    Kayal was decent for us for a short period of time. His time was prematurely cut short by that challenge/tackle, whatever it could be construed as, that is true and cant be blamed for that. However, He did take a settling in period to adjust, and did not hit the ground running. No criticism btw.

    Ambrose was * gash.

    I'm sorry, but when was nir bitton our best player ? in squads that have included virgil van dijk, scott brown,victor wanyama, leigh Griffiths, James forrest, Callum McGregor, Ryan Christie, scott sinclair, moussa dembele, Odsonne edouard, Patrick Roberts, tom rogic. He hasn't even been a better servant than the likes of kris commons, Anthony stokes or Charlie mulgrew.

    Elhamed, like I said looks quality, but made of chocolate.

    My point was, none of those players were awful( apart from ambrose) but by no stretch of the imagination were any of them "highly effective". Decent squad players is a far more accurate description and if we are to win the league this year we need to be adding g more than "decent squad players" this January

    @rudebhoy67 Bitton was, arguably, our best player for a period under Deila. He was one of the first names on the team sheet at any rate. We rejected an £8m bid from Espanyol, and most people would have valued him at eight figures at that time.

    It's worth noting that we reportedly paid less than £6m for those four players.

    Bit embarrassing how much we rely on Dudu Dahan under Lennon. However, if he signs and is decent then fair enough.

    I don't like your disrespect to Ambrose. Fact is, after his first game he was the greatest signing of our generation. Aye it was raith rovers. Aye he was * silky as *. Never recovered from Juventus but before hand played a massive part in pumping barca, pumping everycunt in sight and dribbling skills in a defender weve never since seen.

    I was glad when Ambrose left, but anyone denying he did a decent job for us a lot of the time is just ignoring reality.

    None of those players were decent squad players when they first joined. They all came in as first team players and played that way from the start. They all fizzled out but they were all good value for money for what they brought initially and didnt have a normal huge bedding in period.

    Kayal was signed for about £1.6 million and was 100% one of our best players his first season and his career got ruined by injuries not ability.

    Ambrose was fine 8 times out of 10 and was actually really good until the Juventus game and then the mistakes came into his game. A first team player most of his Celtic career though.

    Nir Bitton was bought for about £700k and was a first team player until Rodgers came in. Had a good 15-16 season.

    Elhamed Was signed for £1.6 million and came in straight away into the team and looked like he had been here for years albeit is now injured.

    I would say that all of them were highly effective when they first joined because they were all first team players as soon as they joined and didnt need a settling in period. Worth noting all 4 costs about £5 million in total.

    If he really is a winger then his stats are impressive.

    Watched one of his reels 8 minutes or so and he looks really good..

    Quite quick. Tall. Strong. Tracks back. Excellent set pieces and deliveries. Sweet left peg but comfortable enough on his right. Looks physical and good in the air. Can beat a man. Gets in good positions..

    I vaguely remember him from their home game against Cluj as we knew we were playing one of them. His mob battered Cluj in all honesty big time but went out. I'm pretty sure he was at the heart of it and I clocked him scoring in that video..

    I wanted Diarra but if honestly be all for this..

    Deffo a winger but a bonus he can play up top if need be..

    Sounds exactly like a perfect replacement for sinclair tbh. A qaulity scoring and assisting winger who happens to be able to play upfront.

    Hope he doesnt upset lawell and get frozen out :fear:

    This is a thread about a guy we may or may not be signing from Israel and through dudu dahan. It was mentioned that all signings that have come via these routes have been highly effective. My point is they haven't been and with the challenge we face now we are going to need better quality to make an immediate impact than the players mentioned.

    Just to reiterate
    Nir bitton came in as a 21 year old and made 20 first team appearances, mostly from the bench, in his first season. Not immediately a highly effective signing

    Beram kayal was arguably our best player but the period he was, was over a calendar year. He was hampered by injuries for the 1st half of his first season then never fully recovered from the injury against the huns, which came midway through the following season. Not immediately an effective signing.

    Elhamed has looked very good but has probably missed as much as he has featured. Looks to be a very injury prone player and may yet turn out to be as much of a liability as he is an asset.

    Might be being a bit harsh on ambrose, but 8 out of 10 is stretching it a bit.

    Aye he knows exactly like for like but you're right..

    From watching his clips you'd think he'd be maybe better off the right coming in and doing damage on his left foot but to be honest he does some amount of damage off the left, scoring some worldies..

    Pedro will like him as he'll only want a third of Sinclair's wages :fear:

    We need competition for Elyounoussi considering Sinclair and Morgan are sold and Elyounoussi is a few weeks away.

    Although not the biggest priority I still think we could do with another winger personally.

    We could do with a set piece specialist, to be honest.
