    Aye, it honestly did feel like we had Ibrahim for 3/4 years when he was only here 11 months. He signed on the 31st January 2012 and left on the 2nd January 2013 lol

    Quite funny that hes a 22 year old playing for Kilmarnock but has been under contract with Sporting Lisbon, PSV and Celtic haha

    Never seen him play, but I'm hopeful about him based on a few things.

    He looks like a Jewish Kyle Lafferty though.

    Hate judging players based on clips from YouTube, but this guy looks top class.

    Watched a lot of online videos of this guy since we have been linked (Yes I know everybody looks great in montages) but this guy has some real talent !

    His passing ability is superb, seems like he makes the right passes, with the right speed at the right times. Could be a real creative force from a deep lying position. Yes I know we were looking for a wanyama replacement but that was never going to happen, but I really feel we could have another gem on our hands.

    The guy does lack a bit of strength, isnt the imposing presence that Victor had, but he is by far a better technical player and seems intelligent in how to knowing to break up attacks without the need of force. Reminds me of Busquets, but with a more attacking mind. Can use both feet with precision, and doesnt seem fazed or out of place with world class players around him (as seen in man city games)

    Defo needs to work on his shooting and if hes going to be a defensive midfielder his discipline in his role but yet another diamond for us to polish up !

    What fascinates me is that he is/was the captain of the Israel u21s. Should have good leadership qualities. :celt_2:

    Only watched about half of his main Youtube video. He looks ok, but the standard of opposition is embarrassing. I lol'd at one bit where he ran through 4 guys standing there paralysed by the site of a man running with the ball.

    Hope he adds something new and exciting to the team. :50:

    Good signing but I don't really understand why we need him as I don't think he is really much better than Irvine or Twardzik...

    Because of the country he happened to be born in, I assume?

    Agreed. What exactly is the relevance here though?
