“I prefer to play as a striker, but I will do my best and try to win the game for…” — Danny Welbeck

Jack Wilshere is a prime example of how things work. He went to Bolton and did really well, then he went back to Arsenal and really kicked on. It is something quite a few of the young boys look at and think, 'If he can do it, so can we.'

I'm a centre forward, and that is my preferred position. But I'll play on the wing or in midfield, wherever the manager wants me to play.

Football's football. You're going to come across the good and the bad, but you've got to take it all in your stride.

It's football: sometimes you're fit, and sometimes you're not.
