Omar Abdulrahman: Is he the best footballer you've never heard of?

[Pippintogg]

Worth a look maybe. Yes its a different league etc...rainy Saturday in December etc...but the guy's got talent.

How weird is that. I've certainly never heard of him.

[JamesBCFC]

As I have now heard of him, he can't be the best player I have never heard of.

That honour now goes to someone else.

[CrazyInWeston]

Such a 'white' crowd. 

[David Brent]

I can’t be the only who has heard of him? I remember him impressing at London 2012

Heard of him also. Looks decent but then again the Egyptian league not the most challenging by most accounts. Some of that defensive display and goalkeeping is rather poor.

[Pippintogg]

Mo Salah's done alright coming from the Egyptian League. 

[EmersonsRed]

David Luiz!

[downendcity]

Tony Rougier's unknown brother.

[alexukhc]

Played for Tamworth didn’t he?

I remember being over the moon when we signed him.. and then confused when we didn't 

[Mr X]

Have City ever signed a player from that area of the world? (excluding the Meteb debacle!)

We had that Keinan (?) bloke on loan from Cardiff - he was Israeli I think.

[BTRFTG]

Schrödinger posed himself exactly that question and concluded whilst a footballer one had never heard of could exist (theoretically,) if they did then they'd be playing for The Gas and were utterly of no consequence to man nor beast.

Cogito Ergo Non Sum Gashead.

Dekel Keinan aye, back playing in Israel at the moment. Played 1 minute of league football for us in 11/12, and didn't get in the squad otherwise. Solid investment.

[Mr X]

Looked Keinan up just the one appearance. You've got a good memory!

Jehad  Muntasser was from Libya

[Aizoon]

Simply untrue. The best player I've never heard of is, you know, the guy with the boots, name's on the tip of my tongue....

[Roger Red Hat]

Good work by his agent, placing this on the Beeb a couple of weeks before the window opens!

[Judda]

Interesting. Just the same information on BBC sport website... 

[j8mbob]

I would be surprised if he leaves Al Ain! The money he is on there is equivalent to a top Premier League player. The Sheik who owns the club can afford to keep him without being swayed by a huge transfer fee!

What about ambition as a player though? Surely you want to challenge the best players in the world.
