Tomas has the excellent combination of a strong physical presence, agility and technical ability.

Danny is an experienced player who is used to playing at the highest level. He has a fantastic ability to create chances and we are delighted that we have been able to bring him to the Club.

We are appreciative of the understanding of the Egyptian FA. They have taken into account both the interests of the players and our club. There was an excellent spirit of co-operation.

This will give him the chance to play first-team football and we are pleased he will get that opportunity.

We'll have to be tough in Dublin. We'll need to have a strong physical presence because the Irish are going to come at us hard. But we're more than capable.

I think it was a physical let down. We had a strong inside presence, but our guards were all sick.
