For that sort of money, it looks like a cracking bit of business. Hopefully he can dictate games as well as it appears he has in Holland. Welcome aboard Karim!

Karim El Ahmadi! Rock the casbah, rock the casbah.

Great song, great idea but isn't it "Rockin' the Casbah, Rockin' the Casbah?"

It's actually Rockin' the Casbah, Rock the Casbah;. I was geeky enough to go check the lyrics sheet in my LP of Combat Rock!

Had a quick check on Fifa. He has a 74 overall, with 87 stamina, 84 ball control, and 81 short passing; as well as the 'flair' trait.

My god I'm lame.

Top! Thanks for that I thought there was a Rockin' in there somewhere. Best we get the song right from the off. Don't wanna incur the wrath of Joe Strummer. And on the subject how come they're using London Calling on an advert? I thought Strummer wouldn't let anyone use his songs for advertising?

If he ever hits the bar we could sing Karim El Ahmadi, hit the crossbar, hit the crossbar.

To Rock the Casbah

Well done Karl for the being the first to suggest it in here.

He appears to have a Sid-esque nose, which I'm taking as a very positive sign.
You're right about the nose. Even more positive will be if his football skills are Sid-esque.

Yes, his 10 years in a box has cooled his opposition to advertising.
