Do the Spanish players speak good English?

[Giraffe]

I know Calders does but what about Bruno, Lopez, Orlandi and Vicente?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It all depends on what you mean by "good English".

The average English footballer might be challenged if he claimed to speak it.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Bruno can, he picked it up quickly. Orlandi has been in the UK for a while with Swansea so he is fluent. Vicente i still dont think can speak that much English and ive no idea about Spanish Dave, although hes made 1 or 2 tweets in English.

 

[desprateseagull]

about time we learnt some Spanglish..?

 

[SeagullSongs]

Maybe the next sponsored sticky should be spanish language CDs with discounts for Brighton fans?

Oatway said Bruno booked his own English lessons independently of the club as soon as he moved here on the podcast. He's probably as eloquent as the average footballer right now.

Apparently Orlandi speaks better English than Craig Noone did

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Over to you, Barry...

 

[nomoremithras4me]

I don't think Vicente can speak at all let alone English

 

[8ace]

Que?

Apparently Orlandi speaks better English than Craig Noone did

Without a trace of a Welsh accent.

 

[Gwylan]

I'd like to know if any of the non-Spanish contingent speak Spanish. It would be nice to know that some of them were making attempts to converse in our new players' language - perhaps non-English speakers like Casper and Brez would find it easier.

 

[The Large One]

It might help that the closest school to the stadium is an English / Spanish bi-lingual school.

The first in the country, I'm led to believe.

 

[Questions]

Maybe Vicente cannot talk...... Maybe a tongue injury to go with all the other ones.

 

[Simster]

What's Spanish for "Campeone campeone, ole ole ole!"?

Only I'll be happy to translate that into Spanish if we need to at the end of the season.
