    At the club?

    HBA obviously
    Tiote I'd expect coming from Ivory Coast

    Just wondering if language barrier will be a problem for these new lads coming in.
    Is the club going to hire an interpreter? or a French speaking coach? How will any of them understand Beardsely? or Ranger for that matter?

    I guess most of our foreign contingent have adapted well enough, bet the dressing rooms mental with all the various accents and languages.

    I think they can give up on understanding Ranger already to be fair. We're not bad really, we've got English lads, a few Spanish speakers and the new French lot, Kruls English is fluent as most Dutchmen are, and Lovenkrands is Scottish anyway. Shame is that if Enrique goes and Colo doesn't get a new contract next year or whenever it is Harpers efforts to learn Spanish will be for nowt. On to the French lessons Harps!

    I'd imagine he'll be pretty good at English, most Western Europeans are. Not as ignorant as the average Brit when it comes to learning foreign languages.

    Tiote, Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Moyo, Abeid and probably a few reserve players, plus any new signings of course.

    Wasn't it reported that Olly Bernard helped Tiote out early on? Legend.

    Yea he did, tiote did a fans Q&A for NUFC.co.uk and Ollie acted as a translator for him. He still lives in Newcastle and runs a coffee shop somewhere in town. I think it would be good if the club used him as a kind of shaperone to help the French lads settle into the area.

    Wasnt Bernard declared bankrupt this year? Might have been Babayaro but I bet he'd welcome the work.

    It would be even worse if we were signing lots of Americans I suppose.
