That means no fucking signings!
Some Egyptian poster on another forum said the following about him:
Doesn't exactly fill me with confidence, but then what can we expect when we penny pinch and mostly buy obscure players, odd when we always claim we only go for top quality.as I'm originally from Egypt I've known him for years. He's really hard working (by end of the round of 16 last year in the CL he had covered ca. 97km in 8 matches topping the list of players till this stage). He has experience for his age, international debut in 2011.
He's also not injury prone. In the last 3 years only 2 minor injuries.
In the last seasons he was kind of an unknown soldier. He was making these 5-7 meter passes and didn't attack much.
He improved a lot this season in this aspect. He offers more by shooting (strong and relatively accurate) and scoring more often.
I think he's not really one for the Arsenal-Startup line yet, but he has the potential. As backup for Coq, he will do the job.
If that's the best that can be commented about him, probably best just waiting until he plays because that comment from that other poster says nothing really.
Says he's not a starter, not really a surprise though seeing as noone has heard of him and he's cheap.
Personally find it very underwhelming, is this the best Wenger can do after a dreadful summer of transfers? Can't say I'm surprised tho, I wasn't expecting anyone to be signed unless it was some unknown, it seems to be the way Wenge rolls, we're a massive club but act like Wycombe Wanderers in the transfer market.
He's featured in all their European games I think. I'm not going to know about the Swiss league though, obviously.
Not sure what can be expected for a DM in January though.
What level did you expect to be available at this time of year, especially early in the window? And that comment complains he didn't go forward much and kept it simple - isn't that what we need at the moment alongside Ramsey? Looking at his stats he has played 91 games in two and half seasons, so he seems fairly integral to Basel.
And picking out one poster on another forum, no matter his nationality, hardly makes him the authority on Elneny. That's as daft as someone coming on here and quoting Letters elsewhere as the most rational and informative Arsenal fan.
In terms of quality, it is a bit of a famine out there.
To 'watch me (whip / nae nae)
He's from Egypt,
He's Elnenny
He's from Egypt, Egypt,
He's Elnenny.
...what?
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
It's January bro, if anyone makes a substantional signing this month I'll be surprised. The best players just aren't going to up and leave midway through a season.
This guy is underwhelming sure, but like all new players lets just wait and see what he does on the pitch first. For what it's worth this isn't like signing Kallstrom, the Egyptian has obviously got some sort of pedigree in terms of the level he's been playing at for the past couple of years.
