5 retired players of last decade who could have broken the £100 million barrier in today’s market

#4 Thierry Henry

This is only natural, isn’t it? The little kid that is being labelled as ‘more Henry than Henry himself was’ is being touted to be the first £100 million footballer despite being only 18 years old and despite having only half a season worth of competitive football under his belt, so how can the main man not be expected to cross the barrier?

Thierry Henry was the embodiment of the word “wizardry”. The Frenchman was a divine player who could do almost anything in the final third with the ball at his feet. He danced across from the left to confuse the life out of opposition defenders and inspired a lot of attackers to try the similar trades.

Had Barcelona signed him 10 years later than they actually did, they would have had break the £100 million mark for sure.
