Mido thrown out of Egypt squad

_blank_

Well, he was subbed in the ANC Semi final against Senegal, then had a right pop at the coach.

Breaking news on SSN that he's been thrown out of the squad, and suspended for six months.

Looks like the Defoe / Keane partnership won't get off the ground after all.

Just seen this, he is the captain isn't he? was watching one game and he was talking to the players more than the coach. Bit of a joke sacking your best player

Great to see him back thou, can stick him back into Fantasy Football team

I watched it last night on the news and tbh, the Manager had no choice but to send him home. He had a right go at him in front of everybody.

The ironic thing is that the sub that was brought on for Mido scored the winning goal which kinda justifies his substitution.

Was thinking the same thing myself, but I reckon Jol might stick them for at least the next 2 games.

Good news for Spurs. Apart from the game at the weekend, they'd been struggling without him.

No chance, even after the game Jol said he still prefered to have a big man up front so I would say goodbye to Defoe, Keane has been imense the last few months for Spurs

Well he'll definitely be playing them against Sunderland on Sunday. As you've said, Keane has ben on top form the last while and Defoe has gotten 2 in his last match. I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

Tottenham misfit Grzegorz Rasiak has joined Southampton on loan for the rest of the season with a view to a permanent move in the summer.

The Polish striker joins up again with Saints head coach George Burley, who signed him for Derby.

He has signed a three-month contract at St Mary's and will then complete a guaranteed £2million move.

The 27-year-old, who Burley signed on a free transfer from Siena before selling him on to Spurs for £2million, has endured a frustrating spell at White Hart Lane, starting just five games under Martin Jol and failing to find the net.
"It was hard for me at Tottenham because I did not play much and I need to be playing regularly ready for the World Cup," he told the club's official website, www.saintsfc.co.uk.

"But that is a long way off and now I have to concentrate on helping Southampton, starting with a big game at Reading on Friday."

Mido back and Rasiak is out, knew this would happen. Hasn't done much this season at Spurs and I think it was just a player Jol brough in because he couldn't get anyone else in to cover. Wonder who Spurs will go after in summer to replace him. That Dutch guy?

It seems as though its actually 100% certain that he will "properly" join in the summer, an interesting loophole in the transfer window.

Mido has a terrible reputation for falling out with coaching staff. He fell out with the staff at Marseilles and then again at Roma. Glad to see he looks to have finally found somewhere that he wont fall out with the coaching because IMO hes a brilliant player. Heres hoping that he can keep it that way and fullfil his potential.

Necronomicon

Another manager to add to Mido's hit-list He's a good player, but he really has a bit of a bad reputation when it comes to internal discipline. Was it at Roma where he threatened his manager with a scissors??

p.s. Anybody want to explain to me how Southampton signed Rasiak outside of the transfer window?

I think you're allowed loan signings when you're caught desperately short for cover in a particular area...

Chucky the tree

I dont think the transfer window applies to clubs outside the premier league. THey cant sign anyone from a foreign club, but in the uk its fine.

MrJoeSoap

Transfer window applies the same outside the Premiership. Southampton have been allowed get their loan signings and have agreed with Spurs to sign Rasiak permanently during the next transfer window.

Clubs outside the Premiership are allowed to sign players on loan, as long as they are based in England, up until April or something like that. They are not allowed make permanent signings though.

Necronomicon

Thanks for that, wasn't aware of that rule. Rasiak reunited with Burely, might reignite his touch. He was very good for Derby last season when they finished in the play-offs.

Heres video of the incident:

Mido said after being sent home he wouldn't be apologising to his manager. He thought he was playing well and would have scored. Unbelievable really, how can any player say they would have scored, and expect to save face. He was having an ineffective game and got 75 minutes anyway. Really, he is so far up his own hole.

I'm delighted for the manager because he would of been the fall guy if Egypt had not progressed because of what happened between him and Mido. Mido put him in a very difficult situation but thankfully it backfired on him.

MrJoeSoap

That video is class.

Mido is a Yiddo, Mido is a Yiddo,
La la la la,
La la la la!

Glad he's back for Sunday, and with a bit of luck that coach will stay with Egypt for 10 years and we'll never have to let himgo to the ACN again...:D

SuprSi

This is a big weekend for Spurs (how long have I been saying that!!) as we've got what on paper should be the easiest draw out of all the teams around us.

Arsenal v Bolton
Wigan v Liverpool
Sunderland v Spurs

If Spurs can pull off a win, regardless of the other results, some of the teams will drop away. I'd happily take a draw in both the other games

Sorry about the late reply here, but Ive only just seen the clip of Mido going off on one at the Egypt manager!! I can't say too much cos when Rooney lost the plot v NI (and Spain when Sven hooked him) I wasn't laughing much then (I am English in case you havent realised), suffice to say, I wish more players had the passion shown by Mido (and Rooney). I think he has done well for Spurs this season and his partnership with Defoe and/or Keane has been pretty potent. If Jol can sign Mido, perhaps the Yiddos have a bargain on their hands.
