Dodo (Domilson dos Santos)

[Notcher]

Probably time to start a thread for this fella now. Brazilian right back currently with Fiorentina.

Reports are that he's currently refusing a new deal at Fiorentina and Forest have opened talks. He favours a move to the PL and apparently both clubs are confident of getting a deal done.

He’s also represented by an agency we are heavily involved with.

He's 28 so not one for the future. Wonder what the reasoning would be for this acquisition. Is Neco off? Savona? Ola too broken?

 

[Fawazzock]

5' 5" so not one for headers

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

Right footed so not one for the left-footed pinger top bins.

 

[StanleyVictorCollywobbles]

5' 5" so not one for headers

Or rollercoasters

 

[Flaggers]

Isn't he extinct ?

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

Isn't he extinct ?

You're confusing him with fingering

 

[DanR]

Isn't he extinct ?

No, he's just resting.

 

[DanR]

Nearly as tall as Zach Abbott then.

 

[Captain Sinister]

No, he's just resting.

Look at the plumage!

Can someone close the bracket on the thread title please, it's giving me angina.

Someone's been naughty and done the opposite.

w**ker.

Edit: this is actually better than it was before.

 

[Baronvon]

The only Dodo I've heard of is the DMF from the PES Master League team.

N**cher?

N**cher?

I had a phone call when I started the thread. By the time I'd finished I forgot about the brackets. I will be using 2 open brackets from now on though

Surely 2 open brackets means there is more information to come?

Correct....his middle name when he signs

 

[Otis Redding]

Is anyone able to kindly enlighten me as to whether the last letter ô is relevant in terms of pronunciation?

 

[Tobias]

Looks like he could be our first ever player from Mauritius, if this deal can take flight.

 

[Major Oak Morgan]

Diddy Dodo

 

[StuartsLeftFoot]

Dodo run run run Dodo run run?

 

[Master Yates]

Is anyone able to kindly enlighten me as to whether the last letter ô is relevant in terms of pronunciation?

Yes, makes it a closed "oh" sound like in the English word "go" or when you say the letter O in the English alphabet, as opposed to a more open "aw" sound that "ó" makes.

It's pretty important in speech as it differentiates between, for example, grandfather (avô) and grandmother (avó) or even more risky, coconut and shit (cocó/coco and cocô).

Which is why I always avoided talking about coconut when I lived in Brazil......

So this chap, the easiest closest pronunciation would be Dodd (as in Ken) and Doh (as in dough), emphasis on the second syllable.

Many thanks for the clarification; you've explained it perfectly.
