Cambiasso having enjoyed his time here could be a huge plus for us. If one of the best Argentinean players of all time gives the thumbs up, you know its good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grammatically Spanish is closest to Portuguese but Portuguese sounds completely different. Every chance Ricardo knows some Spanish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattolcfc Posted 21 August 2020 Share Posted 21 August 2020 If we sign him for £20m and get £50m plus add ons for Chilwell this has to be the best business ever done by a club replacing a want-away player! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw Dykes Posted 21 August 2020 Share Posted 21 August 2020 2 minutes ago, UniFox21 said: Portugese is now a mix of Spanish/Italian and Russian. Sounds a proper obscure one Well, the Spanish and Italian similarities aren't surprising. Portuguese, Spanish, French and Italian are all derived from Latin. The Russian sound of Portuguese is very odd, though. I heard a woman speaking English and her accent led me to believe she was from Eastern Europe somewhere. Was shocked to learn she was Portuguese (opposite end of the continent!). More recently, I heard an interview with Peter Serafinowicz, who said he did a voiceover for an advert with Pele in it (could have been the erectile disfunction thing he did). Pele spoke English in it, but his Brazilian/Portuguese accent was so strong it needed dubbing over. Serafinowicz also said it sounded Russian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
