[Albion] Darwin Núñez

[Stumpy Tim]

My missus is Portuguese and agrees with [MENTION=14054]MJsGhost[/MENTION]!

The structure is the same and a lot of the words are very similar, you just have to get your head round the totally different pronunciation.

She struggles to understand Brazilians.

Funny, my mate is married to a Brazilian and he learnt Portuguese in Brazil. Maybe that's why we're hearing different things

 

[el punal]

I shall take that up with my ex. She’s English, works as a translator (Spanish/English & English/Spanish) and, having never studied Portuguese, can understand 90% of it.

What do I know...? I’m shit at languages!

I wouldn’t worry. Some English people are shit at speaking English as their first language, innit.

Corrected for you.

As I understand it (which isn’t much) Almeria want money, not a deposit and players. Benfica are not offering hard cash, so we still have a chance, despite player preferences.

Sounds like the fat lady is about to start singing.

The arrival of Uruguayan Darwin Núñez to Luz today deserves the highlight of the newspaper «Record», which guarantees: «Striker one step closer to becoming Benfica's most expensive contract ever».

Oh well onto the next target

 

[Albumen]

Yeah, I can’t see anything but Benfica for this one. He’s sh!t anyway etc.

 

[Seasidesage]

Shame. Onwards and upwards...

 

[Bakero]

The "Deluded Brighton Fans" thread on the Benfica forum just hit 100 pages.

You've been offered 2 new houses to live in for free , plus you get bucket loads of cash thrown in , it would be wise to go see both houses and find out the sizes of the buckets , it's obvious , he's off to Leeds .

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

She would. Written, they look very similar......pronunciation is quite different though. In South America (Brazil in particular) they even speak a hybrid - Portuñol.

I used to work with a chef from Brazil, he simply couldn’t understand a word spoken by a Portuguese chap that used to come by the restaurant.

 

[brighton_tom]

So if this guy is Benfica bound who's next on our list of targets? Might be a good time to focus efforts on Watkins seeing as Brentford have just signed Toney.

It’s init not innit, shirley

Dodged a bullet hopefully. Who here would spend LARGE on an employee who would rather be elsewhere? Doesn’t matter how much exactly, but the biggest wage and package that you may ever give for an employee, could be 5k, 100k or if TB a headline figure of £25,000,000 plus wages. For someone who wants to work for someone else.

Who here would take that decision?

Hasn’t cost us £25 million, next.

 

[lawros left foot]

It ain’t over yet.

 

[A1X]

FFS can we please not allow ourselves to get dragged into a saga about this? If he's not coming then make it clear we're out and move on to someone else.

The club never comment on transfers, we may be in with a great chance of singing him, or we may have moved on, on Friday, who knows?
He may do a Veltman and just show up, holding up the shirt.

This - I think we need to move on to other targets anyway. But knowing the club, they probably are but as is their way they will keep their cards close to their chest. Very much like the Veltman signing. None of us knew about that until it was formally announced.

Usually spelt innit.
