Mourinho wanted the signing of Henry for the Barça

In statements conceded to "TalkSPORT", José Mourinho has joined to the farewell of Thierry Henry -that has withdrawn of the football- and has expressed the admiration that always felt to the French player, recognising that in 1996, when it was assistant of Bobby Robson in the FC Barcelona, were about to to achieve his signing for the Barcelona group. 

"When I was assistant in Barcelona with the gentleman (Bobby) Robson in 1996 try ficharlo, but he was happy in the Monaco and at the end did not concretise , lost by it very little", has revealed. Henry happened of the Monaco to the Juventus before cuajar eight seasons memorables in the Arsenal, where won it all less the Champions League. 

Mourinho has signalled that Thierry Henry "is the type of player that needs always, especially in the Premier League", and that went precisely in the English competition "where stood out more than in any another place", what can understand like a new wink to the Barça, where Henry himself won all the possible titles to the orders of Guardiola. "He was well in Barcelona and in the French selection, but the true Thierry Henry, the player that all go to lose for ever, is the one who did incredible seasons in the Premier League".
