I have heard that his English is good - picked it up very quickly.

 

2 or 3 weeks ago Total Sport were saying they would be playing an interview with him during the week but I never heard it.  Might have been one of those ones that go out in the hour build-up before a match.  If it happened it could still be available on their Listen Again feature - maybe check with Radio Newcastle?

Don't forget to change his height too.  He's at least 6'4".

Can't remember which commentator it was but he was pronouncing it as Cabellar,the stupid t***.

 

Cabellar, Sholar Ameobi, Ben Arfer... I wonder if that's all the same guy?

 

As far as I know though, Cabella is pronounced just that. Cabella and not Cabeya.

I think it should be Cah-bell-ah, so he probably wasn't far off.

 

But in general they're all stupid t***s when it comes to pronunciation. For example, Fellaini should be pronounced Fel-a-eenee not fel-lane-e as every single commentator pronounces it, Davide Santon is called Da-vid-day not Daveed... and probably thousands of other examples of how lazy and s**** most commentators are at their job.

Didier Drogbarrrr was one that really used to get on my tits.

 

It's Alan Smith who says Cab-a-lar. The moron.

 

What is it with all these English commentaries who has to add and "r" at the end of any name that ends with an "a"?

I might be wrong but I think Townsend loves a shit pronunciation.

My wife, who is half Italian and also speaks French, says the Italian pronunciation would be Caa-bella (emphasis on the first a), the French would be Cabell-ah, (emphasis on the last a).

 

Not emphasis on the second syllable then; Ca-BE-lla? Like Mon-TE-lla for example?

I've been harsh on Cabella, but I can see that he will do well in a side that's being coached correctly and used astutely from tactics point of view.

 

It's impossible to judge him fairly on this season given how fucking awful we've been overall and what players he's had around him.

 

Put him in our side when we went 5th and he'd look a far more classy player.

That's the English pronunciation of the word.

 

French : CabellAH

Spanish: Cab-ey-yah

Itallian: CAH-bella

English: Ca-BELL-ah

Kinnear: Cableguy

Really hope we get a manager who can get the best out of him next year. He definitely has something about him, but our team is so static, and I think he's more equipped for pass and move football. Compared to say, Hatem, who is just explosive all round.

It doesn't really matter if it's an Italian surname tbf, no one uses the original pronunciation of Heinze and Coates because they're Argentinian and Uruguayan. Every fucker is going to say it in English, unless they're a commentator and they'll go with the French pronunciation. Going with the Italian version is a bit daft.

Isn't he from Corsica in which case, it would probably be an Italian pronunciation.
