Did he not play for Bresia(SP?) for a while too.
On FBTV it showed him playing for them.

Im think this would help Fener out alot. Espically the midfield. :D

[SiN]

yes he will help but to wat extent...he aint a superstar..hehe

[Refeto]

He arrived to Istanbul today and there was a lots of Fenerbahce fans welcoming him at the airport. He will go to Acibadem for a health check up. After that he will fly to Germany for the pre-season training camp! WELCOME APPIAH!

[Fener_05]

In his interview he said that he never experienced this much love and welcome for him and he got very exicted. :D

WELCOME TO THE REPUBLIC OF FENERBAHCE APPIAH! :D

Of course a great transfer that will help Fener a lot. Real congrats. It is so sad to see that compared to Fener board, how Galatasaray board is shit. Last season, thanks to great job of Hagi, we did a miracle finishing 3rd and winning the Turkish cup but I don't see us making this miracle again this year...

I hope this guy is worth all the money FB paid for him...otherwise you'll having a Juanfran-type transfer (BJK) ;)

No man, You shouldnt think like that. Im sure Gerets will be succesfull. But if we think about your board, they really need to learn how to manage a big club like Galatasaray.

Im sure he'll be happy at Fener and he'll be succesfull. At the begining I wasnt sure about this transfer(icime sinmemisti:D) but now I have faith in him that he'll do good!

I really think this player will do a lot for Fenerbahce, especially in European games. Every team needs a strong, back-bone player with a good sense of offense. And that's exactly what Appiah is. He will be a steel in the middle, that not only make no mistakes, but also the kind of players that can push the team to attack. Change the course of play. Also his finishings are incredible, have you watched any of his goals? If not, do you guys want me to give you links to couple of them?

[Fener_05]

I have seen his golas on FBTV.

[TonySoprano]

I think he will be a great help for the middle block of Fenerbahce. I rather have them sign their initial target, Maldonado but Appiah will do fine as well.

Reason for Maldonado being same quality but cheaper as he had only 6 months left on his current contract.

Appiah is not a good signing. if alex gets hurt, this team has a huge problem to deal with !!Fener needs a better defender in the place of luciano and onder turaci !!!

I disagree.

Alex today scored a goal, but other than that he was nowhere. Appiah is a good signing, he helps a lot with the team constintancy. Alex was lost because finally Anelka Appiah and Selcuk and everyone else was doing their job. They didn't need an Alex to control the game. But he performs well when the team is in trouble, today they were not in trouble and I don't think they'll get in trouble as much as last year.
