8pints Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I was surprised the Feyenoord fan who started the thread saying El Ahmadi is quick, I was under the impression he was slow, not snail pace slow but not one of the quickest by any stretch of the imagination so that's a good thing to know. He does look a good player, clever and strong with fantastic work rate. Seems to have a trick or two as well as being solid defensively, a well-rounded midfielder.

wiggyrichard Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Ive got a feeling that this is going to be a brilliant signing for relative peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 For 2 mill you can't go wrong can you If MON were in charge we would have probably paid 6 - 8 mill for him Lets put it this way if he can pass the ball he's an upgrade on Reo Coker who we paid 8 mill for Winning.

A Nigel Reo Coker who can pass and has a bit of skill for less than a third of the price!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 MON wouldnt have signed a player from holland.. he would have just bought the English equivalent that would have been shitter and cost more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Can we stop talking now about someone who since we have had three managers and who now manages Sunderland? I mean I am quite happy to mount a sterling defence of the man and his transfer dealings but it does get a bit tiresome after 2 + years and we have better things, ie our future and renewed hope, our brilliant young new manager, the signings (especially this new one) to talk about.

Ie. A Nigel Reo Coker type player (which we desperately needed) who can actually player football, for a snippet of the price paid for what you would get in the British transfer market.

My favourite Villa story, and the only time I'll ever claim to be ITK: My friend is a footballer and his agent is friends with John Robertson. Within a week of signing Reo-Coker, MON came to the conclusion that our Nigel was his worst ever signing - he couldn't pass the ball five yards. That's some top class scouting right there.

MONS transfer dealings were critisised by many but as long as we were performing on the pitch we had to give MON credit. Many doubted it was sustainable and we also know a few injures during MONs reign and we would have been screwed. It was good but we all knew deep down it wouldn't last forever. Easy to say in hindsight but MON wasted a hell of a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feyenoord Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Found some more clips of style of play of El Ahmadi and his role in the Feyenoord team last year. His best friend is also a pro footballer and playing for ADO den Haag. His name is Tjarron Chery and he has a tattoo with the name 'Karim' on his arm in honour of their friendship.

briny_ear Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 im liking the direction we now seem to be taking signing cheap foreign players and being linked with more... We don't really have much choice but to like it because Randy has clearly stopped spending big. We probably need to sign two or three more cheap foreign players before you could really call this a "direction". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
