“When Manchester City came for me it was the best choice to come here.”
“From the start, there was unanimity about my arrival at Manchester City. The coach, the executive director Garry Cook, and chairman Khaldoun al-Mubarak - I felt everyone wanted me.”
“Arsenal remains a big club, but the building of Emirates Stadium changed a lot of things.”
“I'm really happy that West Ham and Manuel Pellegrini have given me a chance to be playing again.”
“When you win the league, it's different. Saying it is one thing, but when you win it, you know all your hard work for the season has just been rewarded.”
“Arsenal do not have money to spend, so they are gambling on young players. Arsenal are obliged to sell their best players and bet on youth - but what counts is having a team, great players, and a solid squad to win titles.”
“A lot of things have changed in my life and for the best. I'm really happy about it. I'm just blessed.”
“Marseille has a big Muslim community. The good thing is it is a melting point: all nationalities in there. Everyone is fine with each other. It is really close to North Africa, to Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, so a lot of them come from there.”
“All my career, I've played in great teams - Marseille was a great team, Arsenal was a great thing, but we never won a trophy. With Manchester City, first year, it happened, and it was just a big relief.”
“You can't be the best every game. Even Messi can have a bad game.”
“I'm used to dealing with pressure.”
“If I stay working with Pep Guardiola, if he wants me, he's just going to be a lucky man because I will be really hungry. I am the type of player for his philosophy and the way he likes his team.”
“The problem is you lose too much energy when you play in the Premier League. Even when you play the team on the bottom, it is difficult.”
“In December, every league has a break, but in England, it is not like this.”
“Tactically, I know how to play on one side even though I remain convinced that I can play better through the middle.”
“When you're a player, you want the manager to know your quality and to want you.”
“I like to be the winner; I like to change. I like to make history.”
“I like Sevilla's attacking style. That is why I chose them.”
