Redminster Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Me too! The quality of my link's crap (couldn't get te 500+ kbps link to buffer sufficiently) but if there's a number 9 on the pitch for Ahly, it will be him. I don't think GJ is going to be happy about this if he is on the pitch. He doesn't suffer people who go against their word lightly. Maybe if it's not too late, GJ would even react by pulling the plug on the deal? :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SE23Red Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Well, GJ definitely said that. I'd assume that he knows the score. In the same breath as saying he wouldn't play tonight so don't be so sure... The work permit won't be declined because he exceeds all the criteria. It doesn't matter if it will be accepted or not. The point is the player's current club wouldn't have to cancel his registration for us to apply for a work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 He is playing alright.. Well, if it was me I'd tell him to enjoy the next game playing for El-Alhy as well - cos he sure as hell won't be putting on a City shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly for Bristol City football club, I think that will be GJ's reaction, and rightly so IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is the player's current club wouldn't have to cancel his registration for us to apply for a work permit. So in other words you know how work permits and registrations work better than GJ? Fair enough. More likely to my mind is that the club just changed their mind and agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashcott Boy Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I'm very nervous sitting here watching this, hes gone down from tackles a couple times and every time i pray he gets back up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't worry about it - if we've been outflanked and duped by a loophole then he won't be playing up front for us anytme soon. At least I hope he doesn't.

TinnionForEngland Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I'm sure this will all be explained and hopefully it will all just be an over exagerration to something that hasn't come out yet in the media, this game is pretty boring by the way.

Agreed on both points, assuming he comes through this game unscathed i would imagine he will still become a City player. Would he really jeopardise his move by playing in this game?! I'm sure the 2 clubs came to some sort of late agreement and at least hes keeping his fitness up. It is also a very boring game at the moment, quite physical and disjointed football being played.

cheese Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I find it surprising then, that having given permission for him to play, nothing has been said on the OS - you'd think they'd stick up a story telling us that this is an opportunity to see the new boy in action. From what is currently in the public domain, he wasn't going to be playing - if nothing has been agreed behind the scenes then I for one hope he never pulls on a City shirt.

It's a bit naughty playing a game without permission (if that's the case) but surely it speaks well for his loyalty and enthusiasm. If he doesn't have permission I'd expect a quiet bollocking and hardly any comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't have permission I'd expect a quiet bollocking and hardly any comment. OTT? No, I don't think so. GJ expressly said that he woulnd't be playing. That's £1.5M worth of investment being risked out there. Hand grenade time and going to Yeovil or Cheltenham isn't an option. Nope, tell him the deal's off and to enjoy his time in Egypt.

oldfield Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Either we have been lied to by City, or Meteb and Al Ahly have been playing with us like a puppet on a string. I believe City need to clarify there position sooner rather than later. If we have been lied to by the player and Al Ahly, then I think we look for another striker now.
