Mahmoud Hassan (Trezeguet) - SOLD

[Rudy Can't Fail]

By the reaction on Facebook,  we have signed a Messi Ronaldo combination... crazy

It's worth remembering the reaction of the Hibs fans when we signed SJM. They weren't wrong. Hopefully our Egyptian brothers know a thing or two about special players. From the few minutes he's played he looks the real deal. He still reminds me of Luis Figo, I hope I'm still saying that at the end of the season.

He does look quality.  Lovely pass to SJM for the third goal.

[themossman]

Lovely pass and a lovely run to get into position to make the pass - looked strong and quick.

From the bits I've seen I suspect he'll be starting regularly by the end of September, I suspect he'll be the player that get close to Wesley most consistently.

Agreed. When I saw all those posts, including many in Arabic, I just knew that some of the responses were going to be unfriendly, cringeworthy or openly racist.

Yes, thoroughly depressing. Presumably they don't mind an Egyptian owner pumping loads of money into the club though?

From a bigot you expect logic?

And yet we kid ourselves Birmingham is the great, multi-cultural success story. Fook me, there's some sad, nasty, small minded  fuckers out there. Wait until they discover Benrahma has been in the UK for 12 months and still struggles in English.

I'm already liking the look of Trez👍

[pauliewalnuts]

He's all over the pitch so far today. Impressed

[paul_e]

His movement off the ball is excellent, once we get used to reading his runs I think he'll find a lot of space.

[ozzjim]

He is about half a yard of pace away from being brilliant. Will score a fair few goals this season.

[sirlordbaltimore]

Very encouraging debut. Not quite there yet but signs are he will come very good. He's supposedly far better on the left so Deano might want to think about that considering how powder puff Anwar was yesterday

[PaulWinch again]

I reckon he’s plenty quick enough. He looks very good to me.

Think Ozz means that half yard you gain once your fully match fit, know your teammates better and they know what runs you make.

[KRS]

I presume we won’t be or can’t appeal 2 yellow cards, so how many games will he be banned for?

Can’t say I’ve been too impressed with him so far, but hopefully these next few weeks off will help all our new players to settle and improve as a team.
