Mo Elneny

After seven games in the CL last year, he was the player who had covered the most ground with 85 km. That averages 12,41 km each match, insane. Certainly a fit guy, just hope that's not all he is.

The funny thing is, that Wenger has said himself it was similar stats that made him sign Flamini the first time. True story. 🙂

Rex

Post Southampton when asked about this cat, Wenger said it is not true. However, the question was phrased saying there are rumors we have agreed terms. Also, Wenger then added 'not at the moment'. Seems to be something in this I'd say; not true that we have agreed terms, but the 'not at the moment' comment seems to indicate, to me, that we are indeed in for him. This cat better be good!

Good to have some insane fitness in the midfield. Get Pato n all

marv3llous

Lets get this guy + Pato. I'd consider it a very nice window.

Shady

Please let this guy be good.

Rex

😆 Yeah, I'm with Shady here. Since the indications are pretty strong we will sign this guy, 'please, let this guy be good' is closer to how I feel right now.

Pato would be a very smart move on our part too. However, signing two players in a window Wenger doesn't even think should exist is probably cheating in the book of Weng.

Sicario

Signing Pato will be a bonus, I' have not seen any serious links to him.

Looks like this might happen. http://www.kingfut.com/2015/12/27/el-nenny-arsenal-contract/

A few comments from twitter and reddit, interesting transfer. I cant see him making a big impact , he will probably just make up the numbers till the others are fit.

[size=x-small][font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=x-small]Basel supporter here. You'll find plenty of videos on youtube. However I'd say the most amazing thing about Elneny is that he runs like a horse. Not exceptionally fast but his endurance is amazing. He's the one you see chasing opponents all over the pitch 90 minutes straight. Also since joining us he is one of the players (imo) who has improved the most and he seems to be very adaptive. Also he's long distance shots have become very dangerous. He definitely will be able to help you fill in the gaps.[/size][/font][/size]

Lots of experience for someone his age, which is a bonus. Super encouraging that he's starting to score goals though. Won't hit a lot of hollywood passes or make lung-bursting runs into the box. But he's smart with his positioning/passing. Covers lots of ground low-key, but he won't catch the eye. Not particularly strong or fast or flashy.Hear a lot of players dubbed a 'midfield dynamo' but he really personifies that. Gets the ball, gives it. Short distribution.

Sounds like the Flamini binner we need.

Egypt midfielder Mohamed Elneny said on Sunday he has all but joined English giants Arsenal, sealing a dream move to the elite Premier League.

Welcome Mohamed

#Flambuster

Not sure what to think. Some Basel fans claim he's got a great passing range and builds the game from the back. Others say he keeps it simple and mostly make short passes. The one thing they all seem to agree on is his workrate.

We'll see what he's made of soon enough, I guess. Like Shady I hope he's good. It would be irresponsible to get this signing wrong considering all the midfield talent on the market right now.

lorddulaarsenal

You can tell he knows what he's doing on the ball just from those video clips. Moves his feet well. Good strike on him too.

Qwiss

I suppose its pretty unlike Wenger to get it wrong with midfielders. Especially when they are past their main development years. Don't remember too many big errors in midfield recently. Then again he used to be great at signing forwards too but now we have Welbeck and Sanogo.

redwhiteAustrian

I don't doubt his quality, but how quickly we can and will use him.

I think a certain Kim K proves otherwise Qwiss.

Mirth

Don't think Elneny fits in the Kim K bracket. Different profile/circumstance altogether.

Sicario

Qs, Welbeck is not a bad signing. And I think he will be pivotal for us this season, we need him back ASAP.
