Blues:
Birmingham City have continued their interest in the
striker. Steve Bruce spoke sarcastically of Hossam Ghaly,
refering to him as "Mr Ghaly", and indicating
that Blues had never lost their interest in his compatriot
Mido. In the mean time, Spurs are having to be patient
with the newly promoted club.
"It has been difficult for the last couple of
weeks, especially with Spurs after what happened with
Mr Ghaly," said Bruce.
"But our offer has always been there for Mido,"
he continued.
The Birmingham manager contemplated the Ghaly deal
which simply went wrong. "It was just disappointing
because all summer I'd tracked him," he said, before
praising the Egyptian's footballing abilities and dubbing
the saga both "horrible" and "sad".
"I know what happened but at the end of the day
I've lost a really good midfield player.
"It was a horrible end because a lot of people
did a lot of work on the deal.
"It was sad but the plain fact is he didn't want
to be here."
Boro:
At Middlesbrough, Yakubu Ayegbini is about to head
to Everton, and Gareth Southgate is keen on securing
a deal for Mido.
Boro are ready to spend £6 million and are in
talks with the Egyptian striker, who had revealed to
a London paper that he has interest from three clubs.
