Pires speaking in a great Spanish -

Pires, it's a spanish name isn't it?

Half the Arsenal team speak spanish, you'd be suprised to know Lauren and Philippe Senderos, whose father is spanish are both fluent. Of Course Jose Antonio Reyes and Francesc Fabregas do as well. And there's the new youngster Fran Merida, as well as another player I'm sure.

It would explain why Real Madrid want to poach the whole Arsenal team off us every summer. :thmbdown:

You really have a problem since one day in May...

koloandyaya: Pires a spanish name? I have no idea. If so, it's not popular.

 

I was surprised to see the crowd singing my name, even though noone knew I was coming to Villarreal"

Everyone knew you were going to Villareal you fool.

Pires mother is Spanish, his Dad Portuguese, so i imagine Pires is a Portuguese name.

Indeed. I assure it now: You have a problem since a day of May.

I agree with you :howler:

So Pires mother is Spanish, his dad is Portuguese, his nationality is French but he lived(played) in England? p

 

i imagine Pires is a Portuguese name.

Correct. Quite common too, I'm told.

 

he has some portuguese links

 

him and Messi can fight for 2nd place. :shades:

and we get first?

 

Pires will probably play on the right of the diamond with cani on the left, I always thought Pires is better on the left, but he is still quality if not as effective as he was at his pomp.

--------Nihat-------Forlan-----
-----------Riquelme------------
----Cani-------------Pires------
------Senna/Tachinnardi--------

:eekani: this must be one of the most creative midfields in the world, even forlan can't miss with Roman, Cani, Pires and Nihat supplying him with so many chances p

 

First time I've seen him in the jersey, it's ... very strange to see him wearing a different shirt, even though I've long known about his transfer, obviously.

 

the yellow is not a first though, im sure he wore a similar coloured jersey when you had the battle of old trafford mark 1, when keown layed into RvN. p

no doubt that it is a great mid which is creative but i fear that it is too attacking and will not be able to withstand serious pressure as this formation will give no protection to the defenders

 

i think that either forlan or nihat will play

 

both will play, nihat is more a second strikr, whereas forlan is the more advanced striker.
