To be honest, I was Mum's boy. Always was, always will be.

There's a few ugly ones. Carlo is probably the best looking [on chelsea players]

Of course it is going to be difficult for any player to get in the Chelsea side no matter who they are.

When I came to Chelsea from West Ham there were certain parts of my game I felt I needed to improve and I like to think now that I have shown dramatic improvement.
