By all accounts Ralf has rated Mejbri for quite a while so that itself gives me alittle more confidence that we may see him feature at times for the last hurdle of the campaign.
g = window.googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; window.googletag = googletag; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/17085479/redcafe_gam_interstitial', googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL); if (interstitialSlot) { interstitialSlot.addService(googletag.pubads()); } });
Yeah, I like Hannibal at 8.I sense Mejbri will be placed at the No.8 role replacing Fred . He never shy from showing up to receive balls and gets the skills to shield the balls and dribble with it , AKA control the rhythm . This is the most missing part of our midfielder and therefore Mejbri surely can secure a place in first team after he comes back from the tournaments.
On the other hand, I don't see Garner is ready for first team. He needs to develop massively on physicals before he has a claim on the No.6 role . Right now he is a liability in defense and on PL level it's easy to target & freeze him then cut off the transition .
They've just brought in a Japanese player that I was seriously impressed with when I caught 20 minutes the other day. Looked like he played the game in a similar style to Hannibal as well had a grace to his game.Loan him to Celtic for Wednesday for the match of the season. I could really see Hannibal being a club favourite somewhere like Celtic. Would he currently get enough games though.
Kyogo Furuhashi is more of a forward than a midfielder so I’m sure Hannibal’s playing time, IF he were to be loaned there won’t be affected. And you are right, Kyogo is an exciting player.They've just brought in a Japanese player that I was seriously impressed with when I caught 20 minutes the other day.

That was a B team.Weird why he's been benched most of the tourny. I thought he was among their best players at the Arab cup and one of the few who could actually get on the ball and play.
Surely he could if we wanted to, Maybe the quarantine laws prevent it? Not very knowledgeable in that regard.Isn't it realistic that he could be back in time for Boro?
I hope so, he must be desperate to get over a disappointing tournament for himself.Surely he could if we wanted to, Maybe the quarantine laws prevent it? Not very knowledgeable in that regard.
Hate to sound cliche but he needs to bulk up.Weird why he's been benched most of the tourny. I thought he was among their best players at the Arab cup and one of the few who could actually get on the ball and play.
Could backfire though, we must go all in on the fa cup and even though I don't watch much of boro , these championship type clubs can be pretty vicious so considering his lack of inexperience i don't know if Ralf will take the risk.I hope so, he must be desperate to get over a disappointing tournament for himself.
they played with their second team at the Arab Cup. It was expected he’d be benched in this tournamentWeird why he's been benched most of the tourny. I thought he was among their best players at the Arab cup and one of the few who could actually get on the ball and play.
Yeah, that's my concern. Anyone know whether this is plausible? Could he fly in tomorrow and at least make training for Wednesday and train the couple of days before the match? What are the quarantine rules?Surely he could if we wanted to, Maybe the quarantine laws prevent it? Not very knowledgeable in that regard.
Reo Hatate is the player he was talking about, one of three new Japanese signings. He was MOTM on his debutKyogo Furuhashi is more of a forward than a midfielder so I’m sure Hannibal’s playing time, IF he were to be loaned there won’t be affected. And you are right, Kyogo is an exciting player.
Ok so the uk government Website says that fully vaccinated need no testing or quarantine to enter so he'll be fine i guess.Yeah, that's my concern. Anyone know whether this is plausible?

Says there if you're not vaccinated you must quarantine for 10 days (rule change on the 11th). Guess we'll find out if he's vaccinated or not.Ok so the uk government Website says that fully vaccinated need no testing or quarantine to enter so he'll be fine i guess.
Oh ok. Nice I will try to catch a game or watch highlights of them. ThanksReo Hatate is the player he was talking about, one of three new Japanese signings. He was MOTM on his debut
Bryan Robson, permed hair & all.Is Hannibal being groomed to be a b2b CM? I watched him deployed even deeper for Tunisia at the Arab cup. What position is he expected to settle into at United? I always thought he'd be a pure attacking mid in the mold of Iniesta and Ronaldinho (players he's mentioned looking up to when he was younger)
Made me chuckle. Chong is playing that role at Birmingham. Interesting timesBryan Robson, permed hair & all.
Hope you had a few quid on him to score!They've just brought in a Japanese player that I was seriously impressed with when I caught 20 minutes the other day. Looked like he played the game in a similar style to Hannibal as well had a grace to his game.
Unfortunately I didn't. He seriously looks a player though, so elegant on the ball and works his socks offHope you had a few quid on him to score!
He will be stronger and more versatile than both of them. At this stage, he seems able to play any position in midfield. I guess a more advanced midfield position might be the best way to get him involved from the beginning. I personally feel he could eventually become a really good deep-lying play maker in a few years.Is Hannibal being groomed to be a b2b CM?

I did a bit of Googling once it became apparent it wasn’t going to be Amads night. His dad is an ex Japanese pro baseball player and now a coach. Supposedly Hatate was potentially as good and could have gone that way. Baseball is absolutely massive in Japan. Anyway he looked the best player on the pitch yesterday. Celtic picked up another Japanese lad Furuhashi who seemed to be doing alright too until he got injured. Not expensive transfers but they are both already in their mid 20sUnfortunately I didn't.

Yeah I think they signed 3 players from the J-league this JanuaryI did a bit of Googling once it became apparent it wasn’t going to be Amads night.

Yeah, we desperately need some positivity. Hopefully we can lead by 2 or more and give him a 15 minutes or so cameoI really hope the young man gets a chance tonight. Good luck to him
We can also start him outright and have a real lookYeah, we desperately need some positivity. Hopefully we can lead by 2 or more and give him a 15 minutes or so cameo
