You look at Patrick Vieira and Emmanuel Petit at Arsenal or Roy Keane at Man United, and they are players that can do everything.

Jamie Redknapp

I want to be wanted by Arsenal. I've grown up at Arsenal. I'm a homegrown player, and as long as Arsenal want me, then I'm happy.

Jack Wilshere

I got scouted for Tottenham and was there for three to four weeks before a phone call from Arsenal came. The first session they wanted to sign me so, happy days, I didn't look back. I'm an Arsenal fan, everyone in my family is Arsenal, so it wasn't a hard decision.

Reiss Nelson

If you win the midfield, you probably win the game. But that doesn't mean the players in the midfield are the ones alone who determine that, because now we have strikers who drop into midfield and defenders who move up into the midfield. It is the area you must dominate.

Xabi Alonso

I prefer to play in midfield, whether that is attacking midfield or defensive midfield.

Marouane Fellaini

I wanted out of my record deal with EMI. They wanted me to record one type of album; I wanted to record the type of music I wanted to make.

Joss Stone

I arrived back in Argentina and a week after I had the offer from Arsenal. They called my agent and my family and I thought it was all about signing a new contract for my club in Argentina because they wanted to offer me one at the time, but it was actually to sign for Arsenal.

Emiliano Martinez

President [Barack] Obama's choice of Rahm Emmanuel as his Chief of Staff was questionable, and perhaps coverups around the police violence against black people in Chicago is reflective of Mr. Emmanuel's values.

Julianne Malveaux

Today, if you don't understand the controller, you're not able to enjoy video games. ... We expect the Revolution controller to become the standard in video game controls.

Satoru Iwata

For me, I wanted to create something that's much more driven by a type of selfishness, a type of decadence.

Kehinde Wiley

Clubs have always wanted to buy me during the summer but I have always stayed loyal because I wanted to stay at Arsenal.

Freddie Ljungberg

I've played all over, to be honest. Centre-half, defensive midfield, attacking midfield.

Jack Rodwell

In the midfield, I'm not the most comfortable playing with my back to the goal, and in the midfield you find that ball a lot.

DeAndre Yedlin

I'm a very versatile player, I have covered many midfield roles but my favourite one is the centre-midfield.

Jorginho

I've never been able to control a first-person shooter, but as soon as I used the Revolution controller, I found it very easy to control the game. So, I think that's a genre that's particularly well suited for the controller.

Satoru Iwata

Thank you Arsenal. For me, I could not be happier to leave through the front door with the Arsenal fanbase supporting me and the club supporting me.

Emiliano Martinez
