“I play a good physical game.”
“Life's boring enough without always having the same hair.”
“I just want to win; it doesn't matter what it takes.”

“Football saved me.”
“This is a club with a very big history, and the fans are a big part of that. There will be pressure here, for sure, but I like pressure. I also know about the famous players who have played for Newcastle United, like Alan Shearer, who is a hero of mine.”
“At all big clubs, there is pressure. They all want to win and expect to win.”
“I say that if the team play well and use me in the right way... the goals will come.”
“Sometimes I score, sometimes I don't, so people are here to judge, but I know my qualities, and I try to give everything to win and help my team-mates.”
