However, they can't accept Mido's wage demands. reports from England revealed that Steve Bruce is still confident of capturing Hossam Ghaly from Tottenham. However, the talks with Mido didn't show any development as the Blues couldn't agree on Mido's wage demands. It was also claimed that Birmingham wanted to loan Mido but Spurs preferred to let the Egyptian go on a permanent deal to cover the £16m that they spent on Darren Bent this summer. So, unless Birmingham agrees to pay Mido what he wants or the Egyptian lowers his wage demands, the Egyptian hitman might stay with Spurs for the time being or wait or a better contract from Boro and Fulham who are currently monitoring the situation. |

The manager confirmed that Mido is miles away from signing for Blues but he stressed that he didn't give up on signing the Egyptian's compatriot at Spurs, Ghaly. Birmingham manager Steve Bruce admitted that he is losing hope in signing Egyptian striker Mido as he described the deal as "a million miles away" from being completed. Bruce added that a "few issues" - but more than just agreeing personal terms - appear to have resulted in the deal not going through. Suggested reasns maybe the player's high wage demand, length of the contract and some clauses in the contract that Mido didn't agree to sign unless Blues officials modify these clauses. "It is more than just personal terms. There are a few issues. It is a big blow and I have felt better. The more quality players you can sign the better. Said Bruce "It looks as if we are really struggling with the Mido deal and I might have to look elsewhere. He added On the other side, Bruce didn't exclude the possibility of signing Ghaly, he addmitted though that there are some other issues that delayed the transfer. "As for Ghaly, it is faltering a little but I am still hopeful of reviving that deal. I haven't given up hope." |

| Soccer Forums Rookie Offline Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Manial , cairo , egypt Posts: 2,639 vCash: 19835 Rep Points: 437 | Blues coach Steve Bruce revealed that Mido asked for a clause in his contract which Birmingham officials didn't agree on. The clause is a buy-out release clause to allow him leave for a certain fee if another club offered that amount of cash for him Birmingham Mail revealed that a buy-out release clause was the main hurdle that prevented Mido's transfer from going through. In addition to this, other issues relating to relegation and agents fees added to the dilemma. Today Bruce said: "Unfortunately it does look as if we are drifting away. I've tried my best, the club have tried their best and we will attempt to persevere with it. "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." He added. On Ghaly, Bruce was cautiously optimistic in his comments as he said: "We had meetings all yesterday and negotiations are on-going. I'm hopeful on that one but, again, we will have to wait and see." So, it seems that both deals still can go through,. However, Ghaly's deal is still the one that is most likely to happen. |

Rafael Benitez's side take on Pompey in the final of the Asia Trophy in Hong Kong Stadium on Friday evening. And Redknapp is confident that after a summer of heavy investment, the coming campaign will not prove to be another false dawn for Reds supporters. "I do think they will be contenders this year," he said. "They're looking very strong. The backbone of the team is still Carragher and Gerrard, two homegrown players, but they've added a lot of quality again and will be a lot closer to Manchester United and Chelsea. "Tottenham are a team that could push into the top four this year as well if anyone's going to. They've got that bigger squad and have spent a lot of money over the last couple of years so they'll be very strong. "West Ham, Newcastle, Aston Villa, they'll all improve, but I think everyone will have a go this year. "We'll try to improve on what we did last season. We finished ninth and missed out on Europe on the last day of the season, but I think with this squad the aim is to get a European place this year and I think it's possible. He added: "I'm quite happy with the squad. "Unlike other years where we've been desperate to get players in just to have half a chance, we're strong this year. If I can add a bit extra, I will, but I've got to find the right player." |
