I remember watching Bergkamp struggle in his first season, for example.
He'll get better with more game time.
It's a quicker game here, more aggressive. It's a different game than that in Spain. He'll be up against international strikers week-in, week-out. Messi and Ronaldo are not strikers, and so not his bread and butter - that's like comparing apples and banana's.
Language - yes. I've spent the 2nd half of my life working overseas (and I love it) - when moving from one country to another, though they all speak English, and teams vary in how much and how well they speak it - you still have to get used to it.
Until you've worked abroad, you've decided you can't see these factors - that's just fine and dandy.
He was done, for the penalty he gave away. I'm saying that's because he has no game time here, to watch for it, to adjust. You say it's not - that's fine.
A fine player. Will get better, with more game time. You say that's not a factor - cool.
