"He seems like a different player and very mature in his way of playing. He's a huge talent and has been doing very well for us"

"Obviously I'm very disappointed for Michael. It's very bad luck for him and for Newcastle United."

"Of course they are a pack of lies."

"It's good to have these sort of problems."

"Many times the words I say don't come out in the papers. I could have as many examples as you want."

"Of course it's a worry. We want to see him on the pitch as soon as possible. I can only wait and see what is happening with him. I think he's one of those players who will get in form rather quickly, with the body he has."

"The importance of this win is enormous. The performance today was up and down. We knew it would be a difficult game and that Wales would fight for every ball."

"I spoke to Michael today and he said he had some pain but he had a scan today and they said that's normal. He was very optimistic, very confident that he'll be okay."

"I always want to entertain."
