English Premier League is much harder and quicker, and also, the referees are totally different because in England, they don't whistle after every small contact like in Germany.

Communication is important, and when you have an understanding with someone on the pitch, it is the most important thing.

Nobody is happy when they're not playing.

When the opportunity came, it was a fantastic thing for myself and my family to do, I couldn't wait to put on a Bosnia shirt, and I haven't really looked back since.

I started to play football when I was about 10; my father brought me to one school because there were more pitches where we could play.

The secret? Hard work. And more hard work.

Shevchenko was always the favourite player for me. He was my idol. When we met, we exchanged shirts and talked for a while. It was great.

After I finish with football, I will definitely go home. I won't stay in England, but I like it here, and I'm happy I'm doing what's best to give everything on the pitch, and then when I can, I relax. But the only bad thing is here maybe the rain is much more than in my country, but everything else I am happy with.

I'm fine at Wolfsburg, and I'm happy to be able to play in the Champions League.

The fans have always shown so much faith in my ability, and I feel so much love, both from supporters inside Manchester and from those all over the world.

Nothing compares to Rome. Nothing. People there are crazy about football - in a positive way.

I know people will criticise when you play bad; that is part of this job, and I am fine with that. That is not a problem. The problem is the insults. That is what hurts the most.

To be honest, I don't feel like I am able to say that I had a childhood, not in a way normal kids my age had. I had something that was specific to Bosnia in '90s, something I call a period of survival.

For every striker, it's important to have the confidence of the coach.

David Silva is a great player, and also, off the pitch, he's a great lad.

I don't like to talk too much about differences between managers.

We want to show the world that even if you go through some bad periods, you always have to think positive just to go forward.

I am genuinely flattered by Chelsea's interest. It's a club I really respect, and hold in great esteem.

I'm happy I've stayed because Rome has become my home and an indelible part of my life, in an almost unreal way.

I really don't need luxury.

I'm just a regular guy. I have a lot of friends and love to spend my time with them.

I am happy that United seems to be one of those against whom I score a lot!

I owe Wolfsburg everything. Without them, I would not have had the chance to play for Manchester City or Roma.

If you do not play well, it is normal that they criticise you. But criticism is part of the game, so you accept it.

I can just remember what I have seen, and then I often think about how I do well throughout the match, and then, if I miss one chance, everyone talks about the miss. Only that.

At Roma, it's not easy: if you win three games, you've won the league title; if you lose one, everything is bad.

For every player, it is important to be fit and have a good pre-season behind him.

I've followed Roma because my friend Miralem Pjanic is here. It's a great club. I have a good relationship with Miralem.

I have spent four wonderful years with Manchester City. They have grown a lot over the years.

Working hard, I hope to achieve the things I did in Manchester with Roma.

Strikers are expected to score, and I have two goals in eight games.

I try to assist team-mates.

I wish to thank all fans who support me, but the others should be ashamed because I am a born winner and always played my heart out for the national team.

I played my first derby, I won, and I scored. As good as it gets!

I love the Bundesliga, and I will return to the Bundesliga. I can just not say when I will return.

I'm happy to be with Roma, and I think the club should be, too.

I turned down a lot of money by not going to Chelsea, but that's not what I'm interested in.

Honestly, I don't know why we can't transfer the mentality we have in the Champions League to Serie A.

I was never a super sub before I came to City. I used to play always from the beginning, and I scored a lot of goals not as a sub.

I will never be a super sub. I want to play.

When you get 10-15 minutes, you can't be sad or angry with the coach. You just have to play your game and do your best. That is in my mind always.

I came here to win titles with Roma. I can only promise one thing, and that is that I will give my best for this club in every game.

I'm really happy here at City. It's a second home to me, so it was an easy decision to stay for the long term. I knew from the beginning when I started here that I wanted to stay for a long time - I can't see any place better than here.

I was always attracted most to joining City, and I am pleased to be at such a good club with such a big ambition as Manchester City.

United always had that flag which counted the years City were without a title, making fun of our fans. After the 6-1, they were quiet!

Since I left, I follow every City game in every competition, and it's just natural for me because I feel it is still my club, even if I'm not there anymore.

Everybody speaks about City having lots of money, but it is not about that. It is about ambition, and I have spoken to Coach Mancini, and he told me, 'This is the best club for you.'

City are playing for first place in the Premier League, and that is what I want.

I am excited to play alongside players such as Carlos Tevez and Yaya Toure, whom I have only seen on TV, and to be in the same team as players I have played against such as Jerome Boateng and Vincent Kompany.

Every player needs time to settle in and to get used to a new club, from knowing the league to the other players - everything.
