Mahmoud Hassan (Trezeguet) - Signed subject to work visa and clearance

[Nii Lamptey]

X=n+2, to be on the safe side.

Nah, basically I want four wingers. Two for the first team, one first reserve, and Green for emergencies.

I don't think Green is, yet, good enough to be in the team or first choice sub.

I’d keep green for emergencies as well
There must be times when someone runs out of fags, so he could be the one they send down the shops to get some.

Agreed. Green has never really grabbed a game by the scruff of the neck and shown what he's capable of.... even in the Championship.

Harsh, as he clearly has Villa in his heart, but never going to do it.... File under same category as the Moore bros.

I agree. He's not shown anything like enough to suggest he can make it. He looked unconvincing in the Championship, so I am not expecting anything from him this year. He needs to go out on loan.

I think Dean sees something in Green.

Remember back to his shocker at WBA in second leg of play offs. DS would''ve been well within his rights to cut Green from the Wembley squad. Instead he made the bench (ahead of likes of Bjarnsson and Lansbury) and came on for last 15 minutes to help us see out the win.

That day was a vote of confidence, pretty much saying to him I still believe in your talent. I think he's more likely to go out on loan in January but think he'll get chances up to that period.

Anyway fan of Egyptian National team says this about him:

"Very good player. Electric, pacey and good dribbler. His finishing in front of the goal is very, very frustrating but it can improve. Salah was a terrible finisher at one point. "

Would say bit of that would apply to El Ghazi and he improved a lot in last three months of the season.

He still needs to learn how to cross a ball. Saying that, now he has Targett behind him maybe he won't need to. Still, the jury's still out for me regarding El Ghazi. He's exciting to watch but needs to have more end product. Trezeguet looks the real deal and can play both flanks.

El Ghazi, Jota, this new guy, Green = 4?

No forgetting Kodjia of course, who whenever he has played under Smith, has been one of the wide attacking players in the front three.  Certainly a better option to have than Green.

I’m confident El Ghazi will do well. Clear progression as the season went on, we’ll be fighting off bids before too long.

One thing i don't get. He is called Trezeguet but looks nothing like David Trezeguet. Can anyone explain why?

[cdbullyweefan]

One of his former coaches thought he played, and looked, like him. I can't say I agree, on the looks front at least.

Still, at least he didn't nickname him "Chadwick", it could have been worse.

[KRS]

Reminds me of Scott Sinclair but better.

"Lillis"

Obligatory YouTube vid. Having watched Green the other night we really did need another winger. This guy has pace, a few tricks and an eye for goal.

Don't they allow spectators into Turkish league games ? I thought that the stadiums were all supposed to be full and bouncing 4 hours before the kick-off ? He looks to be more than a one trick pony with a strong upper body strength.

[Comrade Blitz]

Can he lose the cunty Trezeguet nickname? Mahmood Hassan isn't exactly difficult to pronounce.

Please tell me that that he won't have Trezeguet on his shirt. The fucking nicknames on shirts is so chavish

[Risso]

Have we had a player with a nickname on his shirt before this season?

[brian green]

Waring would have if they had had their names on their shirts back then.

[brian green]

More seriously going back to Andre Green he looks very difficult to coach to my eye.  He has become very easy to defend against, very easy for a defender to bully into a hasty cross or a blind alley channel.  I get the point about him coming on at Wembley but personally he had my nerves jangling every time he got near the ball.  Like Elphick there is always a bad mistake in him.
