  Spanish giants Barcelona have been criticised in their local media for the signing of former Arsenal captain and striker Thierry Henry.
  
  The Catalan club have been accused of being 'conned' by the Gunners, who received £16.1 million for sale of the French star.
  
  Henry is currently injured and will be out 'indefinitely' with a back problem, though it's unclear if this was the same problem that kept him out for close to 5 months during his last season in North London.
  
  The newspaper El Mundo Deportivo, recalling that Arsène Wenger had made £30m on the sales of Emmanuel Petit and Marc Overmars to Barcelona, said: "Arsenal must be laughing themselves hoarse."
