I have a fantastic respect for Liverpool the city, club and the fans, from the time I spent there. That respect will always be there.

Being at a club that supported me meant a lot.

I will never forget how I have been treated here by the fans, the club and the owners, and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to finish my career as a Manchester City player.

I played in the Premier League for Blackpool and earned the right to go to a club like Liverpool.

I believe playing for such a great club like United honours my father's memory, and the inspiration and drive he gave to me when I was young. I hope he is proud looking at me from the sky.

Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.

I've got absolutely no intention of ever going to play at another club.

Liverpool is such a big club, and I was fortunate to be one of a select few to have played for them. It was an amazing time.

Out of all the clubs who were interested, I got the feeling that, deep down, Chelsea showed that they really wanted me. There were lots of reasons I came to Chelsea. They showed a real desire to get me to come here. I didn't have to think about it too much.

One of the main rules with my mom was if I broke a club, she was going to take it and I wouldn't get it back. So I made sure I kept all my clubs.
