David Beckham is a patriot, and I am sure he will help in any way he can. Beckham needs to be part of any future plans to remould the England set-up. Beckham and players like him need to be integrated into the set-up in the same way that the Germans take on board former players from Beckenbauer to Rummenigge.
With Cleveland, I think they did a great job in knowing what their team needed, and when I came, I just did my job, and they fully embraced me.
Obviously, it has taken time to work with the players around me and with so many new faces coming in the summer, in a way it's been more difficult.
I've turned down a lot of trades where I might have gotten a better player, but I wasn't totally sure of the chemistry of that new player coming in. Even though he might possess golden ability, his personality and the way he gets along with teammates might be things you just don't want to cope with.
We know there are a lot of good secondaries out there. We are just trying to focus on what we can do to get better. We've got some new, young guys coming in and we are trying to catch them up to speed. We are trying to make sure that we have depth, making sure the guys behind us know what is going on. We are going to keep pushing each other to raise the standard for our secondary.
The greatest players fit with the team. They play within the team's style, rather than asking the team to change its style.
I'm enjoying myself at Celtic, I really like it here. I think it's a great club with great team-mates who have made me feel welcome.
Every player needs a little time to adjust to new teammates and the mentality of the coach when you change clubs.
Spring training is for getting to know your teammates and forming a chemistry. I dont like it.
It's difficult to gel players.
When you have a player like Tyus Jones, instantly chemistry is made.
People seem to expect when that happens, for players to be brought in that are so much better than the ones that have left. In the end they might be better but in the beginning they might be worse. Because they all have to gel and get to know each other and get to know you.
If you said to me there's a top quality player who you can bring in and we are confident he will add to your squad, but you have to work with him a bit and he can be a bit fiery, then you feel if you are bringing him into a good group the group can take care of that.
It's all right buying all these good players but they've got to gel, and that takes time.
The Lakers fans have been great, even folks in the supermarket are welcoming me back.
When there is a solid base of Italian players, those who come in take their example, and then everyone is working in the same direction.
Any new coach takes about six months to adjust to the system, and players also need time to understand his methods.
