It's no secret that Thierry Henry is on his way out of Barcelona. So what's next for the 31-year-old Frenchman?
Major League Soccer.
During an interview with the New York Times Thierry said:
"I always say that one day I can play over there. I would too. But it's still early. Don't get me wrong, I just love the U.S. I don't know why. I love the way you live. I love American sports. For me, its a dream to go to training and then see a game of football, basketball, whatever game."
The Seattle Sounders seem to be the front runner for Henry, but don't be misled. Its very unlikely that Henry will go to Seattle. Major League Soccer's newest team is simply trying to get people talking about them.
Where is Henry actually going? Well, he should return his raincoat and buy some sunscreen. The big man is going to Miami.
That's right: Miami.
FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta has traveled to Miami to meet with the USL team, Miami FC. Bringing a Major League Soccer team back to the culture-rich city of Miami is close to becoming a reality.
This is where Thierry Henry fits in perfectly. He doesn't have to leave the Barcelona organization, and he will be able to produce Beckham-like numbers. Don't be surprised if you see Henry at the next Miami Dolphins game.

I support whatever decision he makes but I just don't think that the MLS is a good fit for him. If he is to leave Barca, he needs to go back to the premiership where he made his mark as one of the greatest to ever play the game.
