Recommended Posts

We understand that Goran Maric, could well be offered a contract very soon, according to an interview with the players representaive; who had the following to say, this is a translation of the conversation from Russian as he doesn''t speak English:

"They have asked Goran to go back with the team to their home and have said they want to make him a playing offer. Mr Gunney (sic) has been very nice to him. He is a good boy and thinks he has played well for Mr Gunney. He has told me he is very excited about playing for Norwitch (sic)and believes you want him to play for you. He is a very good player. We are all waiting to hear from Mr Gunney about what he thinks but he has asked my boy to come to their home and talk about playing for Norwitch so this is very, very good. "

fingers crossed on that on then !!!!

Source? By the way, surely Maric speaks Serbian, not Russian?

Good old Cam posted on their forum and was asked for permission to use the post.  The agent spoke Serbian and Russian, but those interviewing only spoke Russian. 

And joke it wasn''t

Lets hope it is sorted out quickly, I am sure his pre-season form will not have gone un-noticed!

Jordi Gomez came from the same level and played for Barcelona B as did Maric.

The former Yugoslavia was able to rid themselves of German occupation before the Russians had a chance to ''Liberate'' them. So they were never Eastern block - they just share the Slavic background with much of the Eastern block.Plus they would have needed to swear at the Russians a bit I guess.Anyway the Mr. Gunney thing is very very funny - at first it sounded like he was saying Mr. Gunney is a good boy too.

"And joke it wasn''t"

You sure... if this is a translation, was the original Russian/Serbian misspelt or mispronounced, that the translated version carried those through, or what? Doesn''t rub!

"Norwitch" just sounds like someone is taking the mickey out of the Russian/Serbian accent. I''m surprised they didn''t mention "nuclear wessels [sic]" or something...

Apologies if I''m wrong, tho...

Yeah, I know... but that doesn''t explain translating from native Russian/Serbian to English, but preserving the accent, comically, for no good reason!

Would be great news if we actually manage to sign him up - come on Mr Gunney

Watched this half a dozen times now - I''m sure he''d do a decent job in league 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVZL5Dejrk4

[/quote]Yeah, I agree. I particularly like the bit around 2 mins in where he wipes out the goalie.He''s a fair unit though, bet he has "fitness" problems (ie eats too much).
