I had the social life there everyday with the lads in the dressing room. It wasn't a problem for me, but for my family it was difficult. They never came to me and said they weren't settling, but I had to notice it myself. I had to make a decision. We had pre-season in Austria and Watford contacted my agent to say they wanted me. I told him to take it. I wanted to go back home for my family. I don't really like to speak too much about this because there wasn't a reason really to leave. The last season went so well. I was gutted. I was kind of like depressed to leave the football club. I knew I wasn't just leaving the football club, I was leaving the city and the people. So it was really difficult for me. I made the transfer request to the club and initially they said no. I told them, ‘look, it's nothing to do with football. It's family reasons’. Eventually they accepted and I respect that. They understood the situation and let me go."[135]
