brummie Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Weird player, Rudy. Scores lots of headers but manages also to almost never win anything in the air. If you can work that out. Strange, though, had no wingers, signed a player who is only ever going to be useful from balls into the box. Then sign a wide player, stop playing him. All a bit odd. Nice bloke, though. Has been spotted helping serve homeless people at food bank places in the city centre on a few occasions. A good egg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Everton signing Ademola Lookman from Charlton for £10mil Lookman ffs I think that surpasses Ibe ("Aiyb") in terms of wildly unnecessary anglicisation of a name. https://www.quora.com/How-are-Chinese-football-clubs-able-to-afford-such-high-transfer-fees Interesting summary. It is. Despite that summary, I still do wonder about the sustainability. Even if everyone's dream come to fruition and the government continues to heavily bankroll the football program while wealthy owners and massive corporations are willing to prop up these new clubs ad infinitum, I just cannot forsee how this can ever become vaguely profitable in the relative short term or even long term in a way that will produce a justifiable return on these levels of spending, even with massively increased revenue streams in the growing Chinese market. If the success of the league and its continued ability to attract stars is primarily based around the willingness of the CPC and wealthy actors to set massive amounts renminbi alight, it just raises questions, imo.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 "Lookman" is an Arabic name, but if you are Nigerian and a Yoruba as his parents are it will definitely be "Lukman" or "Luqman" so obviously the name has been changed. Ibe is Igbo and would be two syllables "EE-BAY". I don't have a problem with it, tbh. It is just funny to hear. I would understand it more if they had surnames like my own that Europeans always struggle with, but those are simple names. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, plenty of people just abbreviate it after about the fifth or sixth botched attempt. That is their prerogative, though. My name is my name.

Happinesstan Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Stupid white people can't pronounce names properly so need to dumb them down. Worked with a guy named mpoy, once. He told me just to call him Poy. Interestingly, I discovered that when saying Poy, my lips began in the same position, that they would form when saying mmmmmmmm.

KaKa Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Don't be ridiculous. What did he contribute to any of those titles? I hate it when people use that logic. It's stupid. Chelsea fans don't care a damn for Obi Mikel, because he was a nothing player for them. Wasted his talent sitting on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Didn't he get Man of the Match in the Champions League final? (I remember he played very well, although he might not have got MotM) He played over 250 times for Chelsea, I'd suggest he played a part in those titles. Not a huge part of all of them but still a part of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
