I want to play in the Premier League, the Champions League, and I want to continue playing for England. If I'm going to do that, I have to play for my club and put in good performances for my club because there are other English midfielders who are doing that in the Premier League.
At a club like Liverpool, you have to win everything possible, and you have to play for both - the Premier League and the Champions League.
I am not sure where the future will take me, but I have always wanted to play regular Premier League football.
The only thing I regret is not winning the Premier League with Liverpool. I'll never know how that feels and experience the reaction of the city, as I did after Istanbul. It hurts because I know the people want the league title more than anything.
It's such a crazy league, the Championship. People used to say that to me, and when you are in the Premier League, you don't really take notice. It's a good league; it's tough, and I like it. But the Premier League is where I want to be, with Villa.
In Spain, they show many Premier League games on TV, and it is an inspirational league. Maybe I would like to play in the Premier League.
We want hungry players, players who have a burning ambition to play in the Premier League and stay in the Premier League for years to come.
Liverpool have won everything but never a World Championship. I am sure in the future they will once again make the effort to win the tournament. They have had good rhythm in the Premier League this season.
My head has just been all about wanting to play regular football in the Premier League.
What puts you in a different level is if you win the Premier League, and you're capable of challenging every season for the Premier League, and if you play Champions League, and you really believe, and you're a real contender one day to win the Champions League. That's my objective in Tottenham.
It disturbs me that Liverpool are not in the Champions League and fighting for the Premier League.
I know it is really hard to win a league, especially the Premier League, but we have experienced players here at Liverpool.
You don't want to have a good couple of years, come through the Championship, have a good first year in the Premier League and then not play in the Premier League for another year or so because that is a backward step.
I want to thank my two English clubs: Liverpool for bringing me to the Premier League and Chelsea for the trophies I won.
Many players in the French squad play in the Premier League or have played in the Premier League, so I knew about the level.
I'm sure I can work the Premier League, maybe my style of play is better suited to the Premier League than in the Championship.
