No just a better manager and squad and more £££

But money doesn't buy class. You should know that more than anyone

I worked for a few years in and out of Milan. And most people I worked with had a better grasp of English, and they live in Milan. His language isn't terrible I just think it could be better, he shouldn't need a translator now.

To be fair, by definition you're unlikely to have spent much time talking to Italians with no grasp of English.

People aren’t robots, you don’t just programme English in and expect it to come out perfectly.

Everyone takes different amounts of time to learn languages and you can reach a bit of a plateau where you reach the end of your everyday language that you use and in situations like this, people use more unfamiliar language.

Two games in Japan suggests we don't intend to sell Mitoma until later in the summer.

Confident we won't sell mitoma next season. We will get at least one more out of him.

That's waiters for you.

I wish my Italian was as good as his English. It’s fine.

You didn’t take to Italian very well living and working with Italians in Italy for 18 months then?

The younger Albion generation seem to be more switched on than their peers, in regards to Q's.

Well said pb regarding replays

Facts wrong though. We went to West Brom for the replay and took around 800, not the 380 he quoted.

Bmuff are better than us, with the luxury of just weekend fixtures for this season. Last season we were light years ahead of them, next season will resume as a fair PL comparison.

True but I imagine they will be spending bigger and paying higher wages, so not a given. I have been impressed by their manager, annoying for such a tin pot club.

Agreed in that regard, but the fixture pile up/demand on the players/travel argument irks me when we and many other clubs are off to play friendlies across the world and were more than happy to agree to all 3 European competitions being expanded.

Really should be better at English 18 months in. But also can hide behind it like Bielsa did.

There speaks a man that has never learnt another language.

A few years? You must sound native!

A mid 40’s person trying to learn a new language, with no previous connection to Germanic languages, he’s done fine.

You can criticise his professional ability, but this scratching around to find more armchair sticks to beat him with, is getting silly.

Barber also got it wrong with the ages of our players, we do have a lot of younger players , and lots of players 30 or over ,
we don’t have many mid 20s players

Nope just commenting on you wishing you spoke Italian as well as he speaks English. It was directed at you not him. I am assuming you have never lived in Italy!

If I find out he is using spaghetti with his bolognese then I'm switching to De Zerbi Out.
