Guest swindlered Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 You've got me lusting even more for Cleopatra and I was born 2,000+ years too late to be able to meet and greet her. I can but dream of a Goblin in my Grotto from Cleo. I can but dream :tounge: According to the Daily Mail (So it must be true..) Far from the glamorous Hollywood image cut by Elizabeth Taylor in 1963 the last Pharoah had a shallow forehead, pointed chin, thin lips and a witch-like nose. Much better sticking with Liz.

mcbcfc Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 My interpretation is: 1- BCFC only faxed an offer for the player and Al Ahly want a BCFC headed letter signed by SL or GJ. 2- Agent was waiting for another offer from a top european side but has given up on that now. 3- Player happy to join BCFC but we must meet his terms. 4- Terms were again faxed (not written) and they want it in writing. 5- The player will be in Bristol for a medical on July 12th but he could still change his mind if another offer comes in. 6- Agent says nothing will be rushed as it is the players long term furture he is sorting out.

chowie Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Some more news translated from Egypt, this make more sense as the date of July 12th was worring because he would have played 1 maybe 2 more games before coming here. So sounds like he's on a plane Monday. El-Ahly.com aware that Emad Meteb player first team football club Al-Ahli set later traveling to England early next week for a medical examination in the club Bristol City, one first-class league clubs before officially joining the ranks of his team's new starting next season . The Committee on the ball had agreed to sell the player for the club Bristol to 5 t 1 million pounds sterling. It is noteworthy that the Commission on the ball they wish to stay with the team player to participate in the two summits in the African Championship and Super Egypt before completing the deal final. It was tired and had agreed to his transfer to play in the English League first-class particularly since the Commission on the ball and put the resolution in his hand.

cidercity Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Unlike some of the idiots on this forum I haven't just come home from a Restaurant and made that up. LJ was a gent and players often talk about potential targets... I remember talking to Louis Carey about Adebola before he signed. Your opinion though. I have met LJ (he comes into my workplace) and he is a really nice bloke. I can see him telling you this as he was willing to discuss what was happening down the gate last season, i personally would not put onto this forum what we talked about but that is my choice.

madmax Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 But to say a player has said that on a Public Forum is pretty stupid in my opinion, as basically you've said a player at a tight lipped club has revealed all our targets to you. Personally regardless of his father being manager I doubt anyone bar GJ and SL know who the bids are for, whose close and whose a no go. Get over it, s hit happens.

chowie Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Not too sure of that making sense personally ! If I'm reading it correctly, they wanted him to play in the next couple of games for them before he leaves ? But he's chosen not to do that and he's coming here to complete a medical early next week and to complete the deal ? So July 12th is the completion date ? :noexpression: July 12th was the previous date in the press over there but now they saying early next week, so with July 12th Al-Ahly have two (maybe one) games before, so it seemed strange to me that he could have been playing games before coming here.

Guest Ahmed Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Trust me he HAS been mentioned. Many of the newspapers and magazines are reluctant when it comes to posting the same news in English let alone posting it over the web at all. About the Bristol supporters club, I think that's too soon to say. However, when Mido (Ahmed Hossam) was up & running in Tottenham, ALOT of Spurs shirts were sold in Egypt and many Egyptians supported Spurs at that time. Hopefully it will be the same for Meteb. As for his English, I don't know but I *think* its okay since Egyptians are bilingual and English is widely used. It really depends on where in Egypt did he grow as educational quality tends to be less as you move to the South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to hang around to see if they were getting a name printed on them, but i must at this point started to look suspcious in the shop so long with out buying anything. Like i said, in this day of a multi culturall society it may mean nothing, or maybe, just maybe we might hear something exciting tomorrow morning! (and before anyone else, says it no i don't mean shirt sales are on the up!!!!) Probabaly nothing, but you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Don't shoot me down just reporting what i saw today, could be coincedince..... I went into the club shop today around 1630, the only other people in the shop we're two men (one perhaps in his 50's, the other mid 30's) with how can i say it? Arabic colouring. They were jabbering away to each other in a foriegn language about which City shirts to buy, when i left the older guy had a home and away one plus a kids home shirt, the other guy had at least two shirts.

(and before anyone else, says it no i don't mean shirt sales are on the up!!!!) that does sound too coincidental........ don't get me wrong it could be a co-incidence, but i doubt it. But then again it could be some Egyptians who live in bristol, who have heard he is signing for us?? afterall he is like there version of beckham apparently..........

A good point, but if us on here who have been following this saga for over a month now still don't know if he's going to sign, would some local egypitians be spending cash in the hope he does? (assuming they were buying it with emad in mind) Also i saw some signs of defecation in the park, on closer inspection more likley to be from a cocker spaniel than a camel though !

Multi cultural society it may be, but there's not a great deal of evidence of it in the AG crowd to date. This may change now and these in-the-know local Egyptians may be in the vanguard of a fez festooned multitude of new Egyptian City fans flocking to AG and buying the colours. Good work Sarge, a nosey eavesdropper you may be but it was in the best of causes and you appear to be the first with any credible confirmation that Emad is about to be unveiled.

Don't know about that, but must admit as soon as i saw them and heard them babbling (could not tell you what language) i put two and two together and hoped that they were family members of the Meteb clan. Hopefully Emad was inside the stadium somewhere tieing up the deal. Maybe i saw what i wanted to see, time will tell. Wasn't his club playing tonight? If anyone could find thier starting line up it could blow this theroy out of the water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
