That's where I spent the biggest chunk of my career, having been at Juventus for ten years. That was the best thing that happened to me because it was where I got to know real football, at an ambitious club with ambitious players.

David Trezeguet

Dani Alves made it clear that he wanted to join Juventus and that says a lot. If players of his caliber join the club, that shows people believe in this project.

I have to be involved in negotiations because players have to buy into me and what I want from them if they join my club, so all managers need to be fully involved in transfers, that's for sure.

Alan Pardew

It's nice when you join another club that you know a couple of players.

Toby Alderweireld

Chelsea is an ambitious club and it will always be possible that a coach and the players are competitive at the highest level.

Michael Ballack

When I think of Arsenal, my favourite personal memory that I recall is scoring my first goal for the Club - away to Lazio in the Champions League. It was important because when you join a new club, you really want to score your first goal. It's where everything started for me at this club

Robert Pires

Everton is a really ambitious club and that is what I want.

Marco Silva

Join the bold, the brazen, the unintimidated. Join not having excuses. Join the idea that fun is the source of all joy. Join the unwillingness to give up. Join doing things your way. Join not joining. Join that purpose is stronger than outcome. Join your gut. Join the constant challenge of seeking greatness. Join play. Join the hunger to find what makes you happy. Join karma and nature and the effect you have on your world. Join your philosophy. Join something bigger than you. Join what you believe.

Bode Miller

In my team, I don't want selfish players. I prefer to lose a game than have selfish players. I don't want that in my club. Never.

Antonio Conte

There is a lot of crap spoken about footballers being nomads but when you get to a club and you create a spirit, there is no doubt players want to do well for their team-mates and club.

Chris Wilder

We want players here who are going to be here for the long term. Players who buy houses here, who settle in the area. It's a brilliant club, great supporters but we want players to come here to be part of that community rather than being ships in the night having a last pay day at Ipswich... we want to build for the future rather than do a quick fix because I think it's going to be a long-term job.

Paul Jewell

I think in the future we need to look at our youth department to provide more players for the first team think it is important for a club to have a good amount of players that have roots with the club and region.

Arsene Wenger

For some players it can be difficult at a smaller club and they suffer; they don't want to be at a club that's going to get relegated, so they think: 'Why am I here? What am I doing?' But it was good for me to go to Granada.

Andreas Pereira

If the club is doing good, the club is getting income, then the club can share it with the players. But when the situation is not going according to plan, you have to look at the financial bit and see what you can change.
