Henry rules out City move

October 12, 2008

Barcelona forward Thierry Henry has dismissed rumours he is set to make a return to the Premiership in the January transfer window.

The Frenchman, who played in his country’s 2-2 draw with Romania on Saturday, has been linked with big spending Man City.

Henry’s 24 million euros move to Barcelona quickly turned sour and he has long been tipped to return to Britain to spend more time with his daughter, who lives in London.

“One thing’s clear, you’ve got to stop going on about Manchester City and everything you’re saying,” Henry told reporters here on Sunday.

“I’ve played three matches in La Liga and I’ve scored two goals, so there we are. I missed two games because I was ill,” said the 31-year-old.

“I’m not here to talk about the choices of the coach (Pep Guardiola) and tell you what’s been said between us.”

Henry has started two games for Barca this season but insisted that Guardiola was employing a rotation policy throughout the squad.

“(Lionel) Messi has started twice on the bench, as has (Samuel) Eto’o while (Daniel) Alves wasn’t even in the last squad.

“The coach has a rotation policy but you stop when it’s me who rotates. Talk about everyone! When (Carlos) Pujol doesn’t play against Real Betis, when Alves is not in the squad, when Messi doesn’t play against Racing Santander, when Samuel doesn’t play against Espanyol… If you talk about it, talk about everyone.”
