For a 20 year old the gap from Holland to England is massive. That's a fact. Not all players are able to settle in directly from day one. I remember even Van Persie needed two, three years but he became Van Persie.
I want to move to one of Europe's best clubs if I leave Rotterdam, just like Robin van Persie and Kuyt did before.
Robin Van Persie is a sensational striker and one of the best in Europe.
I can play with everyone, also with Robin van Persie.
Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney are both outstanding players.
I joined Arsenal to play with Robin van persie - not replace him
Michu and Van Persie are similar. They look alike. They are both tall, left-footed players. They are not fast, but they know when to make the runs.
I know Robin van Persie very well and he is a great person and I have a lot of contact with him over the phone and text messages.
I think a player like Van Persie can play for every team because he's a top player.
Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie are two of the best strikers in the league and the reason I came to the Premier League was to play against people like them.
I look for players who do not just score goals but provide an attacking point, linking with other players and able to see the third man as well. Van Persie is one of the best strikers around at that.
I want to become the ultimate centre forward. I want to be able to play on the left, on the right, and down the middle.
I pray Cardiff get back to the Premier League. If I sell Cardiff, I will buy another club in the U.K. I have a club in Sarajevo. The fans are fantastic. The people who run the club are incredible. They really motivate me. I'm looking at another club in Europe and then the MLS.
Basically, on the question of Europe, I want to see a social Europe, a cohesive Europe, a coherent Europe, not a free market Europe.
It's special - when you start playing, you are aware of names like Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie; you have seen them playing and know what great players they are. So it's fantastic to have a chance to line up with them. I'm really pleased with how that understanding has started off.
Porto prepared me really well and this didn't go unnoticed in Spain, as before I went to Real Madrid the club were known as a graveyard for centre-backs. They had amazing centre-backs that had failed there.
