"Why would I want to leave, how could anything compare with what I have here at City?" Goater told Manchester Online.
"I have spent five years building up a great relationship with the City fans and I want that to continue. I have worked hard to get to the point I am at now and anyone who knows me knows it is not in my nature to quit.
"Just because Robbie Fowler has come here my attitude has not changed. I am a team player and I will keep working as hard as I can to do what I can for City," he added.
"It is up to me to take my chances whenever they come and to make sure I am upbeat and ready when called. I want to make sure I give the manager a different option to Nicolas Anelka and Robbie.
"That will not change even if Kevin Keegan brings another striker into the club. If he says he doesn't see a future for me and that I don't figure in his plans then that is another matter but that hasn't happened and I hope that it doesn't.
"I love it at City and the fans know I love it here. I want to be around when we move to the new stadium. The manager wants us to finish in the top six and I feel that either this season or next that objective is achievable. We are a club moving forward and I feel as though I still have a part to play."
