In one of the least surprising transfer deals this summer Konami have resigned Thierry Henry to be the "face" of Pro Evolution Soccer.
Apparently the Arsenal striker has been "playing Pro Evolution Soccer games for over ten years now." Not only that but he is "looking forward to being closely involved with the creation and promotion of what promises to be a stunning game."
Er, thanks for that Thierry. You have to wonder what the point of all this is though. Will anyone actually be buying Pro Evo 5 because of Henry's involvement rather than, say, because it is likely to be the finest footy game around? Any Arsenal fans reading this care to comment?
Does the thought of a teenage Henry playing ISS on the SNES make you more willing to buy this than the Rooney-sponsored FIFA 06?
Me? I'm a Saints fan, so unless Konami sign up Matt Le Tissier for Pro Evo 6, I don't care.
