If he's Israeli then he's probably Jewish and Jews don't do anything on the Sabbath so I take it he'll only be playing midweek games?


You're talking about ultra-orthodox Jews, these days to be honest. They generally wouldn't be those choosing to play football.

Didn't stop Joe Jacobson from being with us.

They were down to 10 men when he came on though! It's unfair to judge him on one appearance. I reckon he could do a job.

Should be a good addition to the squad...with abit of luck him and hudson will form a good partnership and we'll have a couple extra signings before the end of the transfer window :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Could do with a decent left back ie one who can tackle, and prevent crosses coming in.

Dekel Keinan keen to revive career at Cardiff
by Phil Blanche, Western Mail
Jan 21 2011

ISRAELI defender Dekel Keinan insists Cardiff City is the best place to revive his career.

Keinan, 26, has agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Cardiff and was last night putting the finishing touches to his transfer-window move from Blackpool.

According to the Jewish Chronicle, Keinan will earn £420,000-a-year, slightly higher than his earnings at Bloomfield Road, and receive a £100,000 bonus if Cardiff are promoted to the Premier League this season.



Keinan – who was signed from Maccabi Haifa in a £500,000 deal last season – said: “The current situation at Blackpool is not good for my career.

“Cardiff is the best place for me. There is no reason to just carry on sitting on the bench because it’s important for me to play.

“I want to be much more involved on the pitch. Success, from my point of view, will be getting Cardiff into the Premier League.”

Keinan, who has been capped by Israel, will become Bluebirds boss Dave Jones’ third signing of the January transfer window.

Having already signed £100,000 striker Jon Parkin and Arsenal’s Jay Emmanuel-Thomas on loan until the end of the season, Jones was keen to bolster his defensive options.

Mark Hudson and Gabor Gyepes have often failed to convince as a partnership this season and Keinan’s arrival should provide greater stability in this area.

Keinan made only three Premier League starts for Blackpool, the last coming in a controversial 3-2 defeat in Aston Villa in November when Tangerines boss Ian Holloway was criticised for making 10 changes to his team.

Holloway confirmed that Keinan is on the verge of signing for Cardiff.

“Yes, there is a chance,” Holloway said. “My chairman (Karl Oyston) has been dealing with that, so where that is I don’t know. But, yes, I understand that it is Cardiff.”

Meanwhile, tomorrow’s opponents Watford have signed Tottenham Hotspur winger Andros Townsend on loan until the end of the season.

Townsend, 19, spent the first half of this campaign on loan with Ipswich, but returned to Spurs where he marked his full debut with a goal in the FA Cup win over Charlton earlier this month.

Townsend goes straight into the Hornets squad headed for the Cardiff City Stadium with Watford boss Malky Mackay describing him as an “exciting talent with a fantastic attitude”.

“He is someone we have been tracking while he was at Ipswich, hoping we might have a chance to get him when he went back to Spurs.

“We are grateful to Harry Redknapp and his coaching staff for being so accommodating.

“He is an exciting talent with a fantastic attitude.”

Townsend is Watford’s second signing in as many days following Aston Villa striker Andreas Weimann’s arrival on loan until the end of the season.

Weimann has revealed he consulted former Hornet Ashley Young before making the move to Vicarage Road.

The 19-year-old Austrian said: “I had a good chat with Ashley Young about coming here and he had nothing but great things to say about Watford.

“Watford are flying high right now but I’ve never been out on loan before so I wanted to come somewhere full of confidence.

“But I’m not expect-ing to walk into the side.

“Here at Watford there are probably the two most in-form strikers (Danny Graham and Marvin Sordell) in the league.”

DEKEL SIGNS DEAL WITH BLUEBIRDS
Fri 21 Jan 2011
Cardiff City Football Club is pleased to confirm the signing of Israeli international defender Dekel Keinan from Blackpool.

Dekel joins the Bluebirds for an undisclosed fee on a two and a half year deal. Paperwork has been submitted, and we now await receipt of a Work Permit for Dekel before the move can be finalised.

Speaking of the deal, Dave Jones said: "Dekel's another quality player of International standard that we're bringing to the football club. I tried to get him here at the start of the season, but at that time he wanted to go to the Premier League which I understood.
