Just looking at his face, we know that he is lying when he said :

"It has been a fantastic experience. I am enjoying it," he told The Sun.

"When you play with Barca away from home, it is chaos.

"When you travel with Barca it's like the The Beatles are in town.

"I don't have any regrets. Not at all. I've only been on the bench three times and one of those was for a rest.

"I have seven goals in the league, three in the Champions League and three in the cup. And I have eight assists. For a winger, that is not bad!

"I love London, don't get me wrong. But I also love Barcelona. The weather here is amazing." 

THE FACT THAT :

Despite being forced to play on the left wing for much of the season Henry still feels that he has enjoyed a successful first season in Spain, even if it has taken time for him to get used to the welcome the Barcelona squad often receive on their travels.

He is not King Henry anymore, his time has already passed. In Barca, people talk more about Messi, Ronaldinho—even Frank Rijkaard. Henry fate is quite similar with Shevcenko of Chelsea. Once a feared striker in Europe now only played in reserve match.

  1. You can hardly compare Henry and Shevchenko. Henry isn't in the reserves is he? You just gave us his seasons stats and he has done reasonably well.

    He may not be the biggest fish in the pond, it's his first season there and he is hardly passed it.

  2. Andrew,
    now Barca are listening to any offers for Henry around 16 million pound after only one season :)
