Just seen a quick flash on Sky Sports that he's been given permission to speak to Arsenal. This has got to be a joke hasn't it? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
Barthez to Arsenal?
- Thread starter Hornchurch Red
- Start date
um no
I know that he wasn't at his best at the end of the season but still don't like to contemplate the prospect of him playing for those clowns. <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[No No]" />
I think you'd be stupid to let him go.

Yes we would. Certainly not to Arsenal.
Both clubs denying the story.
Barthez's agent has said they've been given permission.

If he's been given permission then there's no need to worry. We'll have a replacement lined up. Bring on the blonde urang-utan.
Barthez and 20m to Arsenal for Viera???
I am very pitty with Barthez's condition now.IMO,he must not play for us as no.1 because I don't think we can ever make it to get the CL title with him.If this is truth,then maybe we should let him go.For me this is the best way he can choose now.
If Arsenal want Barthez, go ahead for god's sake.
I think that Bathez is getting picked on too much. Just to point out.... statistically, Barthez is doing better this season than last season.
Isnt it strange how people want to see the back of certain players, then panic when that player might go to a rival. What kind of bollox logic is that. If we're not offering him a contract (and I done think we should) then he's free to go wherever he wants, even a rival.
Remember SAF being upset with Bosnich for signing for Chelsea, not that he was upset for long mind!

Barthez is a great character and well liked in the dressing room. I agree he is a devil through and through.
I don't think that the management at MUFC would sell Barthez to any club in the EPL, unless it was a ridiculous offer - i.e. more than what Man Utd paid for him.
Barthez is a great shot stopper. Good reflexes and can get low quickly.
He has a two fold achilles heel though:
1. Lack of height/extended reach.
2. Tendancy to stand-off his line.
It really showed against Real Madrid.
Chris Kirkland would be my first choice keeper if he were fit. Good height/reach. Young. Good reflexes.

I don't mind letting him go for GBP12m if he goes to Arse. Other clubs, GBP10m.
What about Parma-keeper Sebastien Frey. Talented young keeper who already has been given a lot of experience from his years in Italy. He is my first choice.
