There's also the fact that our team has a large number of French speakers and Portuguese speakers, like Gabriel himself. From what I've seen of them Lille really cares about the common language angle in their recruitment, so they have a similar case there also, a lot of French speakers and Portuguese speakers in the team.
we have Edu off the field, and Luiz on it - Luiz was given that extension for a reason, surelyBut Arteta, to my knowledge, doesn’t speak Portuguese. He speaks Spanish, French and English. Will that not make our Brazilian recruitment a problem?

They do have a point with the Everton stuff though.
His price tag and how easily we've jumped to the front of the queue does make me nervous. I'm hoping the former is due to Covid and the latter is due to Arteta/Pepe/London.
no wonder then that Özil has been droppedArteta would rather be able to directly communicate from the touchline.
Bum squad were creaming themselves over last years transfer window, telling us how a winger like Pepe would take the pressure off our **** defence. And how a one year loanee from Spain would settle into the Prem really quickly and wouldn't take all year.Bum squad are guys who hated Wenger, loved Enery, love Raul and Kia, love any crap signing this regime makes. They all loved the Fraser links for example. All were against Arteta.

Holding will generate fees, so it will be him.So if we get this deal over the line next week, who's the first CB out the door here? Ideally it'll be Sokratis, but think it could be Holding.
Possession-adjusted - they just create an aggregate based on the amount of possession his teams usually have.What’s pAdj?
Arteta speaks at least 4 other languages as far as I know, including Portuguese. He'll be fine.But Arteta, to my knowledge, doesn’t speak Portuguese. He speaks Spanish, French and English. Will that not make our Brazilian recruitment a problem?
I speak neither language but I know a lot of Portuguese people and it sounds almost identical to Spanish.Aren't Spanish and Portuguese close enough that speakers are able to hold basic conversations? How long would it take Arteta to learn?
We don't need any scouts now, no wonder we've sacked them all.Apparently Kia has a good relationship with Campos at Lille as well.

Spanish and Portuguese are almost similar. It's a bit like Scotland English and the queen's English. In fact, Brazilians speak Portuguese, they were colonised by Portuguese (of the top of my head).But Arteta, to my knowledge, doesn’t speak Portuguese. He speaks Spanish, French and English. Will that not make our Brazilian recruitment a problem?
