Kasper Schmeichel is pretty decent.

To answer the question WAY back in this topic, yes, language barriers keep the player from blending in properly. Say as an English club, you sign an African player who has no knowledge of the English language, and none of your other players or staff know his language. He will take at least a whole season, maybe longer, to fit in properly. He may perform excellently, but without any communication from his teammates he can't work WITH them anywhere near as well. A simple fix is to get another player who speaks both languages, English and whatever language that player speaks, or sign a staff member who speaks both.

Signing english players to a Portuguese club is ****, languague-wise. I signed wilshere for Sporting, and it took him 1 and a half season to learn portuguese.
