[Paco]

That's just fucking mean, Paco.

[moof]

He needs to sort his hair out, he looks a right meff

[Iceman]

Can't wait to see him play. This season is gonna be ace.

 

[Iceman]

Of fuck sorry I posted wrong link. Ah well, enjoy the Suarez pics.

People from his club in Uruguay are coming over to finalize it, they missed their connection flight in Spain or something and will be arriving tonight in Manchester. So probably tomorrow it will be finalized but I think they are looking for slightly more money and different payment schedule or some bullshit.

I read somewhere he's got a Spanish passport, so that shouldn't be a problem. That and the fact that he's just won the Copa America with one of the best national teams in the world at the moment.

Strange delay with this signing. Definitely something going on behind the scenes, it's usually money and the lad seems fit so I'll go with money. Probably a greasy South American palm needs a bit more grease.

We are waiting on the work permit and it was a bank holiday yesterday

Ok, thanks for the update Lee. Hope it gets sorted tomorrow, I really love it when we get a new signing on board as it gives everyone such a lift.

Has there been a Coates in the top flight since Spurs' Ralph? He was perhaps the second-most famous comb-over after Bobby Charlton.

[havarantagain]

Will that be CORTEZ THE KILLER' or 'Coates the killer' then.

For all you uninitiated I'm referring too a certain Neil Young track....as you where.

Too soon for a song but ..

[WaltonRed]

No one will call him Co-ates, it'll be Coates as in 'pile of coats'

[Jonny83]

What's the accepted standard for pronounciation of non-Spanish South American surnames? For instance I'd usually hear Masch's name pronounced the Italian way, but Heinze's usually gets pronounced in Spanish (silent 'h' and all that) rather than German.

I reckon we'll get a few people adopting "Koh - At - Ez".

 

I might, just to piss people off.

[Kurt]

His work permit application will automatically be turned down, but when we appeal he will be granted one due to being an exceptional talent. That is the rule that automatically comes into effect whenever the mancs buy a player.

They tried it out on MotD on Saturday. Along with Soo-arez. Which was VERY annoying.

That "Soo-arez" bollocks was driving me insane!!

[kalasoma]

Ko-AH-tes rhymes with Suarez though. If one were to compose a chant about the two Uruguyans, that pronounciation could come in handy.

Besides, Coates - as in 'I'll get my coat" - is a bit boring.

'I'll get my co-at-ez' just doesn't roll off the tounge

Little known fact: it's actually pronounced Too-ung-ay

My theory: We're being paid by Sky to help them make Deadline Day more exciting. Same with Suarez and Torres last time. The deals were already made a while before.

I thought his dad was Scottish? Peter Coates?

 

So Spanish phonetics of the British name would sound like .. Co -at - es
