One thing that shouldn't be overlooked is whether the lad can speak good English. I don't want someone who will struggle to fit into the team or communicate with his team mates.

So long as he can play football he'll fit in. He can always learn the language at his age he would be too late to be learning football, ask Colback.

No, he needs both. Rafa has left Mbemba out for most of the season allegedly because he can't speak good English. CBs need to be able to talk to the other players. I assume we would want this guy to be able play from day 1.

Agree and disagree with you.

Yes the team and the parts of the team need to communicate but the number of words required on a football pitch to be able to do this is not great and should be capable of being picked up relatively quickly especially nowadays where Clubs can organise specialist help.

A key issue would be the player's character and his determination to learn.

The most important factor, for me, is his footballing ability and whether he has a footballing brain. Again for me i would take footballing brain and ability over command of the English language every day. He can learn one the other he has to have been born with at least at this level.

Sorry if i have misunderstood you but i thought you were saying he must speak good English when he arrived. Don't disagree with the need or the importance of communication but i would not not ( sorry, double negative) buy a player just because he couldnt speak English. If everything else fits which includes temperament then go for him, the English can follow.
