Rumour Season Has Begun?

NOt that it really ever stops but as the end of the major soccer league seasons approaches, what had been only a tickle in the throat has erupted into a full-fledged hacking and coughing fit of  rumours as to who is going where. First off, FC Barcelona finally getting the Thierry Henry they've admired for so long. And of course, they need him because SAF wants speed on his front line and the Cameroon lion Eto'o fits the bill.
Will Henry go? This one seems dubious, as he has repeatedly expressed his commitment to the club and to coach Arsene Wenger. The speculation centers on the recent departure of David Dein and that seems like a strange reason to go back on his earlier commitments. Now, if Wenger left, I believe Henry is gone. For now, he stays (I hope!).
Man U gets Eto'o, though. The Cameroonian striker has been unsettled at the club this past season and he seems ripe for a swoop from the biggest club in the world. Good on them. The addition of Eto'o to the EPL will make for a more exciting brand of football all around, and also pressure Chelsea immensely.
The big problem for the EPL, as always, is that the top 4 continue to get stronger and the remaining 16...well, muddle. Look at the points spread between the top 2, the top 4 and then everyone else. That's not competitive, folks.
