Ah yes, thanks for the pronunciation guide, Mikel! Given that a whole song has been embraced for Jaissle that's based on mispronouncing his name, my hopes aren't high!
It’s likely to be the Septics who will mispronounce it first. They even manage to butcher their own Germanic and Slavic surnames (see Christian “Poo-liss-ik” and various “Wizz-noo-skis”) so God knows what they’ll do with someone else's.
Paul Merson will give it a good go as well - on that note, with any luck someone in the Prem will sign Khvicha Kvaratshkelia in the near future…
Pop on some rose coloured proper supporter glasses and we are good to go. Lite the black & white touch paper and off the rocket 🚀 does pop. As we all know front foot football is wonderful for the lovers of the “entertainers” style but it needs “finishers” and excellent defenders to ensure we don’t have our pockets picked by non believers. 😇
Onward with a confident whistle the hint of a swagger for maximum effect 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤
I think I’m gonna love him.
Who doesn’t like a marauding full back who Dedićates himself to the team……I know, I know, f-off Mark.
Great stuff. Thanks for the research and taking the time, Matthew.
Thanks for the research Matthew.
A great read.
I'm hoping he becomes a club stalwart.
Well at least until one of the cartel clubs want him.
Howay the rebuiding Lads
Nice introduction to the player, Matthew, especially the heads-up on the diacryptic, or whatever 😀
You didn't mention the pronunciation of his name, so I will have a go at it for you:
Amar. Think of the A in apple, then elongate it (like ah), then add the mar... as you pointed out in the title, tell me ma, me ma, etc.
Dedić. Simply Day + ditch.
There is a prize for the first commentator/pundit/football expert who pronounces it Ammer Deddick, and you just fuckin know they will 🤣🤣🤣
Feeling strangely positive. But lets have a couple more signings at least.

Yes. I noted that too. Oh, and our young signing from Ajax is apparently pronounced 'stoo-er'. The ignorance is shocking.

Thanks Matthew - I've learnt a new word! I've got an ic for a diacritic!
