    Henry Tips Dos Santos To Excel

    [​IMG]

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Barcelona star Thierry Henry is tipping his former Camp Nou team-mate Giovani dos Santos to make a big impact in the Premier League and develop into one of the world's top stars.

    There is a certain irony in former Arsenal captain Thierry Henry, still a Gunner at heart, backing one of the old enemy's new signings to set football alight.

    But in Giovani dos Santos, Henry reckons Arsenal's arch-rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, have signed a gem.

    France international Henry and Mexico starlet Dos Santos were team-mates with Barcelona last season, until the teenager agreed a £4.7million transfer to White Hart Lane this summer.

    Henry believes he has seen enough of the Dos Santos magic to know that, with hard work and the right attitude, he will not only prove a big hit at White Hart Lane but also emerge as a leading player on the world stage.

    Henry told the Daily Express: "Giovani has everything to be a success at Tottenham.

    "He has speed and can change the course of a game with his genius.

    "He can in two, three or four years be one of the best players in the world if he wants."</div>

    I thought he was the biggest signing by the EPL, just like Torres was last season.

    I expect him to be great for the Spurs and they'll probably end up being in the top 4 at the end of the season. Ramos is a damn good coach.

    He's pretty good, but I still rate Carlos vela a much better player overall, too bad he joined the scum. [​IMG]

    I thinkDos Santos is currently better than Vela, but worse than Walcott. Barcelona seem to neglect a lot of their young talent (apart from Messi and Bojan)... Lets hope it wasn't left too late, and if he can physically handle the EPL.

    Sorry, I read this article late, but I still had a few comments on it.

    Wow Henry is vocal. He likes to get his 2 cents out there, just about anything.

    Yeah, my respect for him is diminishing by the minute/article. He's still my favorite player though, but I hate his press releases.

    Do you mean players of his level who are the same age?

    None really stand out. I would have to think/research that one.

    So if he was to sign for United that would be the end of respect for him? [​IMG]

    If he were to sign for Man. United, I would label him "Douche of the Century".

    I'm not getting my hopes up yet. I'm waiting until the EPL starts.
