football team home
I want to play for Arsenal. When you see football all around the world, you see very few teams who play the way that we play. I just enjoy it. I feel it is my home now.
gunners
Once a gunner, always a gunner
player proud arsenal
I am really proud to HAVE been an Arsenal player.
soccer football play
Did you used to play for Barcelona? Because that's not Barcelona football.
two legends barcelona
Carles Puyol is a Barcelona legend. He could have been playing every two weeks but he has shown dignity until the end.
player thinking want
I am an Arsenal player and I don't think about anything else. I'm not going to say no to anybody, nor am I going to say yes to anybody. I did not say that I was going to leave Arsenal to go to Barcelona, because equally Barcelona doesn't want me.
focus said mum
My mum has always said I am too hard on myself. But I have always been like that and it has always helped me. After matches I focus only on what I did wrong. Never what I did well.
defenders
Best defender I have played against? Carles Puyol
football team fighting
He is a very complete, spectacular footballer. He always fights for the ball and tries to lose his marker to help his team-mates - either to defend or to have a shot on goal. For any football player in the Premiership, Scholes is a player you want to emulate. I would happily end my career with the medals that Scholes has. I am young and I hope that I will be able to surpass him - but it is not going to be easy.
running team games
Messi is the best in the world. Cristiano is a goalscorer. Messi is more taltented, more complete, tactically and footballwise. Cristiano isn't doing those runs anymore like at United. Messi takes more part in the game, I'd always prefer him in my team.
player games want
If I could reincarnate as another player, I might want to reincarnate as Thierry Henry at the top of his game.
team one-day ifs
If one day I leave Arsenal, I will never sign for another English team. Quite sure.
couple years progress
I've had a couple of years where injuries have not let me develop in the way I wanted. When I was 21, after the European Championship, I had more injuries. Everything has been less continuous and it has cost me more progress. Continuity is what got me where I am.
believe ambition winning
I do feel that I have unfinished business in the Premier League and now is the right time to return. I considered all the other offers very carefully and I firmly believe that Chelsea is the best choice. They match my footballing ambitions with their hunger and desire to win trophies.
