Happy Henry Hails Gallas & Beast

Arsenal captain Thierry Henry has welcomed the Arsenal new boys claiming Gallas is the best centre back in the world.

Thierry Henry is always confident that Arsenal can go on to bigger and better things, but the signings of William Gallas & Julio Baptista see him more buoyed than ever.

‘I have known William for a long time,’ said Henry. ‘I’ve played with him and against him.

‘In my opinion he’s the best centre back in the world, so he’s a vital signing.

‘We’ve lost two strong players in Reyes and Cole, but football moves on and I think the players we have signed can help us to progress.

‘Baptista can become a big player for us this season.’

Roll on the 9th September.
