The group of players that you see in the Barca dressing room is unique. There are a lot of homegrown players and others who really care for Barcelona a lot as well.

I miss everything that surrounds the club. I miss my colleagues, my friends and everyone who cares for Barcelona.

There's not a single club out there that can compete with Barcelona.

I hope my role is an important one at Roma.

I still feel it was a privilege to be a part of this team the past years, that I helped make Barca the best team in the world.

I've learned that the most important thing in football when finish a race are the experiences.

You do not always have to play in the Camp Nous and the Old Traffords and with pleasant climates. It's different experiences that you take in... that's also a part of football.

Eventually, when I retire, I can say I've played at the Britannia Stadium on a Wednesday at 7 P. M. in the cold and wind.

Feelings are above money.

Barca have given me everything, and I feel at home here.

But I think that if a club like Barcelona sign a player, it is because he has the right qualities.

My only hope is to see more frequent game time and even play alongside Ibrahimovic. We have two different styles and we can complement each other well.

The No. 9, a team's centre forward, is a number that means a lot and, God willing, I hope to inherit it some day.

I didn't play much for Roma and arriving here at Milan is a step forward for me.

My years at Barcelona are a big help. I spent four dream years there.

I've been doing extra work but I always do. I want to feel at my best and I want to be ready when the gaffer gives me the chance.

It's not good for anybody if they're out of a team. No one is happy when they're not playing but the most important thing in that situation is to be strong and to work hard.

Step by step I'm getting my opportunities and what's important for me is to be prepared to show my best whenever possible.

It is my goal to stay with Barcelona for a long time and be successful here.

This is football, things can change very fast. Let's be clear about it though: I will not be used as change to facilitate someone else's transfer.

One of the factors that has helped me to reach 100 games was not to lose hope.

Mark Hughes convinced me to come to Stoke, he has helped me and showed his trust in me from the beginning.

Stoke City gave me the opportunity to play in the most competitive league in the world, and I have only words of gratitude for their trust and for the way they have treated me.

It is an honour for me that Mainz gives me the opportunity to prove myself in another top European league.
