savage9640 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) Everton's first signing of the summer could be Egyptian striker Emad Meteb, who plays for Al-Ahly. has anyone ever heard of this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vrY7Q-d19w...feature=related Edited August 24, 2008 by savo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristolToffee Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Bristol City signed him this summer for £1.5m. After signing he then played a friendly for the team he was leaving in Egypt. When the Bristol City manager questioned him why he did it, he responded with peer pressure. On the basis that he was obviously easily influenced and showed no commitment to his new team, Bristol City tore up his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 This guy can fuck right off. Don't believe for one second either that moyes would go for this type of player, no loyalty, no character, no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Slight difference - He agreed to sign for Bristol City but whilst waiting for a work permit he played a champions league game against their Cairo rivals Zamalek. I don't know anything else about him to be honest although I'm glad we are looking to African talent because it's a cheaper. Aboutrika would be a nice signing.

blueblood Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I know beggars can't be choosers, and I have voiced consistent disapproval at the lack of signings and need to get bodies in so we can put XI on the pitch on a Saturday, but... do we really shop at the same stores as Bristol City???? Surely there's a happy medium?! We can't afford Harrods, but thought we were better than the pound store Saying that, always happy to be proven wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy8 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 i can honestly see him as a good back up to the yak, hes been apart of both egypt squads which won the african cup of nations in 06 and 08. but with saying that.. do we really need another striker? i know we have lost AJ and faddy, but we have the likes of vaughany and victor who will be back this week to be in support for the yak, and even to back them we have now the likes of jose and lukas who have proven to be capable at a senior level (especially jose). i dont see the need to have 6 strikers if we are only going to play 1 up front.

IrbyJFC Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Goal scoring record is good... excellent in fact even if in a egyptian league. At 1.8 million can you really complain... We sold McFadden for nrly 3times that and if he can score important goals could prove a good signing. Id take him at that price at 1.8 mill Him at 1.8 Or Alan Smith at 3??

Neither, I would like to think there is better out there. Vaughan and to some extent Anichebe are better than both these players, I would only take Smith because he is versatile. Lets face it once Vaughan is fully fit he is our second choice striker followed by Anichebe, once Cahill is up and running we will have no space for another striker. Especially a lower rate one such as Emad Meteb, if we are going to sign a striker he has got to be good enough to dislodge Yakubu from attack in order to provide competition.

macca93efc Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 he's got a bad goal record for that shit foreign team he played for, what makes moyes think he'll any better here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 89 goals in 170 games is hardly that bad of a record in all fairness. Not trying to stick up for the guy as i'm not sure he'd cut it here. But saying his goal scoring record is bad is a little wide of the mark.

blueblood Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I agree there's a real need to buy a player who can provide competition to the Yak in the 1 up front in a 4-5-1. I don't think Anichebe is the answer and Vaughan needs to learn how not to injure himself performing stupid challenges so I think there is a need to sign a striker. Can Zigic provide this? Possibly Can Meteb? I don't know much about him but I think not. We need a big impact player to some off the bench when we're chasing a game. Although, our transfer activity has been fruitless so far this year so bringing a better player in may not be possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_4048049,00.html Following the speculation over the weekend I can confirm a number of Premier League clubs have made enquiries for Moteab," Learoyd-Hill told skysports.com. "I am not going to comment on who the interested clubs are as that would not be fair to the clubs. "I wouldn't be surprised if there was interest from Everton as I know they keep tabs on Egyptian foootball from the time they signed Ibrahim Said in 2003. "Any interested club could be confident of doing a deal before the close of the window as a work permit would not be a problem as he was granted one at Bristol City before the move fell through. "However if nothing happens by the end of this transfer window we would look at doing something in the January transfer window." We keep tabs on other leagues? Thats news to me! But Ibrahim Said? Hardly fills me with joy and good feelings, he didn't even play a game did he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikels Left Tezzer Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Most probably because he never played! Iremember Ibrahim Said, he was the golden boy of Egyptian football, we took him on trial but I don't think he made it out the reserves?

jamiemaher85 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 we had him longer than a loan, ive got his autograph lol Treasure that one!

Bill Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Played one reserve game in two months and asked to go home to care for his sick mother, Rumour has it he wanted to play in a local derby Match at home. Davey wished him well and released him from the loan, without making the first team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
