I think Arsene Wenger was good for me.

I do not need to show who I am to the people who do not know me.

This is football, you always have to compete to be able to play. When you're at a big club, it's like that.

People must not lose sight of the fact that football is a game. I would find it healthy that it remain so.

I would be very happy if my career ended the way it started.

Football is open to anyone, especially somebody like me who grew up in the Paris suburbs.

I have an affinity with Algeria, because I grew up with plenty of Algerian friends in the suburbs of Paris.

I went to Madrid to play football but I couldn't because I was never left in peace.

It's always good for a player to be on the pitch.

I've played as a striker all my life. To play on the right or the left is always difficult.

I worked hard when I played for Manchester City, Bolton, even in Fenerbahce.

When Real Madrid want you, it is difficult to say 'No' but, when I got there, I knew I could not stay longer.

If you ask all the players who have played with me, they will never say anything wrong about me.

I know that English football and the Premier League is the best.

I know my game and I know my qualities.

It's good to experience different things.

I left for Madrid at 20 years old and I didn't really know how it would go.

When I started to play football as far I was concerned I just played football. I didn't want all the stuff around it, the press and that.

When I left Arsenal, it was because I had done everything there and a big club like Real Madrid wanted me and even David Beckham couldn't turn them down.

Nowhere is the same as England and that's why so many players want to come over here. That is why I would like to finish my career over here.

When you live in England you can lead a normal life.

I like to walk down the street in England and just be myself but I could never do that in Spain. In Manchester I can walk down Deansgate and not be troubled.

The jobs of manager and director of football are too big for one individual - this I realised very quickly.

The club must come first.
