“To come through the ranks and play for your boyhood club is a dream come true.”
“You learn a lot, and you want to keep training hard, and like I said, you will get your chance; it's all about taking it.”
“For Birmingham, I scored four on my debut. It's not bad. First one was a tap-in; it set me up nice for the day, and I think I got a hat-trick in 13 minutes. So obviously I was cruising, then got one in the second half and came off!”
“It's always good for us to score as attacking players and to help the team get the three points.”
“I think people can be quick to judge. The people that know me, they know what I am like.”
“Once you play, you've got to show the manager what you can do.”
“I am comfortable in myself and my surroundings, so that makes me play stress-free and enjoy being on the ball.”
“It's always going to be hard when you see the other team lifting a trophy. When you have to walk up those stairs and collect the runners-up medal, it's hard.”
“You're always disappointed not to start for your country, but that's the gaffer's decision.”
“Consistency, goals, and assists - that gets you confidence and puts the thought in the manager's head that he can't drop you.”
“I actually feel more comfortable when I play for England than United.”
“I used to like playing No. 10 when I was younger, so I enjoy that role. But as I developed, I had to stay on the wing.”
