www.marca.com/2013/10/07/futbol/futbol_internacional/espanoles_mundo/1381169253.html?cid=CM0803I'll try to translate despite my english is not good. Muniesa: -"Leave barcelona was very dificult but I knew this could happens" -"It was dificult, me and my family was nervous because we didn't know where we were going to go and finally we did come to Stoke. Im happy with this chance and Im going to work very hard" -"Im very happy, im adapting very well. MH is trying to change the style but its a bit dificult because the players has a diferent concept,by the way I think we are playing more atractive football than the lasts years" -"It's amazing, for them a throw in is almost a goal. The Britannia is always full and the culture of football of the people is very good, Im very hapy in that sense" -"Here the football its pretty direct, the ball goes more fast and all is faster. The crowd when you pass the midfield want you go to the goal. It's not like in Spain where is more slow and the midfielders touch more the ball" -"I have contact with Gerard Deulofeu, Luis Alberto, Joel, De Gea. I like talk with them because its a good oportunity to understand a little bit more the Premier League and England in general" -"Crouch is the most famous, He is very tall but also he has a very big ability with the ball" -"Wilson Palacios surprised me too, he plays with a very good class and Charlie Adam is great midfielder too" About the language he recognise: "I understand them but its a bit dificult talk but I hope with the time I can improve my english"

I'm actually pretty impressed with his English.

I would like to know How he would go in the defensive midfield role, just to satisfy my curiosity.

Thanks Alex, Glad he's seems happy at Stoke. From what little I've seen of him I think he reads the game very well, I'm looking forward to seeing him get more game time.
Your English is better than my spanish.

Muniesa would be my choice in central midfield personally. In fact i haven't actually picked my team for the West Brom game, that's always fun to do, here's Hancock's team if we're setting up how we've set up previously...
GK. Begovic
RB. Cameron
CB. Shawcross (c)
CB. Huth
LB. Pieters
CM. Muniesa
CM. Nzonzi
CM. Ireland
RM. Arnautovic
LM. Assaidi
ST. Jones

Seems like a nice, down to earth type of guy.
Would like to see more of him, break him in to the squad with a sub appearance every now and then.

"Charlie Adam is a great midfielder" Nice compliment for Charlie coming from a Barcelona-schooled player  |

Is the translation correct?

"Charlie Adam is a great midfielder" Is the translation correct? "Charlie Adam es un gran mediocentro" From my Spanish knowledge, it is Unless it's some kind of Spanish saying which actually means "Charlie Adam is a lazy bastard"  |

Certainly not 'great'. Muniesa's being diplomatic, me thinks. |

Like the look of that team, Hancock, but would go with Crouch instead of Jones.

Not a bad lineup, but Jones has had his chance and he will never be any good! It's either him, Crouch or Walters. Take your pick. I like the look of that team and I would persevere with Jones, let's face it he still hasn't played in a team this year with 2 proper and decent wingers, which is the most likely environment for him to succeed in as far as I am concerned. I don't get all this Jones has had his chance stuff, like you point out we have little to choose from and we need to play to our current strengths rather than to a philosophy which may not suit the players TP has left us with. |
