I mean no disrespect to Scottish football, but the Premier League is the biggest stage and highest profile league of all.

Peter Shilton

I thought I had joined one of the best clubs in the world, one of the biggest names around, and I had, though within a few years, it became clear that I had arrived at one of the worst moments in Liverpool's whole history.

Pepe Reina

Achieving Champions League football is the minimum requirement and always the most important thing for [Dortmund Borussia] club. Beyond that, we want to win a trophy. Maybe the German Cup, because we've reached the last three finals, but haven't won one, so that's a big motivation for us.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

I went to Borussia Dortmund on trial with a bag and some clothes, not knowing what my next move was going to be.

Paul Lambert

When I left the club, I said in an interview that my chapter with Borussia Dortmund was not over. I just wanted to realize my dream of playing in the Premier League.

Shinji Kagawa

In my time here, I've seen that Borussia Dortmund has developed steadily. We have become German champions and played in the Champions League.

Shinji Kagawa

Borussia Dortmund was the best solution for me. I wanted to have an experience abroad and in the Champions League. Then there are the fans - it was said they always supported the team, but I didn't think like this.

Ciro Immobile

I gave my first interview when I arrived at Chelsea in 2004, and I had said that it had been my dream to play for one of the best clubs in the world and in the best league in the world - this came true, and I am very pleased my dream will last.

Petr Cech

I had three years of success with Molde, winning the League twice and the Cup. I thought I was fully prepared, that I was ready for the Premier League. But it's a completely different world there. Everything is much bigger.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

I've had three or four Scottish Premier League clubs contact me about going there and doing something. A couple of those clubs couldn't be further away from London so I'd have to seriously think about it, but it's nice to be sought after and nice to be wanted.

Adebayo Akinfenwa

To be honest, my time at Dortmund wasn't a big success. I didn't settle well at the club and eventually moved on to Sevilla. But I am forever grateful about it because it gave me the opportunity to work with Jurgen Klopp. If I didn't go to Germany, I would never have had a chance to work with him.

Ciro Immobile

The World Cup was the biggest thing ever for the national team, but the Champions League is the biggest thing for clubs.

David Villa

It was a tricky one as I had other clubs interested in me, not as big as United. I wasn't guaranteed game time anywhere, so why not take this opportunity at the biggest club in the world? If it doesn't work out, I can always go somewhere else. That was my mindset at the time.

Daniel James

We have our ambitions [in Dortmund Borussia], and of course I would love to win some titles after some years of finishing second or losing finals.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

America felt victorious and generous after World War II. They had also learned from the mistakes after World War I when they imposed punishment on Germany. What became of Germany? A Nazi dictatorship which threatened the world. Today's Germany doesn't feel as prosperous and generous as America then. But actually, Germany still is very prosperous.
