brummybloke Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 hard working ball playing midfielders? who would have believed it this time last year. when players like this are in the team, players like ireland or nzog will have a chance to shine as they wont have to worry as much about being an 8th defender and they can concentrate on their game welcome K E A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazdavies79 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'm lukewarm on the transfer, we definitely needed DM'er and he looks decent-ish quality. Should be ok if he can make the transition into the premiership, might even turn out to be good. Fingers crossed and welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 More quick business to follow I suspect I hope so. Which is miles better than the good old days with MON when it was the last 24 hours of the transfer window. ....and we had paid twice as much for a British player that he would fall out with before the season ended.

Chindie Posted July 2, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2012 It's a bit of a novelty to be signing someone we really don't know much about so welcome Karim. Having seen a few Dutch opinions I'm not totally sure he's going to be a raving success but it seems he has talent so hopefully he can make that tell at a higher, more physical level.

Tricky_Vale Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'm very pleased with this.. looks a decent player Am I right in thinking the last player we signed from a dutch team was Wilfred Bouma.. good omen for Holman and El Ahmadi there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandaMac Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hmmm let's see, CM who likes to pass the ball and dictate games. 27 years old and singed to a 3 year contract instead of 5. Good business in my book and a huge step in the right direction both on and off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feyenoord Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Feyenoord, so what can we expect from this player? Well, what I said in my opening post. ''His main qualities are winning balls in midfield and pressurising opponents. He plays with real passion and is extremely fit and quick. Technically he is quite weird to understand. He has fantastic skill in creating space for himself with the ball but he definitely needs to be banned from shooting at goal at all costs!!'' I think he will be a really good PL player and a guaranteed starter for Villa. The fee is still unconfirmed but it seems to be around 3,5 million Euro's.

DeepDish Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 when players like this are in the team, players like ireland or nzog will have a chance to shine as they wont have to worry as much about being an 8th defender and they can concentrate on their game This is the key for me. I don't know anything about El Ahmadi's qualities, but I like the thought behind going for a player with the mentioned attributes. Good luck and welcome to the club, Karim.
