gazelle83 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Goodwin raving about him after 1 training session. Needs to work on his fitness however. So who's going to bag 20 goals first , Duk or Miovski?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) I like the name Luis Lopes - it's got a kind of Nuno Gomes silky technically-gifted ring about it. Whether it transpires the player comes into that category remains to be seen. Therefore not sure about the Duk thing - I did a google translate hoping it was Portuguese for stallion or the likes, but nothing comes up. Feels like a kind of $hite nickname compared to his fairly cool actual name. Edited July 19, 2022 by tarapoa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably makes economical sense for Reykjavik to sell players to us with a decent sell on attached. They'd then surely make more from us selling the player on than they could from their own league? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent loan destination for any youngster with wayward tendencies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent loan destination for any youngster with wayward tendencies. Recall spending a couple of nights there on a layover to the US (come back to ABZ Icelandair !). It seemed every Reykjavik suburb and village further afield had a giant blancmange style full-size indoor football facility. This in a country with a similar population to Aberdeen and its hinterland. I think we only have 3 or 4 of these equivalent facilities in the whole of Scotland. Also, have this on loan from someone who played in our first ever Euro away match (having scored in the home leg).

naegoodinthedark Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I just assumed “Duk” was Portuguese for “*** Slayer”. I'm seldom wrong with these things. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Icelandic government funnelled huge amounts of money into small-town sports facilities - both to produce more elite players and for the community and public health benefits. I think they massively overperform in handball as well, relative to population?

coprolite Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 There's a decent short film on Iceland's facilities that was on A view from the terrace. I'd post a link but i've already seen it and can't be arsed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawB93 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I see your Funso Ojo is denying paggering a specky DAB outside tannadice. Was this after the game where he got shite off the boy during the match as well? Personally I think assaulting dabs should be like punching nazis, everyone wants to do it so it's not really a crime. I'll be front and centre at Dundee Sheriff with a sign saying "Funso can I have your cuffs?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
