Jelavic improved massively going to the Premier League. He was great for Rangers, but Premier League is different: faster and more physical. He is perfect for the Premier League, has everything to succeed.
I love the Premier League, I absolutely love Premier League games. Removing myself a footballer, I watch the Premier League. It's a great league, fantastic football is played in it.
Of course the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world because it's so even. I think you can't really compare other leagues with the Premier League. In the Premier League, every team can beat every team, and in football, that's something where you can have surprises.
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.
I believe that the Premier League is the best league in the world, and having played in the Premier League for such a long time, it is to my advantage, and I know what to expect.
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.
I went from Chelsea to Fulham - two Premier League teams at the time - and was sitting on the bench for the Europa League and Premier League and you don't think it is going to finish.
Messi doesn't have to do it in the Premier League to prove himself. The Champions League is the ultimate club competition. If he was in the Premier League, he'd be the best player by some distance.
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.
In the Premier League a little half a second can punish you and you just have to be focused for all 90 or 95 minutes, whatever it may be.
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.
Many players in the French squad play in the Premier League or have played in the Premier League, so I knew about the level.
The England team shouldn't be picked on whichever players are in the Premier League when you've got a Premier League player playing in the Championship.
We have to do everything that we possibly can to get back to winning the Premier League. We are not successful until we do. Second is not success, we have to win the Premier League.
We are not a typical Premier League club. So we had to shop in different shops to other Premier League clubs.
Aston Villa had been in touch and they'd gone into the Premier League so I knew I could play in the Premier League just like that.
