Thierry Henry wants to return to Arsenal, in what capacity is a little unclear, the French striker, in his first week after transferring from Barcelona to New York Red Bulls quipped, "When I retire, I don't know how, I want to come back to Arsenal, I have just come to New York to play and to compete and win another title, after everything is done then I will think about it, but whatever it is, I want to come back to Arsenal - maybe as a water boy - I just love this club."......Well Henry certainly left a 226 goal legacy, a club record that will be difficult to surpass, Henry also played a huge part in securing Arsenal two Premier League titles and success in three FA Cup campaigns.

At 32 Henry has a powerful and distinctly recognizable brand name, and an international pedigree to match, with interest from six of Europe?s most successful clubs keen to sign him, it is a huge compliment that Henry chose to see out his career playing in the MLS.

Henry is amongst talented company, a 32 year old David Beckham under a hail of ticker tape moved to L A Galaxy circa 2007, the ceremony had all the hallmarks of planet Beckham right down to his spice girl model wife Posh marching catwalk style with Becks on a lead following on behind, both breaking into a pose every 15 seconds, adorned in a frightening pink dress plus humongous black sunglasses..... Posh insisted he wore pink and chose the sunglasses personally...a crescendo of chanting "Beckham, Beckham? a huge screen relayed highlights of Beckham's career, the only drawback was when Becks lips started to move..stumbling over his words Becks: "foot......I mean soccer, I'll get used to that at some point, I'm sorry? he added his arrival in the MLS ?was not just for the Galaxy but for soccer and for the sport of soccer in the United States".....

Thierry Henry?s arrival should herald a rise in average attendances and galvanize interest in Soccer in the US,19 million fans watched the USA v Ghana match and a record 24 million switched on for the Spain V Holland World Cup Final......

The Capello index has finally been taken down this morning only to reappear again soon after, a major embarrassment to both the FA and Capello, this Index was inspired and backed initially by Capello himself, so I don?t see what grounds Capello has to complain now.


Martin Jol is on the cards to announce his appointment as Roy Hodgson?s replacement at Fulham, in a deal worth ?2 million plus with a week. .

Expect media attention to fall on Joe Cole as Liverpool wait to see if a ?90,000 per week offer will temp the midfielder away from either Spurs or Arsenal, both in the running to increase their bids, interestingly Ancelotti states ?economic reasons? for Coles departure from Stamford Bridge ..It?s make your mind up time for Joe and quickly .....
