Henry To RBNY – More Proof

By: Dave Martinez | October 22nd, 2009

henry2 Shortly after we posted up the much talked about Thierry Henry to RBNY rumors on the page, TheOffside Editor Daryl Grove took us all on a journalistic back tracking mission to disavow the validity of the headline, basically stating that the news was unsubstantiated, and that many journo’s simply did not fact check their stories before running with them.

Tell that to Sky Sports reporter Guillem Balague. Balague was interviewed recently regarding the status of Man Citehs Brazilian star, Robinho. He also took the time to address whether or not Henry’s move to Citeh would ever come to fruition. Here is his reply:

“And regarding a swap deal (with Thierry Henry for Robihno) – no, it’s not going to happen either. I’ve got the impression that Henry is leaving Barcelona at the end of the season. There were meetings last month between his representatives and New York Red Bulls and I’ve got the impression that after the World Cup he is going to go to the MLS.”

Just another log for the fire . . .

You do the same that LA did with Beckham, get the league exception thing (MLS WOULD DO IT FOR HENRY). MLS and Red Bulls now realize with a new stadium, and opening kick on ESPN 2 (Mar 27) that a top player in NY is a MUST. I also think it is time for the league to extend by at least 25 percent the cap to attract and pay the players a bit more, therefore the quality goes up, but the revenue can be made by the league and the owners.

Some of that Jozy money would be nice right about now...

Great question Ant. Red Bull actually have two DP slots available from trade. So they can actually fit both Angel and Henry (Claudio Reyna was RB's original DP).

We have two DP slots.

Say Henry does agree to join New York - What does that do to your DP? Are you basically forced to choose one or the other? I'm quite familiar with the MLS but know that Angel at this present moment is your DP. Just want clarifying on what would happen in that scenario.
