Samuel Eto'o remains
hopeful that Thierry Henry could still sign for
Barcelona.
The Arsenal striker was strongly linked with a move to Barca last
summer, before he committed to The Gunners by putting pen-to-paper
on a new long-term contract.
However, speculation about Henry's future has resurfaced following
Arsenal's poor season, and Eto'o believes there is a chance he
could yet move to Camp Nou.
"I hope so, I really do," said Eto'o at an event run by the
feelfootball.com debate website.
"Obviously it is nothing to do with me, but I would be delighted if
he came to play here."
Though he accepts signing Henry would have created huge competition
for places in a forward line already including Ronaldinho, Lionel
Messi and himself, Eto'o regrets that Barcelona missed out on the
Frenchman last year.
He explained: "We were ready to welcome him with open arms. We
would have been really happy had he come in and we would have had a
great team.
"We still have a great team, but it would have been special.
"I don't know if we could all play together. That's the coach's
job.
"All I know is that I want the best players in my team and Henry is
one of the best.
"He's a great player. He's number one of the great
players."
