Argentinian press seem to think this is just as close to being sorted.

Interesting to see if it was same/similar sources as when Cambiasso news broke...

Cambiasso having enjoyed his time here could be a huge plus for us. If one of the best Argentinean players of all time gives the thumbs up, you know its good

Perez, Rodgers also speaks Spanish. Riccy speaks Portugese which is similar I believe.

Spanish is closer to Italian I think.

Only going off what a Spanish person at work had said when I've quizzed her on Spanish

Grammatically Spanish is closest to Portuguese but Portuguese sounds completely different. 

 

Every chance Ricardo knows some Spanish. 

[UniFox21]

I'd be shocked if he didn't speak some English given how frequently spoken it is in Netherlands.

If we sign him for £20m and get £50m plus add ons for Chilwell this has to be the best business ever done by a club replacing a want-away player!

Maguire for £80 mill and Söyüncü for £20 mill?

I’d like to agree but Soyuncu was signed the season before, in preparation maybe but still not his direct replacement at the time 😉

Of course, doesn’t he speak a few languages?

I think Spanish is very similar to Portuguese on paper. Strangely, though, Portuguese sounds very much like Russian/Eastern European, while Spanish doesn't at all.

Portugese is now a mix of Spanish/Italian and Russian. Sounds a proper obscure one

No way..I ain't having that. 

 

Rodgers don't strike me as brainbox of Britain (or the Island of Ireland)

Fluent in Spanish and French apparently

Puel could barely string a sentence together after three years in the UK. Ranieri the same. 

 

I won't have it. Rodgers ordering a tapa or asking for 'le Gare' ain't fluency

Well, the Spanish and Italian similarities aren't surprising. Portuguese, Spanish, French and Italian are all derived from Latin. The Russian sound of Portuguese is very odd, though.

 

I heard a woman speaking English and her accent led me to believe she was from Eastern Europe somewhere. Was shocked to learn she was Portuguese (opposite end of the continent!). More recently, I heard an interview with Peter Serafinowicz, who said he did a voiceover for an advert with Pele in it (could have been the erectile disfunction thing he did). Pele spoke English in it, but his Brazilian/Portuguese accent was so strong it needed dubbing over. Serafinowicz also said it sounded Russian.

Avez vous un winger?

This is too good to be true. I don’t believe it.
