"I'm desperate to play Champions League football, and that's why I have to leave Villa." — Gareth Barry

I obviously think I should always be picked. Every player thinks he's good enough to be playing every week.

It's nice hearing your team-mates wanting you to stay.

All I can do is give 100% for the club. That is all the fans will want to see anyway.

It's why the Premier League is watched so much all over the world: because it has more pace and more physicality than in any other league.
