On a good team there are no superstars. There are great players who show they are great players by being able to play with others as a team.

What the numbers are in salaries or statistics don't matter; how they play together does.
The A's were a team with very few resources. We didn't have access to players who were obviously great, who could do it all and were always in the headlines. We couldn't afford those types of players. So we had to figure out a way of cobbling together players into a team that might be competitive.
Individual players don't win titles no matter how good you are as a player. The best players in the world need a team around them. It is about the team, and we are playing for the badge.

There is a common mistake people make. They say, 'We need to play the young English boys.' Of course, but only if they are good. How can you measure that?

You do see very few English players going abroad and those that do are largely good players otherwise they wouldn't have gone, but I feel a lot of their downfall is in the language.
