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

I think every player enjoys praise and I have to work extremely hard on the training ground to bring my game together.

I'm a very private person, and you have a lot of people looking into your personal life, away from football. That's the one thing that I don't like, but I always remember how lucky we are that we're playing football.

People had said to me New York is kind of cutthroat and people walk past you on the street. I find it the opposite. I find that people want to talk.

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.

The title is still on the cards until it's off the cards.

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.
