mrmojorisin75 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I've always assumed 'journeyman' meant a (probably average) player plays who plays at loads of clubs - e.g. Wayne Routledge. same as many i suspect, inc. me...amazed to find it has another meaning Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yeah it's an expression that comes from boxing. Someone with limited ability who'd make a living traveling from town to town to fight much higher ranked fighters in front of their home crowd and usually fall over after a few rounds.

Dr. TC Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Yeah it's an expression that comes from boxing. Someone with limited ability who'd make a living traveling from town to town to fight much higher ranked fighters in front of their home crowd and usually fall over after a few rounds. Nonsense. It's been used for centuries to describe a tradesman who has completed an apprenticeship but is not a master craftsman. "Journey" comes from the French journée, meaning day (i.e. a day's work for a day's pay) - nothing to do with travelling, although Journeymen did often travel from town to town to gain experience.

Thing top clubs will be after him though. I've read he's an excellent talent but will be interesting to see if we learn anything from our last Premier League summer transfer window and not be relying on young strikers from weak leagues to score us goals. That said we'll have Gayle this time and a much better manager if Rafa stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 No matter how much of a cunt he is to people, I can't help but like Ronaldo. I think it's like some battered wife syndrome.
