according to that article posted earlier he committed himself to learning German quickly. Hope that's the case with his english lessons.
Are they any other German speakers here except Wimmer? Any of the Belgians perhaps?

Kyle Walker is actually a polyglot.I'm wary of United personally - Son is an upgrade on Mane and not much more than what Utd have bid already.
I can think of a few names for him!Kyle Walker is actually a polyglot.

You spelt my name wrong. And yes, I am employed by the club as a doctor of metaphysics.I think Freund might still be employed as resident light bulb-changer or something.

Kyle Walker is the only known professional footballer who constantly wears the expression of a man who has just discovered the biological consequences of masturbationKyle Walker is actually a polyglot.
Somewhere in a seedy club a snare drum has just beatDon't suppose you can fix teeth too? Then you'd be a transcendentist.

Where the "sensitive" rating?Not sure about anyone else but Son hasn't even signed and I'm already fed up with all the shit (and, at times, pretty much racist) jokes about his name, dogs and how Korea sounds like career. I'd expect better at a Jim Davidson gig.

That joke would have killed at a Continental Philosophy symposium
With a name like Son, whatever his nationality, football fanatics were always going to have some fun with it.Where the "sensitive" rating?
Come off it mate. A few people making puns about his name, hardly offensive is it? Same with the Korea thing. As for the dog thing I've hardly seen anything in here apart from one chant and although it's a stereo type, it's just one of those things. If their was a Korean football club's forum and they were signing an English player and they were joking about him eating fish and chips I'm sure no-one would give a shit and rightly so.
Racism is obviously a terrible thing but this isn't racist, just a few people having a laugh and throwing some stupid jokes about. Worst than a Jim Davidson gig? Wow. How about instead of turning a molehill into a mountain we celebrate the fact we could be on the edge of signing a good player!?
I'm kind of on the same page but then let's not forget we first heard of this yesterday (I'm ignoring the really early links). It's only just came to life really so I'm just happy about where it is at the minute. Would love him to be in the squad for Everton but being more realistic I hope he's WHL on Saturday eveningHate how quiet it is today in the media after yesterday's excitement.
Hopefully some more news on the deal later today
Exactly! I fail to see how a pun and a bit of worldplay on a name can be deemed as racist or offensiveWith a name like Son, whatever his nationality, football fanatics were always going to have some fun with it.

Your personal lack of knowledge of foreign leagues does not make Son a poor signing.At £22m, I'd really hope we'd be getting better players than Son.
Seems a lot for someone who doesn't offer much defensively or attacking wise other than being fast and a decent finisher.
Yarmolenko at £14m is far better.
Also, there's a lad at Leicester who would cost far less and is already doing it in the EPL.
Or Jefferson Montero, another good player.
Could always bid £22m for Jay Rodriguez, I'm sure Southampton wouldn't reject that kind of money.
