So the French never conquered England. The Normans did (and they were part Viking).
The Normans spoke a dialect of French, however, which is why the upper class in England spoke French as either a first or second language until the 1900's.
I imagine that Henry speaks French, English, and Spanish... he'll be perfect for MLS.

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/88/sp...-free-transferBarcelona's Thierry Henry To Request Free Transfer
Knowing that his future lies away from the Camp Nou, Barcelona forward Thierry Henry will ask the club for a free transfer to his next club, according to AS. His next move is strongly rumoured to be to either the New York Red Bulls of the MLS or even the Premier League's West Ham.

aka im going to new york
Why? We are playing the Red Bulls here in August
as in Henry is going to New York
Interesting though that he's rumoured to go to West Ham, never heard that before.
Surprised nobody posted this yet:

Wow, well thats to the point.... So i guess it's 100 percent happening. Guess the game on Aug 21st is going to be that more hyped. And this also really inproves there playoff chances.
Cue the rumours.

it's interesting that they are playing "mystery player" here in their ads... I wonder how long they'll keep up that ad campaign. With beckham, they announced it wayyyy before he ever came to MLS, which created a spike in season ticket sales and anticipation. If they've got Henry's signature, they shouldn't wait too long to announce it.
^ I think it's kind of cool the way they're doing it. Very 80s WWF. (Hopefully it goes better than the launch of the Shockmaster, although Henry falling through a wall would be awesome)
I might actually look forward to the Red Bulls coming here…can we have Angel?
I can hear it now…Cheat! Cheat! Cheat!

Just as a curiosity I just went on Ticketmaster to see if anything was available for the Aug. 21 NYRB game and managed to score a pair in row 1 of section 121. WooHoo! Now, let's make this transfer happen!
I heard a rumor that NYRB will change their name to the New York Red Handed Bulls.
That is very funny

I hope he comes with his own Rick Derringer entrance theme.
If you look closely, the guy making the shirts, puts a H on the shirt...wonder who that could be?
you've got some good eyes
Watched it twice and dont see anything close to resembling an H
upon fiurther review... it almost looks like a D or a G... pause the vid a split second after it hit 37 seconds and you will get a pretty clear view... mind you it can all be a coincidence and its a random letter.

I purchased 8 tickets for the TFC game in NY and the NY ticket rep. commented that we should see Henry by then.
"Failure simply isn't an option at this stage. TFC pushed its chips to the middle of the table when it splurged on Bradley and Defoe and reinforced its bet by making savvy acquisitions elsewhere. This collection of players is capable of delivering on the promises made during the close season. There are no more excuses available for TFC. Only success will continue the process of atoning for the past and establishing a higher standard for the future." FOX Sports
