Ermin Mahmic is a very exciting, young attacking player - but he is not the “box-to-box midfield player with real physicality” that Martin O’Neill spoke of. Mahmic is dynamic, a good dribbler and comes alive in the final third. He shoots a LOT, good ball-striker but decision making not quite there yet. He’s an attacking midfielder who really only cares about going forward, I don’t think he’ll do much tracking back or defensive work for you. I like his profile, don’t think he’s the finished article yet but I think this profile of player is more suitable for a Celtic midfielder than the ‘Engels’ type player. However he is not the profile of player Martin O’Neill specifically spoke about. If we do want a “box-to-box” player, then from this region I’d be looking at Akram Bouras from Levski Sofia or Anzor Mekvabishvili from Universitatea Craiova.

I’m not sure Gvidas Gineitis is quite the style of player many seem to be casting him as. I don’t think he profiles best as a ball-winning midfielder or destroyer type. He likes to cross (takes set-pieces), has some athletic capabilities in carrying the ball and has a decent range of passing. Reasonably good in the air too. He seems to work hard defensively, but his efficiency rate in defensive duels is very poor. If he is a target, in my opinion it’s because of his physical profile and willingness to go forward and get the ball in the box.

Some updated stuff on Haissem Hassan, now that it seems there is progress (touch wood). Included an overview of his 24/25 LaLiga2 season, you can see that the direct chance creation numbers were a lot higher in a weaker division. Not perfect, flaws in his game - but a definite improvement on what we’ve got.
