"How I see it, if [American] men talk to [British] women [in the United States], they like the accent, no?"
That quote from the Complex article had me rolling. It is sooo true, speaking first-hand as an American male who gives a British female an instant 2-4 points on the proverbial scale.
Edit: On a side note in regards to the Twitter thing; it's so sad that people's spontaneous, organic reaction is to think he's off to a team in Spain. As opposed to, hell I don't know, thinking it is to speak with the 2 new Spanish speaking players (3 if you count Suso returning from loan) more easily.
