Mr BIG finally joins zamalek

By: Tamim | July 3rd, 2008

finally, junior agogo signed for zamalek. the ghana striker , currently top scorer for his country in the world cup qualifiers, was officially announced yesterday a zamalek player and will join the preparation camp tomorrow.

after we all thought that the transfer was a failure when he came to cairo and negotiated with the club but he said he will not play in the egyptian league, suddenly we read the news of agogo signing for zamalek coming from Nottingham forest in england.

“I am happy to be finally here. The move has been hampered several times but when we held head-to-head talks things went fast,” Agogo said in the press conference that was held for the new signings.

The 29-year old striker will earn him 350 000 euros per season. in a 3 years deal.

i think this the transfer of the season for us, the guy enjoy enormous physical power that no defender in the egyptian league can cope up with and his skills aren’t bad so we have a man who knows how to score what else do we need? we don’t want ronaldinho here!!!.

BTW, he will no take number 20, hew ill be number 9 or 19, this jersey in the picture was just a show for the media.

In other news:

- the team already played 2 friendlies, tied in one 1-1 with el ahly bank and won 3-0 against haras el hdood

-amr zaki was suspended after the troubles he made with the club president mamdooh abbas, he requested zamalek to leave him to play in england with wigan or else he will complain to the fifa, he said that the club president insulted him during their meeting!!!

i think amr zaki has gone too far in this issue, he want to leave and the president asked him to play the upcoming 2 matches against ahly and then he may go, bu he stupidly lost people support when he went attacking the club in the media. for its side the club administration should have kept its promise of leaving him after winning the cup. we just have to wait and see what happens.

- shikabala will be suspended for 4 months after the fifa’s court gave its final say in his case between zamalek and paok of greece. zamalek bought shikabala without paok’s agreement because the player had to return to egypt to do his military service but paok brought the issue to fifa and now shikabala is suspended, whatever the reasons are we lost a very important and vital player for the team!!!

NOTE: i said last time that abd el halim ali left the team, i am very sorry but it seems that i misunderstood. the player is still in the team and will be scoring for us next year. but if you saw what was written you would have thought that he left already. sorry again
