Tough Time for Thierry

Thierry Henry felt like he was on top of the world, being named best striker in the EPL playing for Arsenal. This summer he moved from arsenal to one of the most talented clubs, Barcelona. After a 16.1 million dollar move the season looked bright for this team and for his career. At arsenal, Henry scored 174 goals in 235 appearances but now, only 7 goals in 22 for Barcelona Henry is looking out of place. His new manager Rijkaard makes him play in a very odd and uncomfortable position at wide left when Henry is a born striker. Not only is Henry going through a tough time gaining his spot on the pitch, but he had recently divorced his wife Claire and losing his daughter his wife had custody of her. These events had left to speculation that this will be his last season in Spain. Suggesting that Henry should move back to England where he is more respected. His old manager Arsene Wenger is interested in getting Henry back if that choice comes around. The future of Thierry Henry is unclear, but he is a strong player and will have to find some kind of niche at Camp Nou and overcome this tough time in his football career.
