00:00I think honestly when I first heard that City were interested I was like oh that's definitely
00:04really interesting whilst in the end it's a pretty easy choice for me.
00:12I think I am only 27 obviously. I haven't played as much football as I wished over the last two
00:18years but I think I hope my best years are still to come and I really hope that that's going to be
00:23here at City. Over the last couple years at Arsenal we've played City a lot of times and I think
00:30it's always been one of the most exciting games. Obviously it's a top game, it's a top club but
00:35also I think the way we played against each other was really really nice because we both wanted to
00:38play football. I'm obviously quite fortunate because I do know my two duchies here. I also
00:42do know a lot of the English girls already but yeah I definitely spoke with Jill about everything.
00:48She really really enjoys it and I think if Jill enjoys it it must be a good place. I think again
00:53looking forward to the future I always said that I want to play with the best players in the world
00:58and I think City have got that. I think attacking wise obviously they've got so many different
01:05players, different qualities and I hope that I can add some different qualities to that again.
01:09Obviously I've seen Gerrard around the last couple years. I have had conversations with him,
01:14we spoke about the future of the club, obviously the way he wants to train, what his plans are and
01:20it just got me really excited. I really wanted to stay in the WSL, not really for the records but
01:25for the development of the league. I think over the last couple of years we've literally gone from
01:29playing in the smaller stadiums with maybe 500 people in the stands to selling out crowds all
01:35over the country. Obviously I've been very fortunate to play in front of a lot of big
01:39crowds and I can't wait to play in front of the City fans. I don't normally celebrate goals
01:45but I hope that I am going to be able to celebrate a lot of good moments with the fans.
