    Seems a Utility Carragher type going by where he has played...

    [​IMG]

    Going by that he's only played about 2/3s of his games at centre-back and the rest a mix of full-back and centre-mid. Maybe played more full-back when he was younger also before they had data on him? which could be why everyones saying hes a right-back from watching him could be older clips.

    The new Mulgrew. How’s his set-piece delivery?

    Hes played a shockingly low amount of football for a 28 year old.

    Mentioned that earlier in this thread when we were first linked.

    Supposedly Hapoel’s best player last year and would have played more games for Israel but he was injured in a car accident, he might surprise some people.

    Is he another 'squad player' who will try hard, but never be good enough? If so, pass.

    Is there anybody here who's seen him play? He looks alright going by youtube clips but as others have said, he's not played many games for his age.

    I don't mind this signing on paper and his highlights he looks competent enough but that is some serious clutching you're doing there..

    28 with 1 cap to his name and you've put it down to a car accident :56:

    Bottom line, there is absolutely no way to sugar coat this that will ever get anyone excited about it.

    Just looks like we're spending a decent amount of money on a guy who will be backup centre half/back up right back.

    It's all a bit pish.

    He looked decent in the videos, but unsure of the quality of opposition. Very quick. Seems a bit of an odd signing though.

    He’s been a late developer, I’m just repeating what an Israeli journalist said.

    I don’t understand why this is a bit pish? When the board don’t spend they get slated and now it seems they are being slated for spending!

    We all know we need a right back, but at the start of the window most of us wanted two right-backs, cover for KT and two central defenders. Defence was the area that needed most players in. The club have bought one seemingly top class central defender and a left-back with great potential. Now it seems we are adding a decent backup centre-half that can play in a few other positions. Given that none of us have seen him play, I can’t see how this is a negative!
    We all know we need a first choice right-back, that hasn’t changed, but it doesn’t mean everything the club does is wrong until it is resolved, especially as we don’t know what is happening behind the scenes.

    I wouldn’t worry too much about an Arab not getting too many caps for Israel. Maybe I am just cynical. ..

    He's 28 and has 1 cap for a * international team. Hasn't played all that many games, in general, given his age.
    Just looks like we'd be signing a guy who isn't really going to threaten the first XI at all.

    Aye we need two right backs, so why not get an experienced head - like Ankersen, or someone of his ilk - and a young guy with potential? This guy has barely played at right back it seems and from looking at his career so far, I very much doubt he'll be as good as Jozo, never mind Ajer or Jullien at centre back.

    The board get slated for not spending money, but that doesn't mean when they do spend money that all is good. It depends who that money is getting spent on. Hopefully I'm wrong and this guy's a superstar, but he looks like nothing more than a squad filler who ultimately won't see much game time.

    But we don’t know the reasons why he has only one cap. Some players do develop later. I haven’t a clue if he is good enough, but I’m not going to deem him not good enough either!
    It’s like signings are being judged by stats on computer games or something!
    If he turns out to be * I will slate him then, until then I am glad that we are strengthening.

    Some players are late developers, but he's 28 ffs.:giggle1:

    By all accounts he's not really shown anything up until last season, where he was Hapoel's best player as they finished 3rd in the league, 34 points off the top. This is in a league that's ranked below the Scottish Premiership in the coefficients. Jonny Hayes vibes.

    Again, he might have turned into a cracking player at the age of 28. But if we're being honest, absolutely nothing about him suggests he'd be coming here to play first team football. And at the age of 28, not a young kid with potential (i.e. Ajer)...what's the point?
