Looking at his latest outing, dude is perfect for this team.

CFG must be willing to bet very heavily on their scouting since it appears the entire public record on this guy consists of exactly one season in the Croatian league in which he scored 8 goals.

I am whelmed.

Poor kid’s timing sucks. His arrival is ignored because it’s the same day Taty’s sale became official and the shit storm of reactions to the Gaby news.

i don't expect much but at the same time i have high hopes. maybe the fact that he spoke with heber before deciding to come is a sign he'll be a monster for us for the final 10 games?

Two out of two Bekrars agree: he’s great.

according to this we have the algerian benzema.

Also there are about 40 something comments by Algerians to that post and it’s very sweet.

I joke but if he finishes and combines like benzema the last few years, I'll be very happy and will be the first to call him the Algerian benzema in public

Well, second.

Benzema is the son of Algerian parents…..so I guess Bakrar is the Algerian born Benzema?

As long as he doesn't also blackmail his teammates like Benzema it should work out great.

Moves very well off the ball and tucks in his shirt!

encouraging cameo

i can't access twitter to take a screenshot, but seems the club (fans?) have dubbed our algerian benzema as "Bak-man" ...
