[Northstander]

He prefers kits that have stripes? ? ?

[Braders]

but if he's been out injured might not be the same player now

true

 

[Lord Bracknell]

False alarm, apparently.

 

[mrhairy]

It seems as though MM is thinking that maybe Ben R will not be back and got given a new contract, and this guy could become our 2nd keeper.

 

[the right footed denilson]

have we signed him then

 

[Pevenseagull]

No mention on his ICONS site:

and ICONS is the LAW

you can buy a signed photo of him celebrating a goal against Spurs for a fiver:

which is the same kind of money you'd have to lay out for a pic of:

VEGARD HEGGEM in action for Norway

so we've not got him then ?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

More like he's not got us, I gather.

I have seen him play serveral times, he has had a short cariare (spell) even though he is old. 3-4 years ago I have never heard of him and I guess 99% of the football ppl in sweden didn´t neither.

But he went from a lower league team to Djurgården (Swedish Champs 2003) when they sold Andreas Isaksson to Rennes (Peter Schcé, spell, went to chelsea from Rennes) And he played some games and was really good. And suddenly he signed for Arsenal, a really big shock! He wasn´t THAT good......

And he played maybe a total of 10 games with Arsenal. Did it very good, but got injured. I have only seen him as a expertcommentator on the telly after the injury.

But I would rank him as a goalie who would fit in a top club in div1.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

So what's the news is he coming or what? Did anyone see him play against eastbourne?

 

[Braders]

this has got (some wanker thought it'd be funny to put..) all over it

 

[CHAPPERS]

Says on Ask the Club that he didn't think he was match fit but willl be with the club this week and next.

 

[erkan]

apparently the real reason he didn't play is an unresolved dispute over insurance (for £1,000,000)... will be interesting to see how this develops...

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Play him!

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Friend of mine knew him in Egypt and still contacts him from tiem to time. he tells me that his premiership quality so we should get him in... needs the match practice though....

Any more news onw ehtehr the insurance thing is for real?

 

[Biscuit]

Shaaban's had trials at St Etienne, Leeds, Saarbrucken, Lillestrom and Tottenham, released by them all - does this tell you something?

That he isn't good enough for all the major clubs? Nor is Zamora, but I'd fancy him to play for Brighton.

 

[Hydro Driven]

I think we should play him!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

has anyone actully seen shaaban play? lets see how he does 1st!think it's a bit unfair on yelldell who looked ok at leeds that after a disapointing home debut there's already a poll about dropping him

yes - he is good

but so is yelldell
