Arsenal boss convinced they can't retain Henry
tribalfootball.com - February 6, 2006
Arsenal are ready to sell captain Thierry Henry in the summer to
fund a massive rebuilding campaign.
The Sunday Mirror says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is resigned to
the fact that it's the end of an era, with Henry set for a
£30million move to Barcelona and Ashley Cole likely to join Real
Madrid in the summer.
Robert Pires, another stalwart of Arsenal's 2003-04 Invincibles
will also leave at the end of the season and there are major
concerns over troubled defender Sol Campbell. His solicitor claimed
yesterday that the England star - who disappeared for four days
after Arsenal's defeat by West Ham - will return to training
today.
Regarding his club captain, Wenger is concerned that even if they
were able to persuade him to stay Henry's pay demands would
undermine the club's wage structure and upset his
team-mates.
