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.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.
I've heard Are-dinga tooDon'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.I've heard Are-dinga too
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).

Noticed that too Simón rather than Simon.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 ?

Not me, but it's a good point. He's from the Ivory coast (or Cote d'Ivoire) where the official language is French.Not just his surname.

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.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.
I can imagine the whole stadium singing that.Our Adingra-ling, Our Adingra-ling
You better watch out for our Adingra-ling.

This has no relevance to anything, but I just wanted to get it off my chest.
