It seems they have barely played together here after their rather succesful partnership at Woking a few years back and if he feels that the chemistry they displayed then was possible, he might want to try to get them more time onfield together to see if the old mojo is still strong.
Can somebody translate that last sentence?

Here it is, translated into Japanese:

Any other languages you'd like it translated into?

So there are Japanese words for Duffy, Taylor and Richards, but not, apparently, for Woking?

He only asked for the last sentence to be translated. Interestingly, there appears to be a Japanese word for mojo.

Translating it back, it actually manages to make more sense:
&quotBabelFish&quot wrote:As not played together after jointly what those Woking do the rear of several years almost here succeeds rather, being thought, if those and the chemistry which you display were possible, if he feels, you desire the fact that it tries to procure those, rather than probably being, whether or not old magic still is strong in many times, it processes together in order to see.
Looks like &quotmojo&quot turned into &quotmagic&quot

As for &quotWoking do the rear of several years...&quot :shock:

I thought Mojo was a brand of Japanese cigarette - hence my confusion.

Were you wondering about the dreadful sentence construction or what mojo means? If the former, I blame the American educational system. If the latter...

mojo

Main Entry: mo·jo
Pronunciation: \&#712m&#333-(&#716)j&#333\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural mojoes or mojos
Etymology: probably of African origin akin to Fulani moco'o medicine man
Date: 1926
: a magic spell, hex, or charm broadly : magical power &ltworks his mojo on the tennis court&gt


I guess its not used over there much but here in the States it is slang for a variety of things including 2 individuals having good chemistry or understanding of one another.

Today, in fact.
Craig McAllister, Justin Richards, Jamie Hand, Carl Pettefer and Danny Rose have all been told they will not be offered a deal with The U's next season, as have Rob Duffy and Michael Blackwood

The club are in discussions with Eddie Anaclet, and Matt Day to stay with the club, and would very much like to discuss signing Matt Green on a permanent basis when his contract at Cardiff ends. Eddie Hutchinson, Joel Ledgister and Alex Jeannin remain on the transfer list.

Mickey Howard has returned to Morecambe after his loan spell but the club hope to speak to him again over the summer.

Young striker Matt Taylor has also been offered a new contract.
I would have thought that list was pretty spot on. It's a shame about Rose because he was a nice bloke and a decent footballer, but it was clear that he lacks some of the physical attributes necessary (mind you, I'd have thought the same about Eddie Anaclet).

I'm surprised, but pleased, that neither McAllister nor Hand have been offered deals because I assumed that they were both part of Patto's plans, but I also thought that we could do better.

Petts, I've heard, is off to Bournemouth (assuming they survive).
