Who is your favourite Inter player?
"There are lots of great players here, like Cassano and Guarin for example. I hope to be able to do my bit and help Inter in the championship."
What's your favourite position?
"I like playing in the centre of midfield."
The fans are happy you're here. What do you think you can give them?
