Brazilian ace Ronaldinho insisted that he would like Arsenal striker Thierry Henry and Chelsea star Frank Lampard to join Spanish giants Barcelona.

"Everybody in Barcelona is talking about Thierry and Frank joining us. I would not be unhappy at all if those two players sign for us," Ronaldinho was quoted by News of the World on Sunday.

Recent rumours surfaced hinting that Barca were close on Henry, who has refused to extend his contract with Arsenal, and Lampard, with the latter looking intent on staying with Chelsea.

The Brazilian talisman also commended Henry’s skills and said that he found some kind of resemblance of character and style of play with the Arsenal striker.

"Henry is a beautiful player and has got complete technique. I adore watching him. I respect him very much as a man and as a footballer. But what's more important is I can see he's in love with football. He reminds me of myself," he added.

The Spanish champions will play against Chelsea again in the UEFA Champions League in February 2006.

Ronaldinho missed his side’s local league match against Cadiz on Saturday through influenza.
