"Thierry is one of the greatest, certainly second or even the greatest, players I've seen at Arsenal, thrilling in every respect.
"My one worry is his suggestion that he partly left because he was unsure what Arsene was going to do in one year's time.

"I have no doubt that Arsene will honour his current contract.
"Beyond that, I can't say."
