    Never heard of this guy. I hope he's as good as Beram Kayal or maybe even better.

    I also hope he doesn't read Celtic forums. :rolleyes:

    It's easy to see what Lenny is thinking about. He's learnt something from the manager he followed around most of his football career and bought Bobo Balde, Joos Valgaeren, Ramon Vega, Stanislav Varga, Rab Douglas, Chris Sutton, John Hartson, Ulrik Laursen. All 6ft plus. Big strong physical team that can play a bit and got us to the UEFA cup final :D

    Look forward to seeing him in action, maybe even for a sub appearance today at Tannadice?

    Hopefully, I don't think there is anything stopping him from playing today.

    Nir Biton

    Nir: “I played with Manchester City pre-season but didn’t get a work permit. I was in the Israeli army as well, so this made it more difficult. I scored two goals for City in a trial game but nothing happened.

    “The most important thing is now I am playing for Celtic. I can play defensive midfield or central midfield. I can go box to box. Whatever the coach asks of me, I will play.”

    “Victor is a very good player. I saw him last year on TV but I have my style and I don’t want to compare myself to anyone.

    Lennon: “He’s a class player. He’s tall, has a great engine, good range of passing and is powerful when he gets going. He will bring extra quality to midfield because we have been a bit light there since Victor left.”

    Great range of passing, and monster height- an Israeli Igor Tudor? He better not be as injury prone as Igor was, though.

    Im really excited to see him. Mentioned him a few times in the suggestion thing after keeping an eye on him after his trial with City (purely because his agent was Dudu and was highly rated) watched all Israels games at the under 21s (he was rated on a performance site as only behind Isco and Thiago in that compatition) and he was a standout and was their captain. He reminds of Busquests except he is much more attacking.

    If he's half as good as Busquets we have a quality player on our hands.

    This kid is much more offensive then you guys think though - but he will take time to adjust and feel comfortable to show it, and I think at first will be so focused on staying solid that he won't venture forward like he did in Israel (Same happened when he went to City - hardly made a mistake, but played it safe almost to a fault and limited his game willingly fearing to step a foot wrong)

    He is a nice goal-threat when he feels he has freedom to roam forward.. his long shots are very nice, his understanding of off the ball movement is great aswell showing high IQ, and he has quite an ability for a guy his size with the ball, and thinks creatively and feels quite comfortable in the final 3rd again compared for someone his size - more then he thinks about how to slide for a challenge for example(hardly ever does that, almost always staying on his feet - one of the things I dislike about him personally - if it's within his area he is very good, using his frame and long feet - but he isn't a guy like Kiyal to chase others around ferociously.. doesn't have a mean-streak at all in his game and appear a bit lethargic defensively if it's not his man with the ball or close to him)

    Check this goal out for example - you don't see that from a 6'5 midfielder very often if at all. If he really can improve defensively and be a force on that end - to a point where he can play as the most defensive player in a team's midfield(which is still a long way imo and might never materialize) - he could really develop into a very nice player that will make you a pretty penny like Wanyema.
    His potential is great if it all clicks for him.

    http://youtu.be/jI1k9rDF-KM?t=1m4s

    (Later in the video he has a nice go from the half-way line to catch the keeper napping, almost had him too.. it's the high IQ I was talking about for a guy his position and size)
