Could have done the same with Jota and Salah. Crazy

Milner and Thiago speak Spanish, he’s been in Portugal for a few years so should be OK with the Portuguese speaking lads

Am I right in thinking that Jota, Diaz, Mane and Salah cost only marginally more than Slabhead and Sancho??

My partner understands it perfectly however he is bilingual in English and speaks Italian so he is unique in the Brazilian world (only 5% speak English), However I’ve been learning Portuguese and the words are roughly the same and I do well on pointless on the Spanish rounds so I reckon he will have learnt it if not.

Of course there are the odd differences bit like American English and British English.

He is tri-lingual or a polyglot :clap: :slightly_smiling_face:

My tutor is fluent in 5 languages and teaches them, now she is learning Arabic, she loves languages.

Huzzah for FFP, huzzah.

Now if someone could point them down the road to Manchester again, that’d be great.

Polyglot though he isn’t fluent in French and Spanish he can pretty much speak them.

He sounds like a Londoner it shocks people when he tells them where he is from.

Schwakoff? Don’t mind if I do.

I’m loving him already. Buzzing, I am. Buzzing.

Anyhow this at least has filled the void of football.

Luis Diaz begins medical in Argentina before ÂŁ37.5m move to Liverpool

Luis DĂ­az has begun his medical as Liverpool seek to finalise a ÂŁ37.5 million move for the Porto and Colombia winger.

Jim Moxon, the Liverpool club doctor, and David Woodfine, their director of loan management, have travelled to Argentina, where Colombia play on Tuesday. The medical tests are likely to be split over two days, with DĂ­az also scheduled to take part in training sessions for the national team.

Liverpool have prepared a contract which will run until the summer of 2027 for DĂ­az, who is set to earn about ÂŁ90,000 per week. Even if there are no hitches, the 25-year-old is unlikely to be on Merseyside until the end of next week as visa issues need to be resolved.

Díaz played for Colombia in a 1-0 defeat by Peru on Friday before travelling to Argentina for Tuesday’s game in Córdoba. Liverpool hijacked Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Díaz, who plays on the left wing, on Thursday after Porto agreed to drop their asking price from a guaranteed fee of £50 million.

Tottenham — who also missed out on a deal for Adama Traoré, the Wolves winger having opted to join Barcelona instead — have therefore been forced to switch their focus and are in talks with Juventus to seal a double deal for Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur.

Twitterati are claiming that he had already done his medical, the sources are unreliable though. Just the work permit papers need to be submitted on Monday to the Home Office.

That reminds me of when Mascherano played for West Ham.

Is it pre-tax? Doesn’t it look a bit steep for the first contract?

I think players’ wages are always reported pre-tax.

No idea where 90k a week puts him in the pecking order.
