My career's been a bumpy road, but at the same time I think I am living proof that if you put enough work into things you decide more or less where you want to end up.

I suppose people lost interest in me when I left Liverpool; but it wasn't me who left, it was other people who left me. If people had continued to follow me, they would have seen my two good seasons in Turkey which caught the attention of Besiktas and Galatasaray.

I've done so much in my career but a little part of me feels I still have unfinished business here in the Premier League.

If you see the kids now they have attitude and a strong character. They play one or two games and demand they are involved. I didn't have that. I was too polite. It is not maybe always good to have fight, but gives a stamp - it shows directly that 'I am here. I mean business.'

I've said in earlier interviews maybe I should have stayed one or two more years in Holland.

I think the 20-year-old me from that time, if I could have been managed under Jurgen Klopp, I'd have benefitted.
