Mido will join Amr Zaki on loan till
the end of season. The deal has been agreed to transfer
Mido to Wigan and bring Marlong King to Boro in a swap
deal.
Mido to Wigan, King to Boro and Heskey
could be join Villa:
Three moves with relation to each other
are going to happen within days. Middlesboro are going
to sign Wigan's on loan striker at Hull City Marlon
King. On the other hand, Boro's striker Mido will be
loaned out to Wigan while the Latics target man Emile
Heskey will possibly join Aston Villa or Liverpool in
the coming days.
Mido: A new Latic till end of season:
Mido hasn't been happy lately at Boro.
Their deteriorating league form and Gareth Southgate's
desire to start with Alves and Tuncay made the Egyptian
striker unsettled at the Teesside. He received interest
from a number of Premiership clubs and a few clubs from
outside England as well.
Mido's swap deal with King came just in
the right time for the Egyptian forward. He will be
guaranteed a starting spot alongside Zaki if Heskey
decided to leave in this month. He will also help Zaki
score more goals as he has the ability to win the ball
in the air and his hold up play under pressure is second
to known.
Who Will Start: Mido, Zaki or Heskey.
Normally, Mido will be Heskey's replacement.
However, if the English international decided to stay
till summer, Mido will still be used as a left winger
as Wigan lack much in the left flank and need a left
footed midfielder/forward to offer some threat from
the left as the only threat for Wigan comes from the
right winger Valencia.
It should be noted that Wigan will need
to sign a defensive midfielder soon after losing Palacios
to Tottenham in the current window. Despite this, the
money that they received from this deal will enable
them to bid for Zaki and sign him permanently in the
summer.
It is also worth mentioning that both
Mido and Zaki are expected to start on Wednesday as
Wigan face Liverpool at the JJB. Interestingly, both
strikers scored versus the Reds at the Anfield.. Will
they repeat that at the JJB stadium?
