Cole felt "invisible" at Arsenal
England full-back Ashley Cole has revealed how Arsenal's favourable treatment of Thierry Henry was one of the reasons why he wanted to leave the club for Premiership champions Chelsea.
Henry, Arsenal's captain and talisman, eventually agreed to stay at the club but Cole felt like the "invisible man" as he had not been treated in the same way by Gunners officials or fans.
In an extract from his book serialised in The Times, Cole said: "The club made Thierry feel wanted and special, wooing him, wining and dining him, speaking in public about how much they want him to stay, going on a deliberate charm offensive. But me? I didn't have one dinner, one meeting or one phone call from anyone. That's not sour grapes, it's just a sad truth."
