AVB says that he is not looking for another striker - I am really looking forward to the comedy double-take on the touch line when he sees Damiao and Llorente alongside Hulk, Isco and Moutinho warming up together, followed by a comedy shrug to camera.
I have posted it on the twitter thread but Duncan Castles quotes him with an interesting caveat

Villas-Boas: 'With Adebayor, Defoe and Kane coming through I have enough options but in football you just never know.'

Has anyone heard from ValenciaYid recently? He used to get bang on info around the time of pen to paper iirc, although not hearing from him probably means we haven't signed anyone yet, or maybe just hulk, kaka, LD and the Cisco kid. Man I need a break hurry up window and close!!!!

Feel it's time I donated too A&C you lot have been keeping me entertained for years!

AVB said that he didn't know that Sherwood was at the Malaga game. What does that say about the Isco possibilities, I wonder.

he dismissed it the very second he heard it, if you are really unaware, you will take a wee bit longer to process the question and think whether it is true / false.

he knew sherwood was there.

Oh and no, I haven't seen ValYid on here in months.

Shame.

Sorry saw this after I posted next bit... Just genuinely trying to read between the lines and see if we can gather more clarity..

Apologies if it comes across wrongly

Hope you don't mind my asking, is this your line of work?

I think your points have been interesting tbh. Wonder if his responses and how his body gives info might be down to speaking a second language i.e. having to consider his response? Genuine question

could be. but he has a more than good command of the language. definitely better than benny's! ;)
one thing i am trying to label definitively - is he right or left handed - from the celebration gif of our goal at newcastle, i'd reckon right.
and throughout the whole 3:54s in the clip from the link posted here, he hardly "recalled" anything... a lot of "constructing". i'd have to watch more of his interviews.
lastly, as mentioned by brasilyid, and popularized by the american series "lie to me" - there are definitive micro expressions that cannot be hidden, they just reveal themselves, but in a flash so much so that you have to really slow it down to catch it sometimes.
see if you can catch avb bemused internal grins throughout the 3:54.
and more than lastly, people's non verbal cues seem to be pretty homogenous except for specific deep rooted cultural norms like say deference to authority.

Terrence, isn't it like 5am in SG?

Anyhow, that's some good reading between the lines you've got going on.

Hope you're well.

Cheers,
Ben

hey! watsup mate! it's 335am actually. had a quick nap to sleep off our first loss at the futsal league. been good, did get my knee busted during post season friendly though... how's kiwi land? everything go a-ok? apologies couldn't catch up before you flew..

and just to stay on topic, yeah it was interesting to read him. but a lil discouraged after sun's comment so didn't carry on on the other potential targets thrown at avb - willian and leandro
