Not sure if it's 100% true but if it is then it is certainly a bit of a suprise, but good luck to the lad.

/first to allude to an Henry move...

I doubt this is real

On the official Asian football site so more than likely real.

Its Barca!

Surely this is rubbish?

It's an odd move if it's true, but there's been stories about him being unhappy with the racism in Spanish football for some time now.

Agree with you there. Why would he leave? :confused:

Well the possible answers given to that question so far are 1. Friendship, 2. Money, 3. Racism in Spain.

Not necessarily in that order...

I suppose it would be a hell of a statement to make.

Gilly · 14 Apr 2006 at 18:07

It certainly would. He's got a hell of a lot to lose.

I think everyone may be missing the point, its just a loan move. Cameroon aren't in the WC, so it might be a short term deal until Barca's pre-season starts; with Eto and Barca being paid a lot of money by this Arab team

Nismo · 14 Apr 2006 at 18:15

Could he not just be playing for them whilst the World Cup is on? I dont see where he says hes leaving Barca.

Edit - yeah, same point as above.

What he said. It's only a 3 month loan contract during the Summer months when the World Cup is on and the Middle East have their version of the Champions League. Her will be back at Barca for preseason training.
