When Southampton showed interest it was hard for me to turn down a club that has proven to be a great place for young players to grow and get given the opportunity to show a bigger audience that they are ready.
Football always changes. There are always new players coming in at your club or young players coming through with your club or England. You have to be ready, given 100%, improve, and get better.
Southampton have all the advantages to create good players; when you compare it to Serbia, Southampton has the better facilities. They can produce a player who is much more ready.
Chelsea is a big club, a club that has given me the opportunity to play as a starter, to grow even more.
It's hard to tell what an entire series is going to be based on the first few episodes, or even on the first season. And it's sad because you see great casts and good ideas that don't get that opportunity to grow and show what it could turn into.
If you're not a player, it's hard to get into this league. You need a small opportunity that you turn into a bigger opportunity.
For the fans, for the club, for the young players, I want to show there is a pathway at Fulham for young players to go through in the first team.
I always liked to be fairly simple because you could get more players ready to play quickly. If you lose players to free agency, injuries, etc., it is easier to get young players ready to play in a less complex system.
[Exorcist ] is given all of us a great opportunity to show something new on network TV, in terms of the quality of it. It feels much bigger than a network show.
If there's the opportunity to turn things around, that's what great players do. They don't complain or become complacent with losing. They just go back to work every day and try to turn things around and make wherever they are a great place to be.
I really want to go to a club that really wants me. Southampton gave me that opportunity, and it paid off, I think.
If you want to become a super club you have to be ready to play against super clubs. In the past couple of years, we've seen a mentality that has emerged that our players aren't on the field to get autographs. It's an opportunity to prove what we've been shouting from the rooftops for a long time, that we've been producing quality players and we can play with the best teams in the world.
If you are not performing consistently at a club like Arsenal, then there are other players ready to take the opportunity - which I learned the tough way.
It's tough being at Chelsea. I work hard every day in training. It's a massive club with really good players, so you don't get the opportunity every weekend.
I think it would be great to start a Super Bowl off with, 'The players are ready, the field is ready, let's get ready to rumble.'
I chose PSG because it's the biggest club in France and, for a young guy like me, a chance I couldn't turn down.
It's very difficult to know exactly what a major audience is going to respond to. 'We know they respond to certain personalities. That has been proven by the success of certain people in television who have gone from show to show and carried an audience with them. Apart from that, it's very hard to say what formula works.
