I've turned down Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus and Manchester United to play here. I hope everyone already knows how much it means to me to play for Newcastle United.

I've got a great life that I really enjoy. But there is something chewing at me inside: that adrenaline rush from football, I miss that.
