I am just wondering what kind of $$$ did we get?

See your point.It would surely help him to adapt quicker. BTW, Caceres was born and raised in Liverpool, NSW. He's aussie. His background might be from Uruguay. The kid might not even speak spanish .

He speaks Spanish for sure .
I had a beer with his dad & a Uruguayan friend of mine before the grandfinal.
The south American community in Western Sydney is very tight knit ( I grew up there as well).

We're allowed 5 visa spots, currently have two in Wee-Mac and Monty. Flores would make three. Smeltz would be four. Then a fifth spot... for Ambrosini? Or maybe they'll re-enter a new bid for Beckham...

What if Weemac & Smeltz became permanent residents?

 

[bikinigirl]

Patrick and Perez arrived same off-season

I remember hearing at the time that Patrick spoke Spanish...which I found interesting (since he spoke fluent English as well)

. i had quite a conversation with wee-pat as big-pat played interpreter ... felt sorry for them both - but most grateful

African youngsters.

All Dutch school students learn English, German, Spanish and often more, it's kind of awesome that the entire country is bilingual

[Tassiemariner]

In English please?

Edit:
I'm actually sure there is some 10 second delay between NSW and TAS internet. Second time in a month I've been done over!

Imagine having Internet forum grammar Nazis in 4 different languages!

Funny thing - if you learn another language, your spelling and grammar improves in your native tongue, because you get a stronger feel for how the language works and why we phrase things or spell things a certain way. My grammar in English improved immensely from studying French at uni for two years.

I'd hypothesise that multi-lingual people probably need the assistance of their friendly neighbourhood grammar nazi far less than those who (attempt to) speak/write one language only.

 

[dibo]

The upshot is that I can be a smarmy prick in two languages. #winning

Fair thee well Ollie. Methinks this would have been his best year to date but happy he's getting a move he is after.
He'll always have a hero's welcome on the Coast and at the Mariners

Yes I believe you're correct. I studied 3 modern languages and Latin at high school and I'm quite sure my command of English benefited greatly from the experience. Unfortunately I can't hold a conversation in any of them now, too many years of not using them have gone by. Of course, there are some unkind souls who claim that I can't hold a conversation in English either! I just they ignore.
