Big Clubs Want Me & Mido Causes Me Problems

In an interview with Al-Ahram, Hossam Ghaly
surprised many by stating that there are negotiations
with big clubs after his impressive performances in
England. He also added that Mido is probably on his
way out, and that his attempts to assist the striker
have caused him problems.
"I've performed my best football
since arriving at the club because of the good treatment
I get from the Tottenham staff, particularly Martin
Jol," Ghaly is quoted as saying.
"I didn't expect to perform so well in the Premier
League, to the extent that there are negotiations with
big clubs that I won't state now in order to remain
concentrated," he added.
Talking about compatriot Mido, he said: "I am sad
that Mido hasn't adapted with Martin Jol. He has asked
to leave at the end of the season and he has an offer
from Manchester City.
"But I wish for Mido to stay, as we have a great
relationship, to the extent that I even search for him
on the pitch in order to play the ball to him at the
expense of [Dimitar] Berbatov and Robbie Keane, which
has caused me many problems."
The comments may come as a shock to many, though they may
have been misinterpreted.
