Barcelona have confirmed that Thierry Henry will be free to leave the club this
summer, after agreeing a compromised deal to pay up the remaining year of the French striker's
contract at the club.
In what has been a tumultuous past couple of months for French superstar Thierry Henry, it
appears as if the striker is set to leave Barcelona. Recent news has leaked out from the Camp Nou
that both the player and the club have settled on terms for Henry to leave the reigning La Liga
champions.
With Manchester City already keen on signing Yaya Toure from Barcelona and with Toure already
stating his desire in leaving Barcelona due to the lack of playing time received at Camp Nou, it
now seems that Manchester City are just a few steps away from signing the midfielder as they look
to put the finishing touches on the deal.
Barcelona are hoping to wrap up the signing of Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas during the World
Cup according to Barcelona's corporate director general Joan Oliver
"Cesc has arrived in South Africa to play the World Cup, but there are a lot of football people
there. (Arsenal coach Arsene) Wenger will be there and there will also be representatives of Barca

Barcelona hope to negotiate the signing of Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas at theWorld Cup in South
Africa. Arsenal have insisted that the 23-year-old midfielder, a Barca youth product, is not for

Barcelona have confirmed that they have entered 'official' negotiations with Arsenal over the
transfer of their influential captain Cesc Fabregas.
The Catalan giants have submitted a written offer which is believed to be in the region of €40
million (£33 million) for Fabregas, after initially entering formal discussions with Arsenal
earlier today the day after the transfer window re-opened.
Enough is enough apparently. Barcelona warned Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent on Monday that further
criticisms of the club could result in them seeking an exit for the Swedish striker.
The Spanish champions were reacting to quotes from an interview Mino Raiola gave when he said
Barca coach Pep Guardiola "would need to go to a mental hospital," if he was considering
off-loading Ibrahimovic for next season.
The Manchester City website is confirming that Roberto Mancini's side have completed the signing
of Valencia winger David Silva. The statement confirms that, "The player's advisers and officials
from both clubs have finalised the details over a four-year contract, which will bring the
24-year-old to City of Manchester Stadium.
Good morning, I am somewhat *boilked* this morning. A combination of beer, wine,
champagne and more beer and B52s and more beer and some rum is quite a delicate mix, let me tell

Arsenal interest in the World Cup yesterday was non-existent. South Korea looked quite good,
Greece looked rubbish, Maradona looked he bought his suit in a bargain basement, the Nigerian
keeper looked good enough in one game for everyone to say 'We should buy him!
