Kompany's Manc accent

Just watched the CityTV interview with Vincent Kompany at the Austrian training camp and he's got such a strong Manchester accent. He says "bin" for "been" and "back" with a flat vowel. He could be on Coronation Street no problem. Have any other foreign but English-speaking players picked up the local accent? Do Balotelli and Dzeko talk like Mancs? Do Liverpool's foreign players sound Scouse, or Newcastle's sound Geordie?

I remember Jan Molby having a strong scouse accent.

Zaba has a touch of it when he speaks.

Dieter used to drift from English to German accents.

Schteve McClaren sometimes sounds English............and more seriously, Peter Schmeichel.

I've noticed Vinny doing that.

Roberto Martinez slips the occasional pie eater word in here & there.

I notice it every time I hear Mad Frank. The difference between Pablo's efforts with the language and Carlito's are startling.
