The 'erg' ending to Scandi names is actually meant to be pronounced "urry" (not Redknapp) so actually you're all wrong.

Wouldn't go as far as to say I didn't like him. He just comes across to me a bit of a smiling assassin which maybe is what the club needs in that role. I'm pretty sure if you spoke to Koeman he will say that the nice chat they had at the end of the season convinced him that speaking to Everton was a good idea. I wouldn't mind betting Les gave him both barrels when he stalled over signing a new contract! But hey, we may even end up better off as a result so who am I to complain.
Understand the sentiment but in this case; he's a player with a strong physical presence and he does not mind getting 'stuck-in'. Seems also a very committed person. Attributes that Gaston shied away from.
And Old English. Like Searoburh becoming Salisbury. The burh ending could also be spelt burg, burgh, byrig leading to borough, bury, and burgh endings in modern English.
So is his name Hoy bury....isn't that where Arsenal used to play?

Ha ha, but don't think so , Pretty sure it means High Mountain of which there are lots in Denmark
So I expect his nickname will be River Deep as a result!

*starts lyrics for new version of "ain't no mountain high enough*

Same etymology. Hoy = high? Bjerg, berg, burg, burh all denote high places (either hills/hillocks, mountains or fortified citadels). So the name Highbury would have the same ancestry (if not exactly the same definition).
BTW, Denmark may be a bit bumpy compared with Norfolk, but hardly mountainous!

I assume you are joking about high mountains in Denmark!
Excited by this. Great news.
Two Danes on reddit saying it's pronounced hoy as in 'ahoy' then byear sort of as if 'year' started with a 'b', but maybe a bit more casual like 'yeah' so hoy-byear or hoy-byeah (they were arguing over year vs yeah)
