Barcelona's new left winger - Thierry Henry???

This is just dumb, according to this article on ESPN Soccernet, Thierry Henry will be playing a wide left position this upcoming season for Barcelona. I think Pep Guardiola needs to realize that Henry is a center-forward, not a left winger. Maybe next Lionel Messi should play right back so that he can get the ball further back and make deeper runs. Obviously, I'm being sarcastic, but it just makes no sense. Barcelona should go with a 3 man forward line, Henry, Eto'o, and Messi. Henry and Messi can play as inside forwards, and be given the freedom to roam where they want to, while Eto'o can be the true center-forward. Playing Henry out on the left is just a waste though, he's too good to be that far away from goal. He really should have never left Arsenal, where he was more valued and deployed properly by Arsene Wenger.
