FC Barcelona's winger and Champions League hero, Ludovic Giuly, believes Thierry Henry will join Barca from Arsenal the next season. Henry has got already a verbal agreement in place with FC Barcelona if he decides to leave Arsenal FC in the summer and fellow French international team mate Giuly expects the Arsenal star to sign for Frank Rijkaard´s Barcelona team.

Giuly knows that with the arrival of Thierry Henry his Barca future would be over. Despite showing excellent performances and scoring important and decisive goals for the Blaugrana, he is not a regular starter in the star studded Barca attacking line. He has to compete with stars like Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Messi as well as Larsson, Maxi and Ezquerro. If Henry would replace leaving Larsson in the summer, Giuly would hardly be the first choice to start in this Barca team.
Ludovic Giuly is completely aware of the situation and wants to decide about his own career on the arrival of his France teammate Henry.

He told El Mundo Deportivo:

I don't know for sure if Henry will join Barca, but I believe he will. I will make a decision on my future once I know.

Liverpool seems to be very keen on signing Barca winger Giuly who showed a great performance in last Tuesday´s Champions League semi final against AC Milan at San Siro but says he has not received an official offer from Liverpool yet. Giuly's contract runs out in summer 2007 and yet has to be offered a new contract by FC Barcelona but the player himself claims he has already several offers from interested clubs like Inter, Monaco, Olympique Lyon, Glasgow Rangers, Galatasaray.

That's what you post when the real news concerning your club today is that Ronaldinho is out with an injury. You're such a joke it's amazing

Barca fans here's some news on your club you won't get from a blog that covers Arsenal closer than Barca: MADRID, April 22 (Reuters) - Barcelona forward Ronaldinho has been left out of the squad to play Sevilla in the Primera Liga on Sunday, due to a muscle problem. "During training on Friday, Ronaldinho suffered bruising to his right thigh and will miss the next game to continue his treatment," a statement on the Barcelona website said on Saturday. Injured defender Oleguer and Sweden striker Henrik Larsson were also left out of the side. Barcelona can retain the Primera Liga title this weekend with a victory in Seville, if second-placed Valencia lose or draw at Athletic Bilbao. Barca face AC Milan at home in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, holding a 1-0 lead.

this is from a Gooner who prefers to read FC Barcelona Blog. Ronnie will be rested for the semifinal. No great news, everyone knows that. Yes, they have to write a reason because the competion is still on and teams play for Europe or relegation. But here for you Gooner, who loves more Barcablogs the official statement, so that you are happy:
Medical explanation: According to the club's medical team "during training on Friday Ronaldinho suffered slight bruising in his right thigh and requires physiotherapy in order to recover and regain full muscle function. Therefore he will not be available for the next match".
Does not sound serious to me, Gooner!

By the way, i do not love Arsenal, but i think they are a great Club. What I just do not understand with guys like you, that you do not understand football. Players are coming and going. Henry is a great player and of course top clubs are interested to sign him. Decision time for Henry. He can sign a new contract with Arsenal or play somewhere else, where is the problem. It is up to him.
But probably you think this is all planned to unsettle (what a nice word) arsenal´s star player since month for a possible Final in Paris. I am really looking forward to a great final, if both teams qualify. I am sure we see some excellent and exciting attacking football.

He know nothing, you know nothing. You print this crap, but don't mention that Henry himself has consistently said that he wants to stay at Arsenal. Who knows TH better? Guily,or Henry himself?
