to his guns and refused to invest any of his profit on some new blood.

That may have been his downfall as the usual injuries have severely weakened the team this season, but will he change the habits of a lifetime this summer? .......Read the full article here

The Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has named Thierry Henry in his 20 man squad to face Arsenal tomorow night, creating the possibility that the Arsenal legend could face his old club for the first time since he left England in 2007.

With Iniesta being ruled out with a hamstring injury, it means that Henry’s chances of playing has been increased, and considering that he was rested in this weekends game against Mallorca, along with Lionel Messi, Gerrard Pique and Xavi, perhaps all four of them will be starting on Tuesday at the Emirates. .......Read the full article here

The furore over Arsenal-legend Thierry Henry’s deliberate handball against Ireland will not be going away any time soon, but FIFA have ruled out any possibility of a replay, despite everyone asking them to bend the rules, including Henry.

The Republic manager Giovanni Trapattoni has derided FIFA for ignoring the calls for “fair play”.

“I would like to know what I have done to Blatter. If he explains it then at least I would be calm. I go to schools and speak of fair play, but perhaps I am a dreamer,” he said. .......Read the full article here

The Arsenal legend Thierry Henry says his France team-mates must forget about all the media build-up, and the reported “insult” scandal at the end of the first leg in Ireland.

He expects Ireland to play with their usual heart and soul, but doesn’t expect any serious “revenge” tactics from the Irish.

“They are a team that will play, as they usually do, to their abilities and aggressively in the proper sense.”

“The hardest thing will be to finish the job,” .......Read the full article here

The Arsenal winger Theo Walcott played his first game of the season (as a substitute) in yesterday’s 6-2 win over Blackburn, and was full of praise for Cesc Fabregas, who had a hand in most of yesterdays goals, even scoring himself.

“He is fantastic to play with,” Walcott said today.

“He will spot anything. He played the ball to me for my goal and I didn’t have to break my stride. That’s how good he is. He takes that much time to pass it.

“He is still so young and he has a lot of pressure on his shoulders but he is a fantastic person to learn from. .......Read the full article here

Good old Thierry Henry still believes that Arsene Wenger can steer Arsenal to the Premiership title, despite selling their top striker.

The Gunners legend knows that Wenger has a habit of selling his top players (like himself!) but still bringing youngsters through to replace them. He knows that whoever Wenger brings into the team will still make them strong enough to challenge for trophies.

Henry said: “Arsène and Arsenal have proven so many times they can win without spending a lot of money. People talk about the top four but the only thing that matters to me is who is going to be top, and I know that’s how Arsène sees it as well. .......Read the full article here
