Ghaly completes Birmingham move
Hatem Maher Published in FilGoal on 28 - 07 - 2007

Egyptian midfielder Hossam Ghaly announced on Saturday that he has joined Premiership newly-promoted side Birmingham City from Tottenham Hotspur for £3 million.
"I put the finishing touches to the move and signed the contract. I passed the medical and will link up with my new Birmingham team-mates within the next couple of days," Ghaly told Dream TV.
"As for Mido, I don't know what will happen in the coming few days after he disagreed with Birmingham over certain clauses in the contract."
Ghaly is Birmingham's sixth acquisition in the off-season following the arrival of Rafael Schmitz, Daniel De Ridder, Olivier Kapo, Garry O'Connor and Stuart Parnaby.
The former Ahli midfielder joined Tottenham from Dutch club Feyenoord in January 2006.
He established himself as a talent to watch last season but his relationship with Tottenham boss Martin Jol strained after his furious reaction for being substituted in a Premiership game against Blackburn Rovers.
Ghaly was introduced to the pitch in the 29th minute instead of the injured Steed Malbranque but was booed by his own fans whenever he touched the ball.
This was mainly due to Ghaly's delay in passing the ball that led to him being replaced on the hour mark, making way for striker Robbie Keane.
However, Jol's decision was not welcomed by the 25-year-old as he threw down his shirt and went straight into the tunnel amid heavy boos from the home crowd.
