Friday's gossip column

comment on the article

Newcastle are set to launch a £15m bid for Thierry Henry, according to the Daily Mirror.


Henry,meanwhile, has insisted to Football Focus that he is happy at Barcelona - and suggested he would only return to the Premier League if he could play for his former club Arsenal.

If he does want to go to St James' Park, would he be a good signing for Kevin Keegan, or is he past his best?

Elsewhere, Liverpool and Manchester City are both being linked with a host of players, while Philipp Senderos is apparently on his way out of Arsenal.

Tell us who you think your club should buy or sell. And if you've heard a rumour, then feel free to share it.

For giving others a chance to win, in other words Man Utd to loose, all you have to do is just take off Ronaldo, like you did today against Chelsea. You wouldnt have to take all of those players out, as it doesnt really make a difference..!!

Keegan was asked by a fan at a talk in to name one player who he would love to sign. He said Thierry Henry.

Isn't it amazing where garbage journalists get their stories from. What is more amazing is that some fans believe the tripe.

"Alves, G.Barry, Kaka, Messi, De Guzman, Benzema, K.Jones"

I do not believe Chelsea will sign Messi, Kaka, K.Jones(lol) or Benzema...

Barca have had a terrible season but I do not see Messi leaving them to come to Chelsea, he is from Argentina, playing in Spain, possibly the best league in the world with one of the biggest clubs in the world and their style is suited for him AND the fans worship him...

Kaka will most likely stay at Milan...again

Benzema doesnt want to go to England and would probably go to Man Utd over Chelsea...

K.Jones is suited to a bottom half club

Out

Rochemback - Free (Sporting or Getafe)
Cattermole - £2.5Million (Wigan) [RUMOUR]
Schwarzer - Free (Bayern Munich)
Lee Dong Gook - Free (?)
Mendieta - Free (?)

In

Nolan - £5Million (Bolton)
or
Bullard - £3.5Million (Fulham)
Robinson - £4Million (Spurs)

Should free up some wage space with has been high wage players like Mendieta who havent played for a season. Plus Schwarzer on Rocky on big wages out will free up some wage space. Definately need 1 creative mid so Nolan or Bullard. Plus a new keeper, been linked with Robinson, no worse than what we have currently.
