“I want to try and stay in the game and maybe have that responsibility: picking teams, telling players they're dropped. It's something that I might enjoy.”
“At 15 or 16 I had been to 12 or 13 clubs.”
“In the stadium when you're playing, you feel the negative vibe going around for not playing the ball forward, or for not pressing.”
“At Wolves I just had all the experiences - disappointment and then obviously getting promoted and stuff like that, but then taking it to the next level and getting into Europe as well.”
“I just felt I needed to be in the best shape possible.”
“I started working for my dad - he had his own company in carpet upholstery cleaning. I was doing whatever he said. It was hard work, it made me grow up and realize that it's not what I wanted to do.”
“Whenever a ball is played backwards, make the right decision, back a player to pick you out, so there a lot of ways players can take responsibility on the pitch.”
“As players you want to be able to go out there and perform for your country and give people good things to write about.”
“1-0 is not a scary scoreline at all.”
“What you really want to do is sit down and eat everything in the house. You can never do it, you've got to be disciplined, but in the back of your head, you're sitting there and thinking: 'what's in the press, what's in the fridge?'”
“I've got Spurs gear on - that's all I care about.”
“On a Wolves front, Premier League football is the big aim.”
“There have been a lot of ups and downs.”
“It's tough, it's not a nice feeling playing in all these games and not scoring any goals.”
“Growing up I always wanted to play in the Premier League and now I get to resume living my dream, which is playing games and I can't wait to get back.”
“I've never been in a major competition. If you don't want to be there, you might as well leave now because it would be crazy to not want to be playing in Dublin at a Euros.”
“I'm in a rich vein of form. Everything I do seems to come off. I'm playing every weekend; it's a dream come true for me.”
“There will be players that I've never played against, it will be interesting to see how I get on.”
“You can see it in games with Moutinho, he never panics on the ball and makes the right decision pretty much every time.”
“It's hard to put your shoulders back and say, 'right lads, let's win this game,' when we're not actually winning anything.”
