Agree VOF. It was that goal that broke the camel’s back. Watching that video again. Berra and KP were livid with Pontus. It looked like Pontus was on an island then and there. PJ also looked a little bewildered at the team’s reaction. At the time I was with Pontus. Loved how he got into it with those two Villa Pr 1 Kz.
I worked at a firm over here for 27 years, when I came out of the Army the wife asked, Germany or England?..
Wife with 2 German kids I said better one unhappy here than three unhappy in England!..
Now I'm stuck here on my own!..
Language barrier, crap, when I started working on the German market I spoke no German, I learnt it day by day with my new work mates, think they had a lot off fun and me I thought wtf!..
Players, and anyone else around football, they do/will learn the language, and on the pitch they only have to know when to collect the ball, get rid, shoot, pass, leave!..
The hardest part for all would be to recognize their players voices and play it from there!..
It shouldn't take to long to pick up the "F'ing and Blinding" that goes on behind the refs back!..
Yeah but Bielsa hasn’t learnt it day by day or chooses not to use it day by day.
This isn’t so much about the training ground, it’s wanting to talk about why not picked, or concern over an injury or some personal issue you need to speak to the boss about.
In those circumstances the language is a barrier.

As for learning English - at 63, it would be incredibly difficult to learn a foreign language to a good level.

Rubbish, it all depends how much you want it
I was going to start another thread but cant bare the thought off another Pontus thread so I'll ask it here!..
Whilst everybody is asking about the 5,5m and Brentford, I've not seen the question asked about Pontus's Agent!..
Did he know nothing about this fall out?....I mean if he did surely he'd be or one off his many helpers would be on their phones,(handy's!)to other agents, contacts saying that Pontus was going cheaply!..
Just wondering why like many Brentford and why not a few squid more!..
Its looking like somethings gone on that nobody outside the club knows anything about but could have been bad for the club on the long run!..

I've mentioned the agent (possibly on Facebook not on here)
Surely, he could have got his client a PL move a few million more for us and more than the £30k a week he is getting at the Bees!?!
I thought his job and pay was for the highest bid possible!..
Seems he didn't make much on this one!..

Not rubbish. Just scientifically proven to be more difficult to learn foreign languages the older you are.

exactly. children are like sponges but the older you get your sponge doesn't pick up as much.
reminds me of a corny joke my father used to tell. when he was in japan all the children were brilliant, they could all speak japenese.
Sorry but having read this:
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/09/pontus-jansson-leeds-needed-money-brentford-bielsa-language
Gullible as the guardian is, I believe there is some truth in our lack of cash. We have SOLD 2 players, how many have ae actually purchased outright? They're all loanees.
As said previously, Radz has no real interest in getting us promoted, he has no cash. Should sell asap so the club have a hope of a brighter future. Aside from the Costa loan deal, this for me is a worse pre season than in was expecting. The one thing that keeps me positive is that MB is still there ..
Read Peter Jansson's (Pontus's brother) twitter.
They shopped him to Prem Clubs - no takers!
