"It's where I call home," he told Sky Sports after posing for photos. Since the day I arrived, it felt like home. It was an easy choice for me.

Sometimes things are entertaining and other times they are not. I have had good experiences in my career, and I wanted to continue them. I like being here and I like this club.

The club's ambitions meet mine. There is so much more we can do. I would like to be involved in that. I would love to win a trophy as a Man City player.

I like to come here every day. The squad that we have now is really healthy and positive. There are some exciting players here that we can look forward to. Right now, we're in a good place.

It's great news. This was a big deal for us. Alex is an example of what City are about. Alex has always been there despite some ups and downs.

She has established herself as one of the top players in that position and has adapted well to playing centre-half. This is a great time for the club. We can move forward.

Alex is a great speaker. She helps teach the younger players how to play professional sports. She's played with some of the biggest players in the game.

Big improvements from Alex have been seen by us. She's coming into her prime, and I'm pretty sure she has more to come. It's great to have her for the next three years.

Laura Hunter works for Sky Sports.

Manchester City needs consistency. They really want it. The summer period is referred to as one of "rotation". It was one of the most thorough renovations. The squad was changed a lot.

stability and regularity are represented by Alex. City now look for leadership and direction from her.

While the squad has been transitioning, its role has changed as well. She is one of the best left-sided center-backs in the league. She admitted in an interview with the Guardian that she studies and analyses the game in an attempt to constantly refine her position.

wood's commitment is the most important part of winter business. They lost both of their opening WSL games and have been renascent ever since. There has been a 10-game win streak, and Greenwood is the rock. She is one of the most experienced players.

She has had the most touches and completed the most passes of any City player. Her delivery from set pieces is a big weapon. She is able to dictate from deep. You can bet that Greenwood is at the center of it when City are on top.
