An article I read recently suggested he doesn't like cameras that much. He's also speaking English as a second language. If I tried speaking Portuguese to a global audience I'd pass out.This is a terrible video, oh my god XD He sounds sarcastic when he says Tottenham.
Not bovvered tbh.
Honestly ? Good. Fuck em
We're in for a bit of a ride with this one, aren't we.

And I hope it’s us that “approached” him.‘Perkins, who joined the West Ham United Academy at Under-14 level, rejected the Club’s offers of a professional contract.
‘The Club is now entitled to receive compensation from any club Perkins decides to join.
‘West Ham United invests millions of pounds annually into its world-renowned Academy of Football – and naturally the Club is extremely disappointed that Sonny has chosen not to continue his development with the Hammers.
‘The Club is disappointed with Perkins’ representatives and strongly believe he was approached to sign for another club which led to him asking to be released from his scholarship at West Ham United.
‘West Ham United take this matter very seriously – we believe the rules and structures in place at the Football Association and Premier League should be upheld at all times.
‘The Club will be making no further comment.’
The fuck they winging about...??? He's not obliged to sign a pro contract with them and their statement contradicts itself. Blatantly just bluster to appear tough to their gullible fanbase.
Know noting about the kid, but he's apparently a Spurs fan and we're one of the teams being linked...... Hope it's us the bagged him. Then they'll have something froth about.... Twats.

I browse on redcafe and there are people suggesting a midfield of de jong, eriksen, and Tielmans and saying how great it would be technically. Yes, but teams would walk right through it. Ten Hag is in for a rude awakening if he goes with something like that.
Surely with where things are going (Lenglet and Spence in) much bigger improvement could come from RWB (first picks Doherty and Spence) than from LCB?!?!?I feel like two world class players are separating us from top 2 clubs. Left CB and midfielder. Our midfield is really good, but if Ndombele is capable of producing…
Yeah, I “hate” that cunt, but if he can somehow turn it around. We have everything in midfield but flair and really creative type.
You be very bloody careful...Can’t beat a Massachusetts accent though. It’s like our West Country accent in that anyone who speaks like it sounds instantly funny no matter what it is they are trying to say.
The reality is that De Light's contract is due to expire in 2 years (2024). This year the purchase clause is € 115 million. Next year it will be € 140 million and then clearly it will expire. 2 years is a long time and then the club and the prosecutor sat down at a table. The prosecutor asked for an extension of the contract with a lowering of the clause to € 70-80 million but for the club it is not acceptable: € 85 million was paid. The CEO Maurizio Arrivabene has been complaining for some time about the players who love the agent more than the club with reference above all to Dybala and De Light. Result? Dybala is without a team and will probably accept a smaller offer than the one in discussion with Juventus at the end of 2021 when the negotiation was interrupted because it reached the club's ears that Dybala's agent had turned to Inter to create an auction (which therefore did not take place ... unacceptable. De Light has great potential but he also made many mistakes, he was not 100% satisfied so if he wants to leave the club will sell him but at the maximum price and then buy Bremer or Koulibaly. : Fans cheer the club, not the individual player.![]()

Sky Italia journalist Luca Marchetti has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are one of the contenders to snap up Juventus centre-back Matthijs de Ligt.
Spurs have been linked with a whole host of centre-backs over the past couple of months (Football.London) and the club now finally appear to be on the verge of signing one.
Reports over the last two days have indicated that the North London club have reached an agreement with Barcelona over a loan move for Clement Lenglet, with the option to make the deal permanent (90 min).
However, the Frenchman might not be the only centre-half that Spurs sign this summer, with reports indicating that Antonio Conte wants to make further additions to his backline (Football.London).
De Ligt’s future appears to be in the air, with the centre-back having just two years left on his contract at the Allianz Stadium (Transfermarkt).
Reports over recent days have indicated that Chelsea are keen on snapping up the Dutchman and ready to offer Timo Werner to Juve as a makeweight in the deal (Daily Mail).
Marchetti now explained that Juve and Chelsea do not see eye-to-eye on Werner’s valuation and added that Spurs could swoop for De Light.
When asked about the Blues’ pursuit of the centre-back, the journalist told Tuttomercatoweb: “Chelsea are a possible track, they have lost Rudiger and Christensen, they need two defenders.
“I do not exclude United, where there is ten Hag, who knows De Ligt well. And there is also Tottenham, however, looking for a left-footed central.
“Today I don’t know how much Juventus are thinking of selling him, the chat with Chelsea is not profitable.
“Werner, who from London would like to include as a counterpart, is not crazy and above all in Turin, they disagree on the evaluation of 70 million that Chelsea makes for the German.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I think Lenglet’s impending arrival likely rules out a potential move for De Ligt, given that the Frenchman has likely been brought in as cover for both Eric Dier and Ben Davies.
If Spurs do sign one more centre-back, it is likely to be someone of Gleison Bremer’s profile to replace one either Davinson Sanchez or Japhet Tanganga.
Could be very wrong but got the idea reading stuff during the week that Juve were willing to sell De Ligt to possibly Chelsea for something around €80m. That would be a fair price, he's still young but doesn't yet really look like the player he was expected to be. Needs a change of scenery I think.The reality is that De Light's contract is due to expire in 2 years (2024). This year the purchase clause is € 115 million.

I would like to add a detail: De Jong, the former Ajax star paid by Barcelona by weight in gold, hasn't even climbed mountains. Maybe De Light and De Jong are excellent players but not phenomena as we thought ...
