Something very gravelly almost dirty old manish about this commentator!
His pronunciation of Camera and Dinya is boiling my piss. It's Kamara and Dean you absolute fucking tit.

His pronunciation is pretty much correct. He maybe overdoes the "e" on the end of Digne just very slightly, but that's typical of a southern French accent.
When he signed from Everton they did a piece with him at Bodymoor Heath and asked him to clear up the debate about the pronunciation of his name. In perfect English he said:  it's simple "Luca Dean" as in Dean Smith.

Yep, that's how he always says it - https://youtu.be/ScNovNeQUU4?si=tRJ0wq6of3JIQF4i&t=300

Lol. He definitely ain't saying "Dean" there!

He's not saying dean-yah which was the point.

Yeah, he is, just not as clearly as the commentator is making it - which was what I said before. He's Parisian, but if he were from Marseille, you'd be able to hear the final "e" much more clearly.

Either way, his name would have to be spelled "Dine" for it to be pronounced "Dean".

Every now and then you do need to go long in defence.

Would like Sancho to come off for Malen.

This, for me.

Yeah. You're right too, we definitely need another tricky winger. Dare I say it, there's a bit of a Bailey-shaped hole on that right flank.

I know we need to win to keep up but some games just wanted to get out unscathed. Like tonight
