When you play with a big club, you need to get results every single day, even more when a homegrown player goes into the first team. It's not easy.

Bojan Krkic

A player's mind, body and soul have to be right to get the best out of them, and if a player no longer wants to be at a club then the club should try and get the best deal they can and let the player move on.

Adebayo Akinfenwa

For a young player like me, it is good to play for a club that can get to the semi-finals because one of the reasons I play football is for these big games.

Eden Hazard

When a big player leaves, a big player leaves. You're at a big club like Liverpool, another big player will come in the future.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

It is not always easy for a young player to come through at the club level, because all the clubs are able to buy for 20 million or 30 million and it is hard for young English talent to come through and to get recognition and be able to be part of the squad or start playing.

Edwin van der Sar

Sometimes, when you have an opportunity in your mind but you lose it because you have a contract with the club and you are an important player for that club, and you miss out on what could be your dream, sometimes it is not easy for a player.

Marco Silva

Being a young player arriving at a big club is great. It's something that really helps me on the way.

Eric Bailly

Ander is a fantastic young player, with great energy and creativity. We believe him to be one of the brightest young prospects in Spain and I am certain he will be a big hit with the United fans. I’m delighted he has made the decision to come to Manchester and play his part in the club’s future.

Ryan Giggs

I love Bournemouth. The place where we live is amazing. It's so chilled and nice, and also the club itself is a family club. Especially as a young player to come here, it's a perfect fit.

Nathan Ake

Every big player who leaves Arsenal is a massive loss. But no player here is bigger than the club.

Robin Van Persie

A player can have all the quality and everything it takes to play for a big-six team or to play for the best teams in the world but then sometimes it happens and it doesn't work out. It's not because of the player or the club, sometimes it's just the environment, it's the wrong timing.

Ilkay Gundogan

Leaving a club like Real and coming to as big a club as Manchester United makes you grow as a player and helps you progress in your career.

Angel Di Maria

Bayern is a big club and a big brand, but on a daily basis, it's a family club. You get to know the physios, the kit man, the chefs. It's also a club that's very close to the supporters. That proximity to the fans makes it special. That was surprising. In Liverpool and Madrid, there's more distance.

Xabi Alonso

When you join this club as a young player you know you've got a mountain to climb to get yourself into the first team. (on Manchester United)

Gary Neville

Arsenal is a great club - the facilities are wonderful - but I feel it is a club that takes big care before signing a player, notably considering human values.
