Dr_Pangloss Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I just get the sense that Antonio Luna is a really nice guy who is just thrilled to be coming here. So refreshing, I hope he turns out to be decent as if he is I think he will end up being a fans favourite. True, Carlos Cuellar was a bit similar in that respect, lovely bloke, liked by many, lets just hope Luna is a much better footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 This is probably the player I am most scared and excited at the same time in seeing in our team. In experience wise he really is a complete novice, but then again surely he has to be an improvement on Bennett He's inexperienced but he's hardly a novice. had more top flight games than Bennett had before joining us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CryptoN Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 For of Britons Luna just a surname, but if Russian language, his last name sounds like the Moon. In Russia there was even a joke. Aston Villa is so harsh that it was buying the Moon (Luna). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Toni Eclipse will be a good player for us I reckon. Be interesting to see who gets the nod at the Emirates, maybe we'll play him at lb and Bennett at left wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kingfisher Posted July 15, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2013 Luna is Latin, meaning 'moon', not English. Lunar which is, I guess, derived from luna is English. A bit of trivia, Luna is not our first player to be named after a Latin word. There was also Luc Nilis, which roughly translates as 'bad luck', and of course, Helenius, which literally means 'goal machine'. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ooh-Ah Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I didn't get why people were so excited about the Luna/moon puns at the beginning. I mean, I got that 'luna' meant 'moon' in Latin. But then I realised that the words 'luna' and 'lunar' sound the same in most English accents. IT'S LUNAR. THERE'S AN 'R'! 'R's make a rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr sound!
