I like the tag of being the world's most expensive player. It's an honour and a privilege.

My motto in life is 'if you give 100 per cent then no one can ask any more'.

Andy Carroll will cause anyone problems and I don't see a problem in that

I always practise penalties, but what people don't understand is that you can never recreate that pressure situation that you're under.

Yes, I do like to be in control. I do like everything to be laid out, to know what I'm doing. I'm very impatient. I like things done yesterday, which is probably a fault of mine. I like things to be neat and tidy and organised. I say what I want and show what I want and I keep things private.

I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.

At times they don't like you to kick them and they feel you're not allowed to kick them.
