I think we've got a lot players in the squad who are more suited to European football at the moment.

There are very few young goalkeepers who play at the top level. Most goalkeepers figure it out as time goes on.

You want the best players to be on form come the Euros.

To be a striker you need to be in good shape.

The Premier League is very difficult football and very different to when you play in Europe, but the player has to have experience to adapt, and this is the key point.

You hear all the time about European players playing the game. These players that come over at 17, 18 and 19, they just don't all of a sudden become skilled. From the time they were little fellas, they learned the fundamentals of the game. Let them create.

Something interesting has happened over the last 10 years in the Premier League. Players who once would have been discarded as expensive and too old have become important parts of title-winning squads.

That's the big thing for youngsters. When you go, you don't want a manager that's not going to have any trust in young players.

You need to have a big squad; it's important when you're in the Champions League, with the amount of games we've got.

Strikers are egotists, selfish. We have to be.
