Behind every kick of the ball there has to be a thought.

People can say the money doesn't really matter but it does show you how much a club respects you.

The regular things in my life now - training sessions and playing matches - will all fall away. That will leave a big empty space and it will need to be filled.

Playing football was like being trapped in a rhythm, and my whole career was like that. You have very little time to switch off.

If you look at the whole package, with everything Henry has, I don't think you can find that anywhere else. You give him the ball in the right place and his acceleration will take him past any defender in the world.

You have to shoot, to want to score goals no matter how. Just score that goal! You can't be afraid to miss.

Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.
