I fail to see how speaking Portuguese will enhance his career opportunities, unless he goes back to Portugal or Brazil.

Not one of the more popular languages out there.

err, Latin or maybe Gaelic would be easier to understand I suppose, for us east Edinburgh punters, or maybe a bit o' barry gadgie likesay!

It hasn’t worked out for RG in the way predicted, but there’s no doubting his talent. However, we have to be clear that this is a football rehab job, and those don’t always work out. But when then they do and a genuine player starts to perform at the level of their ability, it’s a fabulous thing to witness. Let’s hope this is a Scott Allan scenario.

Only the 6th largest inthe world which puts it above Russian.Also spoken in Capr Verde, Madeira, East Timor, Macau, Angola and Mozambique to name a few.

It would not be a huge leap and I’d imagine he probably does speak Spanish so that combined with Portuguese and English is pretty good coverage.

Plus He’ll be able to swear at Scottish refs and get away with it ;)

**LustForLeith** · 12-01-2019 06:13 AM

Has a got a song yet?

The obvious one is to the tune of Spandeu Ballets ‘Gold’ but for many that’s been retired after Rob Jones left

Please no baby shark.

The Rob Jones "Gold" song should stay retired for our cup final scoring and winning legend of a captain....imo.

Maybe just me but I can’t be arsed with loan signings. Just putting players in the window for other teams.

Yeah, send him back.

Buy someone not as good. At least he'll be ours and we can put him in the window for other teams to ignore.

Portuguese is the 9th most commonly spoken language in the world, using the most recent estimates. It has a not too dissimilar number of speakers as French and more speakers than German and I'm assuming most people would consider being able to speak either of these languages to be beneficial.

Obviously the number of Portuguese speakers is helped by the large population of Brazil but it is also the official language in eight other countries worldwide and widely used in many others.

Due to Brazil's size and influence in South America, Portuguese is widely spoken as a second language in several other South American nations and is an official language of the South American trade bloc.

Due to Portugal's colonial past, it's also an official language in countries in Africa and Asia so it's certainly a language which has a global reach and I think that with Gauld being bilingual will help him when he's looking for work after he finishes playing.

I just think it’s impressive how much he’s been able to pick it up, sounds fluent almost

Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese are very different. Much more so that say American English. I know because before moving off to work in Portugal, I learned (what I thought was) Portuguese. It was useless!

***Keith_M*** · 12-01-2019 09:42 AM

Can I just clarify something.

Does being able to speak Portugese make him a better player?

If so, that's obviously where I went wrong, as I tried to learn Spanish when I was young.

**~~southsider~~** · 12-01-2019 10:03 AM

Oh since you signed
We now have the magic that is Ryan Gauld
With dreams of Cup Glory
I am told
Oh Ryan Gauld, Ryan Gauld

***Northernhibee*** · 12-01-2019 10:04 AM

Time for the Rob Jones song to resurface?

***Northernhibee*** · 12-01-2019 10:06 AM

Something based on Heart of Gold by Neil Young? “We crossed the oceans for a Ryan Gauld”

**Smartie** · 12-01-2019 10:12 AM

We're missing a trick if we don't try to get Scott Brown to play beside him so we can sing "Gauld and Brown".

I think we're in for Ian Black ...

***Keith_M*** · 12-01-2019 10:27 AM

Could I just make a suggestion.

Before deciding what song we could sing about him, could we maybe just wait to see if he's actually any good?

**thegaffer12** · 12-01-2019 10:56 AM

I remember when Gauld initially moved abroad it was mentioned that he was getting a Portuguese language coach for evening lessons.

Nah - I’m down at ER singing songs now. Not about Ryan Gauld to be fair.

Nothing wrong with giving him a song part Of being a supporter making players feel welcome and wanted.

***The Spaceman*** · 12-01-2019 11:29 AM

Ryan Gauld DOO DOO DOO DOODOODOODOODOODO

That could maybe help in bringing Ronaldo????
