Speaking on his move, he reckoned, "Of course, I took a lot of time to think. Much before the season ended, when the league was going on, this decision was taken. I met with the club (MCFC), and they told me you could move on, and they stood by my decision. That time, I consulted with my seniors and took the decision. I feel if you are a professional player and going to a club next season which you are facing in semi-finals and finals, there's shouldn't be a problem."
