Scottie's game changed with where he was at physically. He wasn't the same player at 21 as he was at 30.

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.
