With a big Spanish influence?

[Return of the Rev]

How much Spanish is spoken around the Albion team,are any of the non Spanish players picking up the lingo,would be good to hear match instructions in Spanish throughout the team,might baffle the opponents a bit

I suspect (or would hope) it is all in English.

Calde & Orlandi speak better English than Noone did. Bruno speaks pretty well. Which only leaves Vicente & Lopez

Lopez, to judge from his Twitter, has a basic grasp of written English at least.

Anyone of Spanish origin at the club can always send their kids to the nearest school to the Amex, which just so happens to be an English / Spanish bi-lingual school.

I have seen Vicente speaking english to teammates during matches etc, they learn from such a young age that I'm sure he has a decent grasp by now.

Apparently his daughter lives in Brighton now so it makes sense for the whole family to get involved in the lingo.

As for Bruno, such is his influence on me, I only refer to The Amex as 'my house' now.

This wouldn't be unheard of. When Steve Harper was here, he mentioned that he already spoke some Spanish, as he'd picked it up, to assist communication with all the Spanish speaking defenders at Newcastle

Ha, that's great ... It must be quite a coup when attracting the Spaniards.

This is very true

I'm not sure you can call yourself an Albion fan unless you've signed up for a Spanish speaking course!?

We should easily be able to spot him, if he turns up here.

I can't remember which top flight manager gave all new foreign players 60 days to learn English.
It might be Ferguson, anyway I always thought it wasn't long.

I would have thought Charlie may have taught them a few English 'phrases'
