Ahmed Fathy

[beanz]

forgive me, but what the hell is going on with all these RBs on trial. weve got lauren, hoyte and potentially trabelsi and were still trialling more rbs?

Wenger as a scholar of the game and chief interloquitor to Arsenal football club feels compelled to evaluate the potential aptitude and techinal prowess of all possible applicants contesting for the occupation of the defense's right echelon with the foresight of expunging any pusillanimous individuals that would severely restrict the incremental augmentation of the club's already established tactical components.

I'm afraid i really can't make it any clearer than that A.Hussain. :angel

nnaife, I've been scatching through my Oxford-English dictionary and I can't find this word "interloquitor" did you mean interlocutor? which means "a middleman" or "announcer". :?:
Otherwise excellent usage of the great language :wink:
p.s. We can't seriously be thinking of buying a player called Fahti, no matter how good he is, he's gonna have to change his name

yes thank beanz it is indeed a complicated word to use, but yes apologies are as my usage of the term was exceedingly negligent and a tad cavalier. ops:

But I thought the best reponse possible was necessary to A.Hussain's query as it was such a fundamental question into the mind of Arsène Wenger and deserved a educated and comprehensive explaination.
By the I do find the university of Oxon's dictionary superior to oxford's.

lol don't mind me i'm just being a bit of ****

"hes gota check all dese dudes out"

 

[Jkreffer]

Hope this guy does well.

 

[Jose_Reyes_2005]

Apparently he's doing well in the friendlies he's been playing in. According to match reports he's been playing as a midfielder aswell as a defender.

Unfortunately i cant see us signing him if we get one of Trabelsi or Sagnol.

Still a chance though.

To me, it looks like Fathi will get an Arsenal deal sooner than Eboue for the right back position. He attacks well, physically strong, has the tenacity of Ashley Cole, most importantly, he has the burst of acceleration to catch up some pacey wingers out there in the world.

 

[Jose_Reyes_2005]

Eboue is a left back

 

[calvinngai88]

For your information, he's a right back and also sometimes a right-sided midfielder. He played in the left position for the Maribor game because Wenger wanted to let Clichy to have a rest, but after Lauren was subbed out, Clichy went back in and Eboue took over the right back position. Eboue also played at the right back for Sturm Graz match when he subbed in for Pennant with Fathi moving forward to the right side of midfield.

So then he plays on both the left and the right ....

Game against river seen only Eboue and not Fathi which is shame because i wanted to see the young Egyptian. Poor first half there to be honest. Somebody called NE playing in the centre of midfield, from the same club as Eboue, he aint done too bad so far..

 

[Mark]

Why did the Egyptian kid not play today? I thought Eboue looked good, though.

Not quite sure about that. Both Eboue and Ne did well in attacks, but not in defence, though.

 

[Jose_Reyes_2005]

He'll prbarly play against ajax - either starting or coming on for lauren at some stage in the game.

 

[calvinngai88]

Lauren's most likely to start. Fathi to come on for either Pennant or Ljungberg while Eboue comes on for Lauren. :roll:

 

[towelie]

anyone have any updates on the fathi scenario?

 

[calvinngai88]

Silence over his trial currently, might be playing for the last 2 pre-season friendlies.

 

[Toast]

Blast from the past. Ahmed Fathi is having a trial with us.

Arsenal have agreed to take Egypt international Ahmed Fathi on trial this summer ahead of a possible shock transfer to the club.

The 29-year-old, who has previously had spells in England with Sheffield United and more recently Hull City, is currently back home playing for Al Ahly.

He helped the club win the African Champions League last season and now the Egyptian side have confirmed Arsenal will take a look at him during pre-season – with a view to a possible deal.

‘Ahmed Fathi will travel to England on Friday to undergo a trial with Arsenal in preparation to sign him if the trial is successful,’ Al Ahly said on Facebook.

It’s not the first time Fathi has had a trial with the Gunners, having previously trained with the team in 2004, but no contract was offered.

A tough-tackling right-back who can also play in midfield, he would be available for a nominal fee.

 

[Jasard]

This would be typical after Sanchez

I heard it was fake.
