I lost a bit of my form and confidence."[LNB]Hleb turned down offers from elsewhere to move to St Andrews, and the 29-year-old is confident he made the right decision.[LNB]He said: "I made a decision to come to Birmingham.[LNB]"I decided for one year to come back to the Premier League where I am very happy and want to take this chance."[LNB]Meanwhile, Hleb opted against adding fuel to speculation over a possible future move for former Arsenal team-mate Cesc Fabregas to Barca.[LNB]He added: "Cesc plays fantastically at Arsenal and is a leader and an important player.[LNB]"It is his decision if he wants to stay or leave."
