Maybe Barcelona Didn't Need Henry

Filed in archive La Liga on September 19, 2007

I'm starting to think Barcelona didn't need to buy Thierry Henry. With Samuel Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Deco, Andrés Iniesta and Leo Messi already giving them plenty going forward (and don't forget Eidjur Gudjohnsen) they've been playing Henry on the left, which is the same mistake Juventus made.

But they've also got some incredible young attacking talent ready to go. Eighteen year old Ronaldinho lookalikey Giovani dos Santos made his La Liga debut a couple of weeks back, and 17 year old Bojan Krkic made his debut for Barca against Osasuna on Sunday. He very nearly announced himself with a stunnning goal after "rainbowing" (is that the right term?) the Osasuna keeper, which wowed even Mr. Ronaldinho himself.
