Karim El Ahmadi CONFIRMED (Reply #278)

[AvFc4eVeR]

Welcome to the club Karim.  A couple of things;

1. Be better than Hassan Kachloul.
2. Don't do an Alpay after a season.

What are you intimating at here ?

I would imagine, something along the lines of;

1. Dont be shit
2. Dont throw a hissy fit and fall out with the fans

[Lambert and Payne]

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

What about rock the holte end?

Looking forward to seeing him in action. Anyone know how much we paid for him?

It's funny with Kachloul, I thought he played really well in the first home game when we were beating Man U 1-0 until the 90ish minute.  I thought that he and Hadji were great signings at the time.

My recollection was Hadji was a good player when he played? Admittedly I was about 11 at the time

[wellmace]

Alpay was Turkish so the relevance of that reference is a bit of a stretch.

Delighted with the signing, sounds like exactly what we're after...as long as he can adapt to the league. More like this please.

When is the ACON

Joe didn't seem to mind when 'Should I Stay Or Should I Go' went to number 1 on the back of an advert. And he was alive then.

Shit! I totally forgot about that advert. Interesting Punk outlook to let your track be used by such a big American corporation like Levis. I always thought you could block the use of a song you'd written for an advert  if it went against your artistic integrity (beliefs)? Considering he gave away his rights for the Clash's 4th album so it could be affordable and supported the Rock Against the Rich Class War Anarchist gigs I'm pretty shocked lol

[PaulWinch again]

I like what he says about getting the ball being his strength. It's nicely at odds with our previous policy of getting rid of it at all costs.

[not3bad]

Was "Should I Stay or Should I Go" on the 4th album?  If he didn't own the rights he couldn't have stopped them from using it in an advert.

Welcome to Villa Karim.

[PeterWithesShin]

Don't think we've had a stretching the shirt pic yet, so here we go.

[eastie]

Good solid signing and hungry to prove himself in the premiership- excellent news.

I wouldn't have put it past Joe Strummer to have used the money from the advert for the good of other people. Check out the Strummerville website (http://www.strummerville.com/) to see what they do.

Exactly.  It was more aimed at whenever we seem to uncover a gem and they are delighted to be here, have a good season then want to fek off and sign for Manure and we are holding them back etc etc.  If anyone was inferring I was being racist I would expect a swift apology but I will say no more about it.
