Milan have admitted that they once bid for Arsenal's Thierry Henry - but were rejected by the player himself. Henry, who has been long-linked with a move to Barcelona, had been lined-up as a summer transfer target for the European champions, with Carlo Ancelotti admitting recently that he was keen to sign the France forward.

If he's healthy why not? I have to admit he's dangerous and he can score out of the middle of nowhere. If Milan want to get a sole dribbler/poocher then he would be it. If they want a guy that dribbles it up and can score any which way then they should look to Higuin, Robihno, or Saviola (I'll make the call right now even if I'm wrong later on-this guy will be the steal of the year or close to it!).

All signs point to Henry leaving Arsenal -- man basically said it on Sky last week. Milan or Barca are going to get a hungry striker.

Sorry -- no idea why my comment went up twice.

he wont be leaving arsenal. not yet. he will go with Wenger and Fabregas to Barcelona next year after his contract is up. Wenger has stated he will see out his contract. If they do not win the CL, he will leave for Barca and take Henry, Fabregas and probably one or 2 others with him. If they do win the CL, it is possible they all stay at arsenal. Thierry and Cesc had both say that they stay as long as Wenger stay. The other possibility is all three going to Real Madrid this summer or next.

Henry will not do Italy. Did it before and it didn't work. not his style. he would absolutely dominate in spain as he does in the EPL, spain would be a great fit for him towards the downside of his career. Barca will likely be going through a huge change next year anyway. Eto'o and Ronaldinho will be looking for a new challenge (EPL for both with Man U or Chelsea or Liverpool...or even Arsenal in a swap...) Rijkaard will be gone next season if not this year...

Why would he leave? He is the best player on Arsenal. If he went to Barcelona, he would be behind Ronaldinho is the media spotlight. Milan would be a good move though. He could play on a that is known as a winner. Arsenal did make it to the finals in 2006, but they got pwned by Barcelona.

Well if the American takes over as planned Wenger will leave and coach in the only big league he hasnt won Spain hopefully to replace Frank. Cesc will join along with Henry and i dont think by then Deco, Ronaldinho or Eto will be there I think Messi will be and Iniesta Wenger would take his Arsenal style of attack and place it in La Liga as much as I dont want to say that this is what will happen if they let the American take over
