Language barrier seals deal
By Alex Dunn - Created on 30 Dec 2005
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has conceded that language problems were a major factor in his decision to swap Josemi for Jan Kromkamp.
A deal is expected to be concluded with Villarreal in the next few days, with both players having struggled to adapt to a new country and foreign tongues.
An agreement between Liverpool and Villarreal has been struck, with Benitez now set to discuss personal terms with Holland international Kromkamp.
Spaniard Josemi was Benitez's first signing at Anfield but has struggled to adapt fully to life in England having failed to grasp a full command of the English language.
"We have an agreement with Villarreal, and if we can get an agreement with both the players then we will swap them,'' said Benitez.
"Josemi is a right-back with some problems here with English, and Kromkamp has problems with Spanish at his new club.
"Maybe this swap will be good for both of them. Josemi is happy here, he's a good professional, but he sometimes prefers to talk in Spanish and to do that when he is with the Spanish players here.
''Josemi has improved his English, but for him and his family it has been difficult.
"Kromkamp has the same problem at Villarreal with the Spanish language. We still need to talk to both players, but in a few days maybe he will be here training with us.
"He is a strong full-back, aggressive and offensive. He can play as a full-back or a wing-back, but I would rather now wait to make sure the deal can be completed."
