Robert Pires has urged Thierry Henry to move to Spain, while claiming Cesc Fabregas would not be out of place at Barcelona.
Barca are ready to pounce for Henry if he decides to quit Arsenal, and Pires thinks a move to the Camp Nou would be perfect for the French striker.
Henry's future continues to be speculated upon and European champions Milan are known admirers of the Arsenal captain as well.
Pires believes the time is right for Henry to depart Emirates Stadium and wants him to head for Spain, where Pires currently plies his trade for Villarreal.
The winger is also full of admiration for Arsenal midfielder Fabregas who has also been linked with a return to his homeland.
"I think Thierry Henry would be very happy at Barca," Pires said in the Daily Star. "I should not be saying this as Arsenal, their manager and their fans are all very good.
"But it would be best for him to make a change. Arsenal are at the end of a cycle. They have signed some good new players but they are still very young.
"Cesc Fabregas is young but he already knows how to play. He is going to be an absolute star.
"The quality of his passing is right out of the Barca school of doing things."
You know, I know every year there is speculation about Henry leaving. But i've never heard as many players say it about him. [/quote]
