Omar UAE. Raw talent. Sign him.

To add, some of their football is fucking outstanding so far.

Who are the team of homophobes the UAE are playing in your world Ted???

Couldn't remember how to spell it due to alcohol so used cheap humour method.

Fantastic free kick equaliser from Gaston Ramierez, who scousers & poss City are interested in.

Gotta admire this UAE team. Played together and coached by the same person since they were seventeen and it really shows. That Omar looks a player too. With Ted on this - he'd be worth a punt!

Meanwhile, Elfsborg are beating Dacia Chisinau 2-0 in the UEFA Cup.

He's obviously got talent & doesn't mind running about.

Would cost next to fuck all I bet. Got to be worth a look.

David Silva has rarely played a better pass than that assist, it's brilliant.

From an Egyptian perspective - which I know is not necessarily representative of the whole Mid East but on the basis that Egypt has about as many people in it as the rest of the region (minus Saudi) put together we can probably say that it's not far off - there are some very very talented kids and young footballers.

The only problem is (and this is coming from friends who run English club's scouting/coaching setups in the country) is that there are common issues in that:

The local lads are not very receptive to coaching
Shit discipline in general
Poor work/training ethic
Not very good team players in a majority of cases....love a bit of individual glory...very skillful but will always try beat a man too many rather than looking for the easy ball and moving into space for the return


there are clearly exceptions but a lot of very gifted and potentially successful players ruin their potential by a combination of the above.

On this one half though, they seem to have a good work ethic & a nice individual freedom mixed with team play. Could be a one off of course.

cavani or edin?

If Edin played some of the passes to the oppo which Cavani has today, he'd get slaughtered.

if edin put in this amount of work up top, he'd probably get cut a bit more slack.

Omar is blowing out his arse a bit his half but is still getting some great touches away. He has got talent, there is no doubt.

Eisa looks very pacey and has a bit of skill not sure about his technical ability but could an alright squad player and if not i'm sure we could sell him for more than we bought him for

Omar just played another fucking sublime pass which should have been 2-2.

Go and have a look on the Lavezzi thread...I've posed a question for you

WWDS?

Who Would Dazby Sign?

He does look class & would probably be very cheap (yeah I know its only youtube etc.)

Reading this post made me realise that it is a bit surprising that the owners have not pushed to plant some UAE players at City especially at youth levels where they can gain some serious experience.
The Kuwaiti bloke who bought Forest has already sent a couple of players to trial with them.
Although I don't follow the local football scene closely, there are quite a few young players who with good skills and a lot of raw talent and Omar is a very good example.
