Right about the volley. Didn't think of it, my bad.
Not a perfect player, but the best Israeli one, and that's enough for me :)
I think that after spending some time in the EPL in WH he could become a player good enough even to start on the '2nd rate teams' (like you called them).
Being a Roma fan, I would sure like him to be there :) (but WH is not bad too :P)

Pards apparently said (once again at the dinner after yesterday's game), that he's looking to play Yossi wide right in a 4-4-2, and/or at central midfield in a 4-5-1, which he's intending to play at times this season.
He looks nothing like Dave Grohl?!!? :lol: :lol:

Don't worry, he's actually pretty thin (that's why some people in Israel question how he would do in the EPL). Must have given him a shirt a few sizes too big :P

That's what some guy here posted Yossi said on the newspaper (I didn't get the chance to read the sports section today so I wouldn't know).

He's not tall.

He usually plays behind the strikers or left wing, but he constantly shifts sides according to how play is developed.
