Yeah, I've been around all day doing some bits
and then realised Jack was going to be about
I haven't seen him for a while, spoke to him a bit over the summer
but it'll be great to see him. I haven't seen him for a few months
since before the pandemic, so just to congratulate him and wish him all the best.
Man like JG!
How are you?!
I'm good mate, you? Yeah good, brother
What's going on? Congrats, man. Congrats.
Crazy! I know it's crazy, yeah!
What's it been like. The whole - whole thing, just mad?
It's been different, cause like
obviously I've never actually moved, you know what I mean
Like I've gone in to new changing rooms
and England under ages and even the England first team and I've known people
When I walked in - so I've walked in with one of the staff
and obviously, it's a big changing room to go in to
It's not like the changing room where -
Yeah there's some big personalities and names in there
But, you know what J, man? The club has been unbelievable, you know, with my family
and I ain't just saying that - with my family and everything
That's what makes it easier It's makes it so much easier
and they've obviously been brilliant with me but all the players and staff
But now, looking back on it, it has been good for me
because I've spoken to people I might not have spoke to that much
Would've took you a bit longer to speak to them? Yeah I might've been just hanging around
With Phil and John and that? Them boys back now?
They came back today but we weren't in - we had today off.
So I've just been doing the stuff at the reception with the fans
I seen the family at the game on Saturday. I was speaking to your Dad
telling him where you should be staying
I said to him you probably won't go home, now you're up here.
I swear down, when I first moved up So it's been 15 years now
I used to go home 3 times a week, trim and that and see friends
Three times a year now, everyone loves to come up
It's decent up here, though. It's nice man, yeah. It's nice.
Nah, it's been good, we went for food today
we had a look around, trying to get a feel for where I'm going to live
but I've honestly loved it, I trained yesterday Training's decent, isn't it?
Yeah and the standard of the younger lads that come up as well
It's different Yeah, completely different.
Is Luke (Mbete) training with you? Centre-half?
I'm the worst at remembering names
I thought that! I thought, he's not going to know some of the guys
It was only like out of the first team it was only me, Bernardo and Rodri
Then it was all younger lads, and I was like, "Yes! Yes!"
Even the staff because there's so many, it's hard at the moment
Obviously after a few weeks I'll be solid. Yeah you'll be fine.
But I've loved every minute of it at the moment since I've been here
It's obviously been overwhelming coming here
It's different! Yeah, man!
the transfer and that and how it worked out -
On Thursday the club were brilliant coming here
Standing there, I didn't even know I was gonna be number 10!
because I walked in there,
Yeah, you don't know I didn't think
but then when the guy said to me, go in there your number's in there
surely it's got to be 10! Because, if I ask for 10 surely he ain't gonna be hanging up a next number
40 and that! for your first number!
Nah, I was buzzing
You feel better you know when you got a like - Yeah we were just saying
It's your number that you want to wear 7 and 10 they're my favourite ones
Even when I got 7 in the Euros - because I didn't ask for that I got given it, I was over the moon.
Where do you live? Over in Cheshire
That's where I was today, for food. Yeah it's alright over there.
Once I've settled, I just can't wait to get playing
Obviously I played last Saturday Wait until you hear that music, that Champions League music.
When the lads were telling me - they said, wait until you hear the music
I was like, yeah yeah. but when you're standing up there... unreal!
It's unreal, you just hear it and crack on!
So many people have said it to me, I can't wait. I can't wait to be just playing!
It was unreal making my debut the other day
Even the fans were so good when I came on, it just gives you that extra boost
But I just can't - obviously it was unreal to make my debut
but there's also a lot of first-team players missing
Yeah, yeah, yeah - that's standard Think there was eight or something
Me with De Bruyne man, I can't wait
There's just so much talent everywhere, so much depth in the squad in every position
Every position, Fully loaded Fully loaded
So what's the plan now? Training tomorow?
Training tomorrow, yeah. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday travelling down Saturday
That was the same, when I first joined here, I came and we had a game the next day
and I was asked, do I wanna come to watch the game I was like yeah yeah, course I do, went there
Starting. I was like woah! I was breathing, breathing!
See that's exactly what happened with me, the gaffer pulled me and was like, you're going to travel tomorrow
I said, yeah, yeah, cool.
then I thought, I've got to go back to the hotel and get my stuff
and then he goes, you'll be alright for 20 minutes? I was like, ahh?!
You can't say no! I can't just be brought in for that much money and be like, nah!
I just wanted to get out there Yeah of course!
Just to play! Four weeks is enough time not to play
First goal and that, you'll be fine Yeah, I know. I can't wait
That's what one of the guys asked me in the press conference
Is it gonna be different because at Villa everything went through you
and I said yeah it will be but it will benefit me as well because
at Villa a lot of the stuff went through me but I'd also get doubled-up and tripled-up on at times
here, they won't be able to do that because they're is so much talent They just pass to someone else!
at Villa we had talented players It's different, yeah
Mahrez, De Bruyne, Phil, Raheem, Bernardo, there's so much
Yeah it's mad. I spoke to Gabby (Agbonglahor) on Friday and was saying
It's gonna be easier in certain aspects because you're going to be one v one. Go on, beat me one v one!
Man like JG!
How are you?!
I'm good mate, you? Yeah good, brother
What's going on? Congrats, man. Congrats.
