Barcelona have considered the prospect of involving Thierry Henry in the deal to get Manchester City's Robinho over the line.

The Catalan giants are pushing for the Brazilian maestro to join them at the Nou Camp and may part with former Arsenal superstar Henry to get their man.

Reports emanating from Spain suggest that Henry, along with captain Carles Puyol, are names being bandied around to use to get Robinho if City require an exchange deal.
