Best bit? Only speaking English in training. The idea of having multi-lingual stuff in training would have blown my mind. It would have been a disaster for cohesion and connections that Regis loves.

I think, from the very little I've been told, the common language will be English ... group training, meetings and practice games will be in English as will anything PR related. Individual coaching sessions, for attack/midfield/defence will be at the discretion of the coaches and players.

If there's a training group of French speaking midfield players, and RLB, it clearly makes sense for the language to be French, no point taking chances by trying to be too clever. That's all I've been told and guessed some of it tbh.

I offered my services, to the club, but unsurprisingly got a nice letter and nothing else. I have a lovely place here, in Fife, and would've happily taken in a French speaking apprentice but it's totally impractical. If I'd been in Durham I'd have jumped at the chance ...

... shame I could've taught them all kinds of slang and bad language.

I've been promised a meeting with Mrs RLB, who needs help with her English apparently, so I'll push for that and ingratiate mesel <laugh>

Fair play.

For me it needs to be all English, no exceptions. Wenger was strong on this. On the pitch, on a match day, there can be no exceptions. If one player hears an instruction they all need to hear it. The best way to make sure players are speaking English, is only speak English. In my opinion anyway.

It seems like all of the lads coming in speak English to a good level. I suspect that is one of the things they have set as a pre-req. Hope so anyway. I was once in an academy setup and there were a couple of lads from France. Brilliant players. Brilliant lads. And they refused to speak anything other than English. It slowed us down a bit, but not for long. They picked it up really quickly because they were committed. I reckon our new lads are the same.

Hopefully get the Keeper signed and potentially the one having a medical (if it’s true) with xhaka already confirmed, fingers crossed they’re all cleared in time for the weekend’s match and it puts a few thousand on the gate for the Jimmy Montgomery stand to be opened
