Given joined City in the January transfer windwo after a decade of superb service to Newcastle.
“It was a big decision but I definitely feel I have made the right move,” he told the Manchester Evening News.
“I still have strong feelings for Newcastle, so it was strange to be at a different club.
“But the longer I have been here the more settled I have felt.
“City could have signed any keeper in the world so I feel lucky that they wanted to bring me to the club.”
“In years to come I think this will be a great club to be involved with,” he added. “But Rome was not built in a day.
“People automatically feel we are a top-six team because we are one of the richest clubs in the world.
“They are comparing us to Chelsea when Roman Abramovich took over but they were already a top four side who just added more quality to make them champions.
“It is going to take us longer. Everybody is impatient and want us to be there yesterday but we have got to put the building blocks in place.”
