I loved being in America. It was a great experience. People will be drawn to China because of the money but the lifestyle, everything about America, I couldn't recommend it enough.

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.

You remember the finals you lose as much as the ones you win.

I'm really happy here. I think anyone who knows me well, and the fans too I hope, they know that I love the area, and the bond that I've had with the fans has been fantastic.

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

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

I was always pretty good at school, but a lot of it was memorising, maybe cheating off your mates, stuff that gets you through.
