He actually says:
Ha ha ha, no(,)creo, no puedo decir.
That "no(,) creo" could be "no creo" with no stop and the meaning changes a lot.
From "no, I think, I can't tell" To "I don't think so, I can't tell"
I meant Fred-DM-VanDeBeek. It looks like crap on paper (depending on who the DM is) but VDB is better than Klassen and he always looks decent for Ajax and the Netherlands.
Whatever happens please if there is a reset to our transfer approach, please don’t drag this out. Would love him here but if he doesn’t want to come or the price is way too steep let’s move on. We have plenty other needs to address too.
I wish Manchester was as cold and rainy as people think. Too warm too often for my liking!
I didn't watch but, after hearing how quiet he was against Poland, I was surprised to see a highlight video over 7 minutes. Definitely not at his best but he's probably in holiday mode.
Van der Vaart told him to stop moaning to the ref the entire game. Great advice, he was a massive tit yesterday.
Is this the actual translation?
Not 100% accurate in the words, but probably he does say it in a positive way.
He'll fit in at United then.
Yeah I hope he's not another whingebag Bruno!
Van Der Vaart was right to call him out for it. What a great player Van Der Vaart was by the way! If Frankie can achieve half of what Van Der Vaart did we would have some player!but yeah it looks like he's coming!
De jONg!United get the player they want. But I hope there's more signings as 1 player doesn't make a summer.
I’ve played in veterans matches with more speed and intensity than that game!
Yes the translation is correct
That smile man, that god damn smile.
I do laugh at Spanish arrogance sometimes. They forget that they were a country with basically 3rd world infrastructure before they got EU money.
I am from a country that's over 30 degrees celsius most of the year and I find the complaints about British weather boring. The guy is from Holland, not Barbados.
When has a United manager post Fergie ever done that?
Ten Hag is the real deal. No doubt in my mind he'll bring back the glory days

Currently sat outside in Manchester having a coffee in 13 degree heat. It's glorious, Frenkie will love it here
Fair enough but the post is about about elite DMs.
Reading on the Barca forum they don't seem too sad that de Jong might leave. A worry.
Having lived in Manchester for 5 years the one thing you can’t argue with Is how crap the weather is. Never known so many grey and miserable days. Everything else I love about it though, but man the weather is grim. Moving to London was like living in France weather wise by comparison.
Do they ever care when the player isn’t Spanish? Can’t remember the last time that a player left Barca/Real and weren’t belittled by the supporters with the ‘didn’t want him anyway’ type response.
I had a quick browse, they seem more concerned with the fee, and think he's worth more than what we're offering.
A large part of France has crap weather, so...
If we get Frenkie and Antony we will have the whiniest team ever. Opposition fans would absolutely hate us .
I'm for it. feck it, get Richarlison too/

Just a couple of pieces missing from the shithouse and whinging 11
I think once we complete this signing our next signing should be sangare. That would be our midfield sorted then. Then we should go for a cb and a st/rw should come last if we have enough money left. Don’t forget we still have diallo who can play on the right and easily develop under a manager like ten Hag. Midfield and defence must be a priority. Let’s make us hard to play against first and then focus up top later on. Aslong as we can keep clean sheets we’ve always got a chance of winning games with Ronaldo up top.
French weather doesn’t mean anything. There is plenty different weathers in France. From north to south, from coast to mountains. From west to east.
Not really a worry. Their midfield is already sorted and have 2 amazing young talents in Pedri and Gavi to replace him.
We have Fred and Mctominay. Clearly we desperately need more press resistant midfielders.
His Spanish isn't great. He says 'no puedo decir algo' when 'no puedo decir nada' would generally be more correct.He actually says:
Ha ha ha, no(,)creo, no puedo decir.
That "no(,) creo" could be "no creo" with no stop and the meaning changes a lot.
From "no, I think, I can't tell" To "I don't think so, I can't tell"
So I wouldn't read too much into what he says here.
No compared to anything, that's actually something that I sometimes wonder how many people went to the south west thinking that it was going to be sunny all year long just to realize that it was rainy and/or cloudy most days. The north and channel side are rainy and cloudy but it's not the worst part, basically all the regions with mountains have large pockets of rain and France has a lot of them.Only compared to other parts of France
What's the difference for all the non Spanish speakers?
yep. each of them smelly.
For someone smelling trash everyday, fresh air must feel smelly.
It's a bit clunky, algo means something but I don't think I have ever heard anyone use it in that context. As JohnnyKills said it's supposed to be nada, it seems that he wanted to say "I think/believe, that I can't say anything" but instead said "I think/believe, that I can't say something".
Thanks. Certainly not a denial either way
I mean he hasn't lived up to billing but they've not really been utilizing him in the right way, plus they have Pedri, Gavi etc so their midfield is in good hands still without him.
I wouldn't read a great deal in to it, they are a largely fickle fan base with next to no loyalty towards players who aren't homegrown anyway.
Algo = something and nada = nothing.
'puedes decir algo?' is more like a question - 'can you say something about this?'
'no puedo decir nada' would be the response - 'I can't say anything'.
Tbh it looks like he was just flustered and said the most basic thing he could. As someone who's committed all kinds of crimes against the Spanish (and English) language, I've been there!
