“When Saturday or a match comes, I just look forward to playing football and scoring goals for the team.”
“I just want to be on the pitch and if it's 20 or 25 minutes it's a great feeling.”
“My love for my country is not going to go away.”
“I thought I was going to be finishing at Newcastle.”
“It's a difficult one when we don't perform well and get beat and don't perform like we can.”
“I've just got to play my football when I get the chance.”
“I don't want to be sitting in the gym by myself doing rehab. I want to be outside doing what I love to do, playing football and being with the lads.”
“When I come into training I completely focus on training. Soon as I leave I focus on families and friends.”
“You don't get the results, it's a business at the end of the day. That's why you have to keep the lads together and work hard as a manager and get the lads working hard for you.”
“Luis is a great player who works so hard for the team and it's nice to have him up top with me. Luis drops off, gets the ball into his feet, can dribble with it and slip people in.”
“You've always got to stay on your toes and train well to stay in your position.”
“My past is my past.”
“I'm still a child at heart.”
“I like to get myself about so it's been tough when I haven't been mobile and been a bit stiff.”
“I have regrets looking back.”
“I don't really like watching football. My mum and dad watch a game on one screen, listen to radio commentary and have the laptop open for score flashes! I walk in the house... oh God! I need to switch off. I don't have it on in my house, unless I have friends over.”
“I don't really care what people say to be honest.”
“It was a great feeling to get my first goal for Albion.”
“To be honest, I don't go out at all. I know what people say is not true, my family knows it's not true and the club knows it's not true so that is all that matters.”
“I just want to stay fit, as every player does.”
