I've loved my time at Sunderland. It's benefited me so much, as I've just gained invaluable experience playing week-in, week-out in the Premier League and mixing it with the big boys.
The experience of being a Premier League player playing every week is just massive.
Playing week in, week out in the Premier League is massive. You're coming across the best players in the world in probably the best league in the world.
Petr Cech has been a top keeper in the Premier League for the last 10-12 years. When you're growing up, you see him making these saves week in, week out. He's probably been the most consistent goalkeeper in these last 10 years in the Premier League, so you can't give him too much criticism.
I want to be an established Premier League striker that is starting week in, week out.
I'm a more consistent player than I was and if I can keep averaging over 100 week-in and week-out in the Premier League I'll be happy.
I am happy to play in the Premier League. It's a competition which encourages players to give only their very best week in, week out and you have to be 100%.
You sit on the bench in the Premier League for one week, you could be playing for the rest of the season if the No. 1 at that time had a bad game.
Having grown up in Poland, it is a dream come true for me to be playing every week in the Premier League as the No. 1 goalkeeper.
When I was playing week-in week-out, I was playing 46 games a season, and there's nothing better than playing every week.
Of course, the best thing, if you play in the Premier League, you can always develop further as a player, and you are playing against the best players. You are also playing game after game all the time, two or three games a week.
Game-time is the most important thing for me. When you're playing week in, week out you have the confidence to show what you're capable of.
Experience is a big thing when playing in the Premier League - it's a different game to any other league.
I wanted to get experience of playing a season on loan at a club, to play week in, week out.
There's not many Premier League clubs as big as Sunderland, with their fanbase and stadium and facilities.
I grew up in Rochester, New York, where we had the North American Soccer League. Rochester were at the time the worst team in the whole league, but week in week out I was there to support my team.
Because we're playing tournaments week in and week out I'd think to myself, 'What's the point in practising?' You have no down time to yourself and you're looking for some to spend with your family and friends. But I've now realised that with the game so cut-throat and standards going up every week, it doesn't work.
