He'll have a different role here than he has recently at Chelsea. Should be a far better player than Diarra, who needed to go. Good move overall.
Alright, the 'daddy' shit creeps me the f*ck out. Someone please tell me I a missing something (cultural nuance, comedic element I don't get, etc).
Hey don't make big deal of it. I think it's cultural thing, calling him that to show how he took care of him in the past. Nothing creepy
Uh it's beyond creepy. Just look at Mou's face at the Man City game while this fan is reading the transcript of the presser to him:
I don't use the term "daddy" because that term is just creepy for me but I do have father figures in what I do and of course my Godfather I have mentioned here once or twice in the past.
Quite creepy indeed, but if Jose can keep him healthy and get him to perform at a high level, he can call him "Granny" and it wouldn't matter.
Totally creepy. I kept thinking maybe its some kind of inside joke. Maybe a lost bet or a dare by Jose. They seem really tight. Whatever it was its damn creepy.
The look on all of their faces. Yeah I would think they are learning about the "Daddy" theme of the press conference. LOL. The signing was worth it for this reason alone. Well I think it would have been one thing if he called Mou "The Godfather" or Padrino or Nino. Coulda called him the Special One or the Only One. Daddy takes on a whole new meaning as far as father figure is concerned, at least in the U.S. Think pimp daddy, sugar daddy, big daddy, who's your daddy and daddy's girl. Not good but FUHNNY! It has to be a joke, Essien can hardly keep a straight face when he says. If he could blush I think he would be doing just that, unless blushing would mean.......oh snap. Essien is even giddy when talking about his daddy.
He must have grinded* her some more before leaving. That is why he arrived in that shuttle bus as he was late.
frankly speaking he is not going to better than Lassana Diarra, but borrowing until the end of the season doesn't seem like a bad choice
