Zaki will be sold to 'highest bidder'

Wigan are unlikely to sign Amr Zaki on a permanent deal as his club Zamalek have revealed he will be sold to the highest bidder next summer.

Zaki, currently on loan with Latics for the Premier League season, has scored eight goals in his first 12 games in England's top-flight.

Latics boss Steve Bruce is eager for the loan move to be made permanent in the summer, but could lose out with a bidding war set to ensue.

A host of clubs have been alerted to Zaki's abilities after his impressive start to life at the JJB Stadium.

And his parent club Zamalek insist they will have the final say on Zaki's next destination and will listen to bids from all interested parties.

A statement on Zamalek's official website read: "Amr Zaki has been in the limelight for a while, and the mass media have been fuelling speculation over his next move and whether Wigan would let him seal a new deal or not and so forth.

"We hereby assure that we have the legal rights to either accept or reject offers for the aforementioned player, and no other club are authorised to interfere in potential negotiations.

"We would accept the highest bid for the player."

Last year we have Roque Santa Cruz who performed very well throughout the season and now we have Amir Zaki (so far). I personally never have thought that he could perform in a small club like Wigan. He’s big player like Tevez but way taller. He maybe not as skillful as Tevez but he surely know how to score and probably way cheaper than him.

Did anyone see how he scores against Liverpool? It’s probably one of the best goals for EPL this season.



What do you think guy? Can you see him wearing United's shirt next year?

It's Tevez Again...

Tevez 'worried' by United standing

Carlos Tevez is concerned about his lack of first-team action at Manchester United, according to new Argentina coach Diego Maradona.

Maradona is quoted in The Sun as saying Tevez - who has only started four league games for United this season - is worried after falling behind new signing Dimitar Berbatov in the Old Trafford pecking order.

Maradona, who met with the striker on a trip to United's Carrington training complex last week, said: "Tevez is worried about not being in United's first-choice team.

"He's got a challenge ahead of him to win himself a place among lots of extremely good players, including Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov.

"But I saw he was in good shape and told him that the best way of showing his ability is to win the arm-wrestle against all the other players.

"Then he'll give himself a good chance with the Argentine team."

United still do not own Tevez outright, and must find around £25million to make his move to Old Trafford permanent.

And with reports on Wednesday suggesting Real Madrid might try and sign the striker, there is a chance United could lose him.

However, Maradona added: "I believe in his ability and I know he features in Sir Alex Ferguson's plans."

It's been awhile since the last time I post anything at this blog. I've been busy lately. During that period, we have lost to Liverpool and last week to our arch rival, Arsenal. Also, I kind of sick and tired listening to rumors surrounding Carlos Tevez. It’s like Ronaldo’s case all over again.

We all know that Sir Alex will not sign Tevez on permanent contract because the price (£25million-£30million) is way too high for a striker who has decent scoring records. We have spent too much money on players over the last few years and we are not going to pay that much for him. If they can lower it for less than £20million, it may be possible but until then we have to say good bye to Carlos.

Plus, Carlos is dropped third in striker’s pecking order behind Rooney and Berbatov. Rooney is a fan favorite while Berbatov is not young anymore to stay on the bench. I reckon, Sir Alex will find a replacement with lower price range or maybe another wonder kid.
