Is he fluent in English, or will Sonko have to help him out like he has with some other recent newcomers?

Can't agree with your view, Chaney. The playing fortunes of football clubs are determined by players, coaches and their support (from staff and fans) - not by the owners except in extremely unusual situations like the Russian at Chelsea.
