Torreira has said that he prefers life in Italy and has struggled with the language barrier here.

His form fell off a cliff in the second half of the season. Not sure if that’s down to his first season abroad, dealing with no winter break or if he isn’t as good as we first thought.

They all complain about the weather....even if they are from Calais.
The language thing I've always found strange. These guys are rich as fuhk, with ample time. Get a language tutor around for an hour each day. Why don't they just create a school at the training ground.
Anyway, I expect him to be here for years to come and to improve. One of the brighter points of our season.
