Leonardo Ulloa

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Yep yamas, it has a slight l sound to it

Then I've been pronouncing that animal's name incorrectly my entire life - boyocks!

 

[Weststander]

Why emergency? The Window is still open, and we are weak in that area anyway. We need at least one, if not two quality center halfs to strengthen our squad.

Yes, we missed Greer when he went off, but it is certainly an area where we need to strengthen anyway.

I didn't literally mean using Football League rules to get an emergency player in.

Just to get our arse into gear in this window, and get a class central defender in.

In English you've been saying it correct but if you want to say it in Spanish it's with a y sound.
However when we say oversea players I think it's easier to say how we would pronounce it as in Spain they don't pronounce English names correctly. E.g Murray moo-ray

Basically with the way he played today is what we have been missing since Murray left 18-months ago. At last some-on who can hold the ball up and bring others into play, not sure CMS will be the perfect foil for him would be looking more towards Barnes/Hoskins IMO

Great entertainment yesterday! Personally I would like to see Barnes / Ulloa / Buckley tried as a front three.

Like yesterday.

Like yesterday.

Excactly, but more than just one game

Normally in Spanish when you have two ll's together it makes a ly sound. So my guess is ulyo

Argentinian Spanish is different to European Spanish though.

I've had a look on Google and the "ll" in Argentine spanish is pronounced as a soft J similar to the SH in "show". So, if Google is to be believed it's "Ushowa"

that's how they pronounced it on the ITV cup program

I'd take anything ITV say regarding football with a pinch of salt. Anyone see the post match discusson in the highlights program? They didnt mention Brighton once... it was all Arsenal this, Arsenal that, Giroud, Wilshere etc ... then Matt Smith says... right - on to our next game...

Think of it more like the G in "mirage" and you're there.

Oo-jo-wa.

No they didn't. CMS cleared the next one. In fairness to CMS the first corner was his first touch.

This is correct.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I'm waiting for the thread that said we need to sign someone to support leo

 

[tommyseagull]

I believe it's pronounced either "Ujoa" or "Ajoa"

Oo-yo-ah ...ulloa

I think ll is pronounced sh in South America so it would be, phonetically, Ushoa - I think that's also how the stadium announcer pronounced his name

Si señor es correcto!

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Jojoba?

In Welsh it would be Ucloa

In WSL where I sit he's called Lulu because one of our older brethren got so confused by the pronunciation he referred to him as "Honolulu" - hence Lulu. I quite like that.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Can someone tell me how we pronounce his name. It seems that the U is not pronounce as a U. Is it?

Spanish Len is a whole lot easier

 

[Driver8]

Spanish Len is a whole lot easier

But he's Argentinian.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

The HAWK?

Does his goal count ? Firstly it was an own goal and secondly it pinged into the net off his nose.
