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 f***er 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.

If Carver as expected gets the gig, he's played his last game for us I think. Only hope I think he has of staying is if we appointed some progressive European manager who could get best out of him. We'll take a cut price loss on him, maybe on loan first with option to buy ala MYM and Santon.

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?

 

That's the English pronunciation of the word.

 

French : CabellAH

Spanish: Cab-ey-yah

Itallian: CAH-bella

English: Ca-BELL-ah

Kinnear: Cableguy

 

;D

Corsica is obviously still France but I get what you're saying.

Wouldn't even consider Cabella a flop objectively. Didn't even make it into the team with any regularity until Pardew left, and even under Carver he was one of the few players who could've made something happen.

He's had a couple of promising moments, but come on, he's been dreadful. Could be argued he'd do well under a decent manager, but he looks a bit too lightweight.

Besic has been horseshit every time I've seen him for Everton. He should have been a contender. More so than Cabella that's for sure.

Why has this discussion about Cabella's surname been brought up like three times? :lol: I hope I'm not stepping on somebody's toes but I don't think I have ever heard an englishman pronounce a foreign persons name correctly if I'm being harsh :lol:

Sandro has been injured all season hasn't he? and Luis wasn't able to displace Azpilicueta which is hardly a crime. Some ropey calls. How can a player "flop" after they've been at the club for several seasons?!

Cabella showed what he was capable in the Arsenal match. With a good manager, he'll come good.

 

Probably the most used sentence on this forum under Ashley's reign, right after "cunt dead yet?" in reference to a plethora of people employed under the Fat One since.

He does need to bulk up, though. And I know Pardew said that and tbh he's right. The amount of times he was shoved off the ball was ridiculous.

 

Dare we show the Gouffran gif again vs. Spurs? :lol:

Nobody ever says that about Sterling or Coutinho, though. 

 

Maybe they are just more convincing at falling over.
