Yakubu agent: No Birmingham offer
tribalfooball.com - July 28, 2007

The agent of Middlesbrough striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni has cooled talk of a move to Birmingham City. Barry Silkman said: "Birmingham have never made an offer for Yakubu. I would think he would be way beyond their price range.
"I am not saying he would not go to Birmingham but they have not made an offer and even if they were going to, £10million is not going to buy him.
"Middlesbrough have already had offers of £10m and £10.5m and turned them down."

Birmingham not giving up on Mido
tribalfooball.com - July 27, 2007

Birmingham boss Steve Bruce has not given up hope of signing Mido, but admits there is "a lot of work to be done" to revive his £6million move. Bruce is more hopeful of signing Mido's Tottenham team-mate Hossam Ghaly after holding talks with the player on Thursday.
One of the stumbling blocks with the Mido deal is believed to be a buy-out clause in the contract which would permit the Egyptian international to quit St Andrews should another club offer a certain amount of money.
Bruce said: "It does look as if we are drifting away (with the Mido deal). I've really tried my best, the club have tried their best and we will attempt to persevere with it.
"But there is a lot of work to be done and we might have to look elsewhere, which would be a shame - but you never know."

Birmingham cool Ghaly enthusiasm
tribalfooball.com - July 28, 2007

Birmingham denied reports they have already signed Tottenham midfielder Hossam Ghaly, insisting the deal is "nowhere near" being finalised. The Egyptian international has been quoted claiming he has passed a medical and signed a contract with the Midlands club.
Ghaly told Dream TV: "I have put the finishing touches to the move and signed the contract.
"I passed the medical and will link up with my new Birmingham team-mates within the next couple of days."
But a Blues spokesman said the deal was "nowhere near" being finalised.

Birmingham manager Steve Bruce is confident Spurs midfielder Hossam Ghaly will finally sign for the club within the next 24 hours.

But Bruce is virtually resigned to losing his battle to sign Ghaly's club and country team-mate Mido, rating his chances as 'less than 50-50.'

Ghaly was in Birmingham on Saturday to tie up his move and, although further talks are planned, Bruce is optimistic the Egypt international will become his eighth signing of the summer.

Bruce said: 'We are still in talks with Hossam and we hope that, by Monday, he will be added to the squad all being well.

'I let one midfielder go in Stephen Clemence and that was a tough decision. If Ghaly is as good as Clemence was in his five years here then I'll be delighted.'

On Mido, Bruce said: 'The deal looks a bit off. It's to do with different clauses. I can't say more as that would not be fair on the player.

'It's fair to say our chances are less than 50-50. We still hope we can pull it off but it's noting to do with finances.'

Bruce added: 'I'd look for another striker if one was available but it's whether you can get one. We have four weeks before the window closes and last year we did our best bit of business just before the start of the season.'

Bruce has been linked with Middlesbrough striker Aiyegbeni Yakubu but his agent Barry Silkman believes the player would be out of Birmingham's price range at more than £10million.

It is now official that Hossam Ghaly signed for Blues a 3 year contract for a fee worth £3m.

Birmingham official website announced the signing of Hossam Ghaly for the Blues a few hours ago. The Egyptian put pen on paper this morning in a 3 year deal which will keep him at Birmingham till 2010.

The 25 year old Egyptian midfielder should not have a problem obtaning a conditional work permit and so, the transfer is not completed.

Following the signature of Ghaly, Blues coach Steve Bruce expressed his delight with the transfer saying that the Egyptian will fill the gap that was left by the depaarture of Stephen Clemence.

"The signing of Hossam is an excellent acquisition," said Bruce.

"With the loss of Stephen Clemence, he will play a vital role in the middle of the park for us this season. he added

Bruce continued to praise the Egyptian by saying: "I was always very impressed with him whenever I watched him play for Spurs last season.
"He has all the credentials that we are looking for in a player, he is only 25, a very talented international who still has the hunger to succeed in the Premiership.

"As well as being technically gifted, Hossam can also stand up to the physical side of the game so he will give us that extra edge in midfield.

"We are delighted to have him on board."
