and Damiao is derived from 'damao' which means 'to tame' in Greek or something. I recall 1 ITK tweeting something along the lines of 'Has DL tamed the lion?' So it could easily refer to Leandro.

Please post more often.

Right. So every time Friedel picks up or catches a simple ball do you think 'fuck me Gomes would have thrown that in his own net'?

Same principal, Ba's goal yesterday was quality and there isn't a keeper in the world that would have saved it. Least of all Gomes with his hands like feet.

Gomes is actually a quality shot stopper, people tend to forget that, in amongst all the balls ups...

Leandro = Lion Man in Spanish I think.

Man lion = Leon de hombre




Close enough.....

I reckon Llorente was only ever instead of Adebayor, not aswell as. I actually think he was always going to Juve, but us publicly being linked will have strengthened Llorente/Bilbao's ability to push for higher wages/transfer fee, and at the same time forced Adebayor/City to wrap up that move before we went elsewhere.
Everyone's a winner.

Definitely not, even though it might have been a bit too far it was a new insight, which is always needed!!

Nobody forgets it, they're just realistic that when a worldie goes in like yesterday they dont pretend he is something he isn't.

Don't think so, león is lion in Spanish is it not? And Leandro is Brazilan, they speak Portuguese there, so why would there be a hint in another language?

Sorry mate, I admit was being slightly disingenuous. Your earnest insight in to the inner workings of the mind of your average ITK is optimistic to say; you really give them too much credit!

But I'm only messing with you, anyone with a bit of etymological knowledge is fine by me (as if what I think counts for anything!).

People can have names from all over the place, doesn't have to be their nationality. Not that it really matters, it was just a quick google search and most results came back saying that.

Interesting, The latest news article said he went home?

In Portuguese (which is more germane) it is homem-leão.

The Lion King was already confirmed as being in reference to Llorente. But JJ seems to have shot it down, despite the fact that he seems almost certain to leave.

Had we signed Adebayor 2 weeks ago it would have pleased me much more than it does having been linked with Llorente. Ade was great for us last season, but he is not a goalscorer. He got a reasonable tally, but how many games did we lose points in because of profligacy on the part of him and others. I don't fully understand JJ's tweet, as there are still probably more reasons to bring in Llorente than not, if it is indeed possible.
