Victor will be at King Power Stadium on Saturday to watch City’s Premier League encounter with Brighton & Hove Albion

Let's not count our chickens, official announcement or not - window's still open, he could be handing in a transfer request by Sunday

'Leicester City is...'

 

Correct subject/verb should be 'are', really.

 

[Sharpe's Fox]

Victor: Starts a overlapping run and puts in a decent cross.

[Mike1983]

Welcome Victor! If one is to believe the various transfer rumors, then the club has/is quite active this transfer window.

Following in the footsteps of such greats as Neil Danns, Tom Lawrence, Aleksander Dragovic and big Phil Benkovic - big shoes to fill

Considering that I was referencing the Americanisation of the Leicester City post it wasn't really thinking of my Danish.

 

The steady and willingness of the Americanisation of the British football language has been a pet peeve of mine.

It is presumably a criticism of the way the club refers to itself/themselves in official communications rather than the language skills of Slick Vic

To be fair Dragovic was a good signing. I remember fuming that we didn’t sign permanently.

Correct.

 

Traditionally, football clubs are collectives and should be represented as such. Leicester City are signing a new player etc. We/they are. The verb should follow the collective.

 

American sports teams are franchised entities and are not communal. They don't have a fixed abode and are just entities. It is.

 

But the last few years have seen the media getting cheap thrills from aping the American language.

 

I'm tilting at windmills, I know, but it's just an argument I'm willing to have.

Write a letter to the editor, then, but I’m sorry to tell you that we don’t exactly employ staffers for The Times at the club. They quickly posted a direct quote from the player in a press release, everything will be OK.

Have Chelsea put in a offer for him yet?

Leicester City’s players are underperforming. They are underperforming.

 

Leicester City is a football Club. It is a Club.

I'm not going to argue this all night. Not because I'm not prepared to - it's a hill I've died on many times - but I've got a headache.

Don't forget Franck Rolling, Stuart Campbell and Danny Coyne.

[kingfox]

A left-back who has won 70% of his defensive duels this season. Also ranks in the top 30 for most tackles and top 10 for most blocks in this season’s Champions League.

 

Highly rated and has some tenacity about him, something that our current squad lacks.

 

Quite looking forward to seeing his progression.

“How’s your Danish these days” is still a fair point though.

 

Expecting someone who speaks English as a second language to have to conform to pedantic grammatical debates as if they are a native speaker, when both variations are perfectly understandable, is gatekeeping the language to the extreme.  
 

Why does it matter whether his use of English is more based on US English or not.

I can only assume you’ve never had to learn and use a second language and then get told, despite being perfectly understandable, your language is still worth criticism because you don’t use pedantic, regional, grammatical variations.
