limeburner 0 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 It's not that you have an opinion limeburner. In fact, it's boring if we all thought the same. I'm just trying to understand why you have that opinion. You've given no justification or rationale. That's all I was asking. Last paragraph of post 54 sums it up for me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Last paragraph of post 54 sums it up for me. Ok, I misunderstood. I thought it was because he is Mexican. But what you're saying is, it's because he is foreign and doesn't speak the language. As long as he speaks PC's language we may be in with a chance though. The settling in point is a good one though and I hope he can bring a few friends over to help him do just that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Its a difficult attitude to justify. Does messi speak english. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Its a difficult attitude to justify. Does messi speak english. No, and neither do Ozil or Costa or many of the other successful foreigners in England. But if limeburner wants only those who can speak the language, I think there are a few of the Scottish players who can't either. I don't get the attitude either but it just shows that there are some people who think we are better off by restricting the pool of players we have access to by insisting they speak English before they arrive. We've had many successful players in the past who knew very little English before they arrived, but learned while they were here. I'm just glad our manager has more vision than many of our supporters. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,299 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I'm quite sure our Portuguese manager & his staff will be more than capable of communicating with any Spanish-speaking players we sign who can't speak English 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublusince1982 243 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) Thanks for your OPINIONS lads.Ive got mine you have yours.Remember also ,if they are internationalists-----we wont see them for good parts of the season yeah that is a worry, think there are two weeks mid season they could miss if selected at a minimum This season its also a bigger worry as we start earlier than usual so would also miss most of july and june.
