Do we know how long will it take for him to come back?

Next season mate more than likely.

Cuerda de muerti means rope of death in Spanish, it may be different in South American Spanish

Pretty sure it doesnt mean that at all.

Forgot about him!

 

[stamullenblue]

Forgot about him to. Add to the "offload for new players " fund !

 

[EFCPaul]

Wouldn't be bothered if he's goes in the summer to be honest. Not a terrible player, just not a really good (or reliable) one either. We need better quality to reach the Champions League in the next few years.

It means "falls over unexpectedly, slices horribly and moves along more slowly than the plot in an art house movie"

It means "falls over unexpectedly, slices horribly and moves along more slowly than the plot in an art house movie"

Or "falls slowly" to his dear mama

Mori/Mort = Death

Why would a Spanish speaking country give Latin names?

The "Romance" langauges including Spanish are derived from Latin

Derived from Latin but as Latin is a dead language surely the meaning behind his name - if any - is going to be in Spanish.

Take Mort for example.

Mort is latin for death and is still used in lots of "English" words

Immortality
Mortal
Mortality


Just because a language is dead does not mean it's entire influence is removed. You will find a large percentage of Spanish is based from Vulgar latin.

Saw a couple of River Plate fans in the upper GS on Sat. Had the Ramiro - River flag and all. All that way and he's injured - they must have been gutted.
