I'm like everyone else: I want to play every game, but it's not possible.

Everyone's got unfinished business with Barcelona. They're the greatest team in the world.

But what club wouldn't welcome the chance to strengthen their side, what club would turn down the resources Chelsea have?

I can't stress the importance of working hard enough, work on all aspects of your game. If you does that and you have the ability, you'll come through.

I admit I was somewhat concerned when we started to sign so many players - naturally you are going to worry about whether you can retain your place in the side.

I am certainly not the most talented player in the world; there's many a more talented player than me.

I am a man who likes to play consistently; I always play better when I'm on a run of games.
