At the risk of getting personally slaughtered again, I posted a video clip of Edin pronouncing his own name for us... It actually sounds more like Djecko, but the hardest part for non-Balkan people is getting the Dž sound correct.
Call Edin any name you want though... the joy of discussing football is that everyone has different opinions about every footballer in the world.
I did listen to that and it does sound like Jayko, but you would probably need to hear me say that. I did check this and it is Jayko with a very bass pronunciation. I went to Slovakia and I do know a Slovakian well and she tells me you also pronounce that Scouse centre half as Skertchel. It's the ch sound after the 't' just out of interest.
This is almost as amusing as the green vs yellow Glow in the Dark debate!
I just consulted the Bosnians & Kosovans that work in my office & they all said there is a big difference in the sound of Jake-o vs Djecko.
Edin's name is actually easy compared to Sinan Bytyqi though... We will have lots of fun, if & when Bytyqi makes the first team... He'll probably be called Sin by then!

No, I don't work in a car wash, or anything related to cars.... You probably will know more about car wash companies, than I do though...

Dzeko's obviously quality. The guy's stats speak for themselves. He's gone now, Bony's here. Rightly or wrongly. Move on.

Haha best post for a while. Totally true.
Doom posted this over beers yesterday afternoon when I informed him that his views on the subject were fully spasticated.
