Rafa confirms Zaki interest

[LondonRed]

Zaki

 

Was thinking about zaki on the trip home saturday evening, and i think he's excatly the type of player Rafa would go for. Big, strong, great work rate for a full 90 and not only scores goals-but good finishes at that. Just not sure if he's already somthing that we've got in torres/keane/kuyt combined.

Im just hoping Rafa hasnt lost his interest in this boy, i've dreamt of him in our shirt for too long now

yes as far as i know according to his wikipedia profile.

[pawlu]

Rafa said "everyone's checking his situation now" about Zaki, hardly confirmation that he wants to buy him.

[Spion kop]

Rafa loves buying strikers who score 2 against us.

im just the messenger using the same headline, so dont be taking it out on me

 

and it says confirms 'Interest' not confirms were approaching them, launching a bid, in talks and he'll have a pre-contract agreement for january.

Man city is a good shout with the arabic connection there

 

I wonder if he can continue his scoring run gor the whole season, or is he like Mido, where he will start in excellent form for his new club before fading away

its difficult to tell if he would be able to raise his game for a bigger club. He's got little pressure on him at Wigan but he looks like he's in better shape then Mido and has more to his game then him to.

Mido is more skilful, but he does seem to have an attitude and a weight problem, Plus Zaki is still an unkown to most defenders, how will he cope when defenders start to learn how deal with him.

 

I think Mido will move to wigan in january, so they will have an all egyptian forward line

 

would love to see someone buying Abu tarika, who is probably Egypt's best player

He's only been playing properly for 2 years

[johngibo YPC]

Not sure we would have got a work permit for him at 17 anyway. European teams always seem to find it easier for some reason

Rafa probably thought he couldn't risk spending £14m on a 17 yr old at that point.

 

re Zaki, has a price been mentioned yet? Have Wigan got one agreed? 6m was mentioned in the Mirror today i think

well i first heard about him through someone i used to work with years ago and then tried to keep up on what he was like via match reports, clips, international youth games - namely the 2005 world youth cup..im not saying im a genius on his career and know everything about him but i hope that answers your question.

How do the 2 points relate to each other?

 

Does this mean we're going to buy clint dempsey?
