It is important that is the case because if you think too much about what might be it is a distraction and it can affect your game.

I am excited to play alongside players such as Tevez and Toure who I have only seen on the television and to be in the same team as players I have played against such as Boateng and Kompany.[LNB]'They will help me achieve my goal to be better in the future. I want to show the fans why the club paid the money for me. Everyone expects goals and I want to score them but most of all I want to contribute to a successful team. [LNB]'I don't want to talk about my skill - that is for other people to judge. However, I know my quality and when I am fit I am not afraid of a challenge. [LNB]'I don't know a lot about Manchester because I have only been once but I am looking forward to seeing the city and meeting the fans and getting to know everyone at the club.'[LNB] Man City win appeal over Zabaleta's red card for clash with SagnaSven is like a brother to me!
