At the end of the day, West Ham are a Premier League football club and that's all that matters.

Mark Noble

If I was a normal player at West Ham and wanted to join a Chinese club, nobody would have said anything. But since I was a leader at West Ham and thought about that offer, I was suddenly a bad man.

Marko Arnautovic

When I was a player, you only left the club if they wanted to get rid of you. That was your team - if you were at West Ham, you didn't leave until the manager wanted to replace you. You didn't think about playing for Arsenal or Chelsea.

Harry Redknapp

You have to hit the ground running at West Ham. If you don't, suddenly from the fans it's, 'You're not good enough to play for our football club.'

Mark Noble

I had a year out playing local football before I went to Charlton at 12. West Ham was the club I supported so it was a hard decision to leave.

Jonjo Shelvey

But what a club West Ham are, such a big club, the supporters are fantastic.

Jose Fonte

I would never have left Athletic if it hadn't been for a club like United. I left a different, unique club, with a special philosophy and incredible people.

Ander Herrera

I would never have left Everton for anybody but an ambitious football club. And I thought Manchester United would have given me that opportunity.

David Moyes

I was very tired when I left West Ham, but that's my character really. I gave everything. It can be bad, that, because you need to be at your best when you manage a football team. The players take it on board and see how you are.

Gianfranco Zola

West Ham is a massive club and I want to do well. I want to create the same sort of feeling I've had at every other club.

Robert Snodgrass

I think that with West Ham, it was more complicated for me. It happened naturally; there was urgency to leave West Ham.

Dimitri Payet

My family have always been West Ham fans, so growing up, I used to go and watch them, and so I was a West Ham supporter.

Jack Wilshere

I actually had the chance to sign for Newcastle before I went to West Ham; I didn't in the end because they had got rid of their reserve team. There were a few clubs interested but I liked what West Ham had to offer and never regretted signing for them, I loved it straight away.

Michael Carrick

Thank you to all of the fans and everybody connected with Norwich City, West Ham United, Queens Park Rangers, Leeds United, Huddersfield Town, and Chelsea.
