FindernRam Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 A snippet in the paper stated that at Watford the squad talk in 20 languages! Got me thinking Derby are at the moment one of the least diverse teams around in terms of what they speak as first language. Anybody know different?

Animal is a Ram Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Wouldn't be a great surprise, given most of the squad are UK/Eire, with Vydra and Weimann being the most notable exceptions. I'd imagine that we're about the same as most clubs at this level and below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagerbob Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Even a club with 20 different native speakers, doesnt mean 20 languages get spoken at the training ground. English is the international language and spoken at a very good level by most small countries. It would take a collection of 3 or more individials from one country in the playing staff for them to suddenly start using it amoungst themselves, and even then, they would change it for the larger group. Apart from the money, one main reason for the influx of foreigners in the Premier is because english is our language and most people are happy with that. Im sure theres a lot of individuals are more happy coming to england then having to go to germany, spain or italy where they might not be so fine with the idea of learning a new difficult language.

FindernRam Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 The thing with Watford said the problem was they weren't all speaking English including the manager who said cliques were forming and he was going to force the use of English. Good luck with that. Also says something about the dire state of British players and managers in Football today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
