Former Arsenal star Thierry Henry has admitted his authority at the club sometimes proved more of a hindrance than a help.

Henry left Arsenal in the summer for Barcelona after eight successful years in North London.

Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas recently suggested in an interview some players were inhibited playing alongside Henry towards the end of his spell at the club.

Henry accepts Fabregas' suggestion and believes it was good for Arsenal for him to move on to Barcelona.

Agreed

"I agreed with them completely," he said of Fabregas' comments.

He added in the Sunday Telegraph: "Because of my seniority, the fact that I was captain and my habit of screaming for the ball, they would sometimes give it to me even when I was not in the best position.

"So in that sense it was good for the team that I moved on."
