So is it A-din-gra , A-ding-ra or some other pronounciation? I'd ask Warren Aspinall but he's lost his phone again.

Don't discount moving the 'r' to a different position, as in A-drin-ga, used successfully by Johnny Cantor.

It's got potential, but I lament the departure of Trossard. I remember Warren repeatedly being very naughty with that one, and JC didn't correct him once.
Not once. Absolutely first class. What. a. team.

Not just his surname. I assumed Simon was pronounced sime-un but when he was brought on as a substitute on saturday the stadium announcer used seem-on( like simon bolivar the south american revolutionary). Who knew ?

Noticed that too Simón rather than Simon.

Not me, but it's a good point. He's from the Ivory coast (or Cote d'Ivoire) where the official language is French.
So, assuming he pronounces his name in French, his name would be pronounced Seem-on A-deeng-rra. Happy to be corrected on this though. I'm just guessing.
He's a bloody good player, however his name is pronounced anyway.

Club should just put out videos (YouTube shorts? Tik Toks?) of each of the players saying their names. Then we could end the debate about the correct way to say it.

It’ll be based on this.

I thought he did well on Saturday. Looked hungry to get in the box and a goal on his debut is not something to be snilffed at, no matter how you pronounce his name.

I once owned a Fiat 132 that used to belong to the golfer, Sam Torrance.
This has no relevance to anything, but I just wanted to get it off my chest.
It’s a good story… I once drank with an old queen who had sex with Bob Monkhouse and stole his car. It was in the Lennox in Worthing
Edit he didn’t steal the car from the Lennox..
I’m going to research this story some more in the morning
Edit he didn’t have sex with him in the Lennox either

About those edits - how do you know he didn't
a) steal the car from the Lennox and
b) didn't have sex with Bob Monkhouse, either in the Lennox or elsewhere?
Is there anything you haven't told us?
I’ve told you all I know for the love of Jesus. I swear I don’t know anything else
