Yes I think it is the end of Henry in England now, he has been awesome, I think it will be a good move for him.
It seems to definitely spell the end for Eto'o. Where will he go? My money is on AC Milan, gutted - I want him to come to England, he is awesome.

I don't believe the 25m euros statement, but do believe that Eto will be part of the deal.

The CrazyHorse rumour network heard this morning that Liverpool are going to make Arsenal a shock offer for Henry.

OK, let's get this right - Anelka to Arsenal, to replace Henry, who's off to Barcelona, to replae Eto'o, who's going to Milan. Presumably to replace the Wanderers-bound Inzaghi!
Marvellous. It has a nice circularity to it.
And before anybody says "no quotes", how about:
"I'm looking forward to joining up with Nicky Hunt and Gavin McCann" - Flippo Inzaghi*
*Or maybe it was me, but it's still a quote.

Can you imagine Inzaghi playing for us. Wow! The guy is a pain, he doesn't know the offside rule, but he scores goals for fun.
Eto'o won't go to Arsenal, just no way. I don't think he will come to England, no way will he sign for Liverpool, Man Utd probably cannot afford him now they have already spent heavily and Chelsea won't spend any more money just to annoy Mourinho - and there is no way they are after another striker what with Shevchenko, Kalou, Pizzaro and Drogba.
AC Milan look certs to sign him, they'll have some nice strikers next season - Ronaldo, Eto'o, Gillardino, Inzaghi, Kaka, etc.

What do you mean no quotes? Sky Sports News have just had a quote from Henry's agent, describing the story as "absolute rubbish" - which is harsh, as I thought it was quite a good one.
I suppose this means we won't get to see Inzaghi partnering Vaz Te up front for the Wanderers, next season, then? Oh well...

I win batty boy, this one has quotes
Henry wrote:"Nothing is done. I repeat, nothing," Henry told L'Equipe.
"At this moment I am an Arsenal player and in the same situation as I was last year.
"Last season people were announcing all over the place that I was leaving. Some people wrote that it would happen for sure but at the end of the day I stayed at Arsenal. It could be the same this year.
"I've not taken any decision and my name is not up on any departures board. If something happens, I will tell everybody."
