Around SBN: More Hints That Kings Will Maybe Trade No. 5 Pick

Henry Jetsets to Barcelona

Apparently Thierry Henry's got quite a few frequent flyer miles.

A few pictures tweeted by Ives Galarcep earlier today show Henry at Barcelona's training session.

Rumor is, Henry is in Spain visiting fellow Frenchman and Barca defender Eric Abidal, who underwent a liver transplant two weeks ago, similar to how he flew out to England to visit with Fabrice Muamba after he collapsed in an FA Cup tie with Tottenham Hotspur. He's also going to catch the Chelsea-Barca Champions League semi-final match tomorrow.

Is Henry ok to do as he pleases so long as he keeps playing the way he is, or is he out of line jetting across the Atlantic for the second time this year?

Honestly, I would probably be pretty pissed off about this if it was the first time. But the fact of the matter is that the man scored a brace and notched an assist the weekend after his last quick trip across the Atlantic. If he looks haggard or, even worse, gets injured against the Revs, it’ll be hard not to blame this trip. But based on past results, I’m not worried.

No problem with it.

Henry can do as he pleases. When I see a dip in form, I’ll get worried. Perhaps these trips are good for his mental state. Maybe taking in the match at Camp Nou will inspire him. Imagine the alternative: just hopping back on the Accela and heading back to Mountclair tomorrow after that onslaught and pathetic outing by his teammates, having to risk the Keel Cam being shoved in his face or having to see Agudelo fixing his Mohawk in the mirror. He’d quit. This is good for him, and good for the team. If I’m proved wrong, then off with his head. But, until then, jaunt all you want. You’re the King.

Perhaps some of his current teammates will become envious

And start to think about why Henry has the means to be able to do such things.

Captain, there are doubt''s...
