"Torino have been talked about so much. I know that Mazzarri wanted me but in the end I decided to stay at Watford because in the past years, due to physical problems, I was not able to give everything that is in my quality."
"The goal is always to stay up and we must reach it as soon as possible. Gracia is really good, I was particularly impressed by his management of the squad: he makes everyone feel important, who plays and even more who don't play. It gives us confidence."
On national team:
"I want to return to the national team. I've always worked hard for that and I'm waiting for my opportunity. I am calm but above all confident. If I continue like this, you never know."
"Pundits talk about Watford getting relegated but it doesn’t affect the players. We know our targets. At the end of December, you’ll see where we are. You’ll see what we are fighting for. It’s not going to be easy for other clubs to play us.”
“I know it’s a different club. But when I moved from Juventus to here, I just wanted to play. It takes time to adapt to a new place, as soon as you get used to all the people working here it becomes fine, and everything gets better.”
On playing down the left:
“I like that position best, it’s definitely the position I feel more comfortable with, and I hope to keep playing that position."
