There were suggestions earlier in the week that the England international was becoming unsettled at Eastlands, but he told the club's official website: "I said something in a moment of frustration and things can get blown out of proportion. "I am happy here. I love playing football more than anything, and I'd love to play in every game. "The first thing I thought, when you read something like that, is the fans will think I want to get away. "That hurt, because I care more about what the fans think than what anybody else thinks. "I think the fans understand that I just want to play. When I play I try to give 100 per cent every time, and I think that comes across in the way that I play."
