This is a massive club - you've won **** all for ages but I'll take the money

I'm just happy to play where the boss sees me as an asset - I'll give these ****s a year if I'm not given that centre half berth

When the call came I had no hesitation - my agent gave the nod they'd caved in to my demands

I was a boyhood fan - I seen them on MOTD once and ****ed off out on me skateboard


This is fun.

I'm joining a big club! = I'm joining a club where the biggest fools in the business decides what to do.

"The future for me wasn't at this club." = I see my future on a caribean island with beautiful young women serving me drinks for the rest of my life.. therefore I chose another club that will pay me way more then you cheap b*stards will do.

I don't feel wanted at the club.....They continue to pay me sixty grand a week and must continue to do so for the next five years. But, the papers are full of stories planted by another club saying what a great player I am and they will pay me more money.

I want a new challenge : Are you serious? Double my money, well mate, I'm out of here.
