“We know the English market is quite high and I think that sometimes puts clubs off. I think there is a lot of hype around the Premier League.”
“Managers can sometimes hold players back for their own benefit.”
“I have learned a lot over the years. I have learned how best to use my attributes. That comes with a bit of knowledge and a bit of wisdom.”
“When you're a kid football is, and should be, sheer enjoyment.”
“I've added to my abilities since moving to Bournemouth. You are always having to re-learn how to be a centre-forward as the game is moving forward.”
“Stadium tunnels are often tight and filled with testosterone. With that combination of a confined space and emotions running high you get the ideal scenario for confrontation.”
“Winning and scoring at places like Chelsea is what you grow up dreaming of, so doing so with Bournemouth was a moment to cherish.”
“For a striker, the goals never move. Whatever division you're playing in.”

“I've only ever moved on when I've not been wanted. Experience has told me, when your time's up, you have to go. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed my time at all the clubs I've been at, and they've all got a special place in my heart.”
“Most things in life you can work for or buy. But I can't guarantee a goal... And when it comes, I can't give that feeling to anyone. Only I can feel it and know it. I want my children, my wife and people close to me to have that feeling. But I can never give them that.”
“Football can give everyone who loves the game their great moments and most dreadful disappointments. All it takes is a couple of bad injuries or decisions to turn a season and that's just the unforgiving nature of sport.”
“Scoring goals is the best feeling in the world. It's a habit. It's a drug. Everybody runs away in the playground pretending they've scored in front of thousands of people. I do that for real.”
“I never imagined I'd make it in the Football League.”
“I need balls put in the box and I need chances to be created for me.”
“Tactics, gameplan and players are all influential in how a team performs but the question is how to manage every individual in your charge and get them to play like a finely tuned orchestra.”
