It wasn't easy to leave Barcelona. I fulfilled a dream when I moved there - to play in Spain and for the champions - but very few players stay in the same club all their life. To leave is normal.
I didn't leave Barcelona in the best way but I took the decision to leave and I don't regret it. There were a few problems with the club - some misunderstandings - and so I decided to leave because I wanted to develop as a player.
It's not easy to say no to a club like Barcelona. They are European champions, they're in a lovely city, and I like Spain a lot.
Leave everything. Leave Dada. Leave your wife. Leave your mistress. Leave your hopes and fears. Leave your children in the woods. Leave the substance for the shadow. Leave your easy life, leave what you are given for the future. Set off on the roads.
Barcelona is my life. They have brought me to where I am today. I could not leave, I don't want to leave. I know the Premier League is very good. But I cannot see myself playing in England because my heart is with Barcelona, always.
There's no truth at all that I would leave United - I want to stay here, and I have no reason to leave. I would like to stay here for life, of course - why not? It's the best club in the world.
In every club, sometimes players leave. It is not easy, but this is football.
I never lacked respect to the fans and I think every player should be allowed to stay or leave a club. You are not obligated to remain at a club, if you wish to leave then the player has that right.
It's not easy playing against Barcelona in the Champions League. They are a club with a lot of history.
It's obvious that my dream is to stay at Barcelona. It's cost too much to get here to then have to leave. I have my family here, their support, the fans and my teammates. I don't think I'd be happier anywhere else.
We know the Premier League is a spectacular league. We would like to play there, but if you take all the positives and all the negatives, it's very difficult to leave Barcelona. If you feel at home and you're from Barcelona it's difficult to change.
I had 11 or 12 years in Barcelona, my family is there and also many friends. The fans loved me, I felt highly valued throughout the club and it is always hard to leave the club of your dreams.
I don't want to leave Barcelona. I'm very happy here, and I want to stay on.
Spain have got a big influence from Real Madrid and Barcelona, and when you watch Spain play, it's almost like watching Barcelona or Real Madrid at times.
I leave you love. I leave you hope. I leave you the challenge of developing confidence in one another. I leave you respect for the use of power. I leave you faith. I leave you racial dignity.
It has always been my dream to be at Barcelona, and now I'm here; I'm very happy. It is the best club in the world with the best players in the world.
It was hard to leave my boyhood club Arsenal, it's still my dream to play for Arsenal, but I know I have to put that on hold and go and play abroad to get some experience in Germany.
