Man gets ready to alienate millions…

It seems like today is only halfway through, and yet so many questions need to be answered. Why is it so hot all of a sudden? What exactly is chowder? And wouldn’t Thierry Henry have to be totally barmy to go to Man United?

His move across the continent to sunny Spain was entirely forgivable, mainly because Arsenal fans suspected that his great days were slowly drifting past him, and also because it was Barcelona - THE Barcelona. But Man United? It would be a move nigh on suicidal for a man recently voted the best Arsenal player in history, or some such.

Of course, from a Man United perspective, the move would surely be viewed on a parallel with Henrik Larsson’s brief spell a couple of seasons ago - his experience, even to a Champions League winning side, would be invaluable, and Fergie could do with a natural leader of  men up front. Giggs and Scholes, although great statesmen, are probably a little soft spoken for Sir Alex’s tastes.

As reported earlier in the summer, Henry seems US bound at some point, but might he find time to have one last stab at Europe first?

More importantly, could the city Manchester realistically handle his unquenchable his thirst for fashion?
