"I have to defend this. Nobody put a knife at the throat of anybody at QPR to come and discuss contracts. They wanted to extend my contract for another year at Anzhi. I could have earned more there. But I wanted to come back to England.
What would people have said if the owner didn't try anything? If he didn't spend any money? They would have said that he didn't care. But he did what he believed was right. The club believes in the players that have been brought here. They believe they are the right players for the club. The owner really is a passionate man. He has shown a fighting spirit for the club by doing all the business he could have done to improve the team.
Us players have come in to try and prove him right. (Loic) Remy, (Jermaine) Jenas and (Andros) Townsend have been fantastic. We all know what staying in the Premier League means to the fans.
But people still think that our attitude is, 'Whether we win or lose, we get paid'. They are wrong.
If I lose a game, I might get paid but I go home and it affects me. I am not doing anything. I am not going to restaurants. I am not going out at all. I'm not the nicest person when we lose. That's how it affects your life. Ask any player at any club, and they will tell you the same."
