Zaki is the complete package- when he is switched on. When I first saw him play for Wigan, he had everything you would want from a centre forward, I would be pleased with this signing- Nicko any truth?

Had a great start to the season then looked very average. Was he found out? Did the opposition find a way to completely nullify him?

I don’t want to tar all Egyptian players with the same brush, but every Egyptian player I can think of has had some attitude problems and off the field issues. Ghaly, Mido, Zaki this Shikabala guy we have been linked to… have all been hard work to deal with.

I believe the Zaki deal is going to happen - don't know whether its good or not, cos he has a bad attitude and hasn't scored since the turn of the year.

Whoah, step back! Is this the mystery striker then?

The guy is a toolbag. But he has talent. And if we are getting him to play with Cruz - so he effectively takes Derbyshire's spot - thats pretty good! How much do we pay?

Edit - if he isn't the mystery striker whats going on? I thought we didn't have much cash? Maybe he only cost 3 million or something? But then six months ago he was being touted at 10?....

He scored 10 goals in the league from 22 starts, that is a good record, he accepted that he made mistakes and Sam would be the ideal manager to tame him. There is no doubting his talent and ability though, 2 goals were against Liverpool so its not as though the opposition was poor.

Vital Football is written by just ordinary fans like you and me. They therefore don't have much more of a clue than you or me or that so-called journalist who writes for the Mail. <_<

They are not usually as definite as that - they say he will be signed in the article, no messing around - plus we have had one corroboration on here. Sounds like it will happen to me, like Heerden a couple of days ago.

Can't figure out where we found the money though?...

Just scanned back so if I missed it, someone correct me...

but while watching the yanks WC qualifier last night, while they were getting torn apart by Costa Rica, I found myself watching a game on Saprissa's home turf, adn watching a kid named Celso Borges play well. Weren't we linked with him a while back, maybe under Hughes? Still looked a decent player, though it looks like he's now at Fredrickstad... any running interest from the club in him?

I'm pretty sure that Nicko dismissed Zaki as the myestery striker. After showing Wigan such complete distain, I'm not sure if he'd really favour a move to a club of relatively similar stature.

I do like Zaki, but feel that we really need to focus our resources on a towering target man who will suit Sam's style of play. I have a feeling that Sam is also thinking this way.

Big Sam distanced the club from Zaki last week didn't he...

If we could get him on loan with a view, i wouldn't be unhappy.

Can't say i have heard anything about him joining though... Heard he was being eyed up by a team in the UAE...

I would LOVE zaki as partner for both Roberts and Roque Santa Cruz.

If we could sell Benni and get mystery striker in our attacking line would be very good!

Some thoughts from Amr Zaky himself about his stay at Wigan

After reading that I'm starting to dislike the guy already. Blames not coming back on time on his relaxed culture then goes onto to disregard his poor second half of the season by comparing himself to much better strikers...many of whom had injuries to excuse their inability to match his 10 goals.

A) He was the only good defender in a woefull defence. If you put Samba in a 4 man defence made up of the West Brom defence and him minus Olsson, they would have still been relegated...

Would you interested in taking this guy for around £4m? He was in a shocking team but he didn't shine in that team, I watched the game on the tele against Liverpool, he was awful! He was very lucky not to give away a pen on Gerrard and made a shocking block on Torres, the lad is a liability!
