UPDATE 23/06/07: Henry is off to Barca, egg, face, me.
Rumours are growing that Thierry Henry is moving to Liverpool, the usual “My nans brothers dog saw Henry playing keepy uppy in the car park at Anfield” started yesterday. I am not one for getting to excited about these things until there is a press conference, but the rumour is growing legs and starting to walk.
Apparently, according to various messageboards and local radio stations, Henry has had a medical @ Mellwood today, many posters with “contacts” state they have seen Henry @ Mellwood (although in this age of mobile phone cameras etc, no one seems to have had the prescence of mind to take a snap)
Apparently, bookies have stopped taking bets after a large wodge was placed from the Liverpool area.
Apparently, Henry has also been seen in the NW area looking at houses, and schools.
It’s all starting to add up, especially when bookies stop taking cash! As usual though, there is no point getting excited until it’s official, but what a coup for Liverpool if it’s true!
Henry has been quoted in the past on his admiration for Liverpool, Anfield, and the fans, so it’s not too much of a stretch to believe that this rumour is one that may bear fruit, maybe a lemon, but hopefully a big juicy peach.

UPDATE: tribalfootball.com are saying that Arsenal have enquired about Cisse as a replacement for Henry. Swapsies?
FURTHER RUMOUR: The Arsenal link continues with rumour that David Dein could be on the way to Liverpool after leaving Arsenal recently. Rick Parry is on the way out, and Dein has the experience of setting up a new stadium with Arsenal already, maybe he’d like to bring his friend Thierry with him as well?
