"Maturity brings many things. When I went to see them play against Wigan Athletic charity sheild match, some of his decision-making in terms of passing was brilliant. One-touch passing, good crosses. In the six years we had him, you just saw his game grow all the time, and he was a fantastic player. Now you see the complete player. His decision-making, his maturity, his experience, plus all the great skills he has got, they all make him the complete player.I wonder why haven't signed with any club so soon ,but to me he is now a polished diamond though they might have some add on shere and there but he is no ready to play "

“	‘The times at City were the best for me. It's sad to be going and, of course, it's hard to leave. It's hard to leave any team, but City isn’t just any team to me. I’ve never been anything but happy at Manchester City. It's been a hard season for everyone at the club and these are hard times. For me the fans are the key to the club and everything that happens. So it's tough to see them going through a difficult time, for me. It's hard for the players, but I feel more for the fans than I do the rest of the team. But I have so much love for the fans, and I want them to know that. The injuries are fine and I feel good. If you don’t play for a long time, like last season, it is always going to be difficult. As a player, though, you take it as it comes. It was a hard time for and it was difficult, but that is life. At the moment, I don’t know whether I’m going to play on. I’m looking for a club, but if it doesn’t happen I will find something else to do.’Salad in February 2011	”
