    I've often watched pre-season and thought "x looks good, y looks good, z was poor" for the entire pre season then x and y are rubbish when the real season starts and z is fantastic!! Never judge from pre season but it's good that he wasn't a "I'm better than this level" performance which, as you say, may be the way some players go

    Hope people being able to pronounce his name properly would be a start like.

    Hopefully he’s half as good as we’ve all convinced ourselves he is with absolutely no evidence to back it up <laugh>

    Ah League One.

    this is true, and the reason i tried to avoid making him sound like a real world beater, unfortunatley that one half is all we have to go off...sometimes though, as you rightly say, a player can look quality then have a bad season, others have started bad and turned into a fans fave...time will tell but i do have a good feling about this lad.

    I'm taking a stab at it being pronounced Sha-may-lee but who knows.

    Seems to have a bit of pedigree and he's a good age.

    Will be more like Zha-my-lee.

    Based on other Swiss/Kosovons. Think Xhaka.

    I've always said Shaka for Xhaka is that wrong? Probably is my-lee now you mention it.

    I can roll with that. Prefer Benny to Benno as we have our Benno already.

    We can’t just call him ‘The Kosovan’, even if that does sound like a cool as **** film baddie.

    Jemaali is what bbc Newcastle are calling him. Either way I’m not bothered. If he dues the job then that’s good enough for me
