“I feel the manager [Sven-Goran Eriksson] knows what I'm capable of. I don't think I need to prove anything. He knows that if he needs me, I'm there and I'll come in and do a good job,”
“But my main priority is here [at Manchester City]. I know the England thing is great and everyone likes to talk about it, but my main priority is establishing myself at this club. A lot of people have questioned my consistency and that is something I want to address. This is a fresh start for me. Being around fresh players and enjoying my football again will hopefully be a good thing.”
“The move has been brilliant for me and given my career a lift. I'm really pleased with the move and the partnership with Andy is going well. Long may that continue.”
