Syd spent four and a half years in Oman,have worked in Dubai, Sharjah, Quater, Abu Dhabi, Saudi, Bahrain, kuwait, and never bloody heard of this place, and supposed to have half a million people in one area/town/city whatever. and still never heard of it, and as for a popular tourist venue, how many Brits have even heard of the place? never mind sendig postcards from.
From their club website Asamoah expressed his pleasure and happiness by joining Al Ain Club, assuring his knowledge of the great Club and he is aware fully that he is joining a great team that won the continent trophy and had shining names of footballers like Obeidi Beleh, Abu Baker Sango, and others. LOL, you didn't have a ****ing clue who or where they were Asa so lying already, at least he's consistent. Must say like, he was a great player that Obeidi Beleh???????????????????????????????????
I've been to Al Ain a few times and it is a real dump. Its like the Middle Eastern equivenlant of Grimsby. Its just under 3 hrs from Dubai, but I imagine he will be living there. Its such a step down from Sunderland and the Premier League its unreal. Its interesting reading a Ghanaian forum and they are all saying he is a money grabbing dickhead basically. They are pissed off that this wont help him play better from Ghana. Thing is, his stock will go down and he wont get the big move he wants. If he played his nuts off here for a year a team playing in Europe would get him, its so short sighted its unreal.
Ha ha ha. I'm a self confessed football ****ing geek, and i have never heard of these 2 ****ers. If you google 'Obeidi Beleh' he doesn't have a Wiki page, like any even average footballer does, he only comes up as part of the Al Ain website. A true Maradona botherer.
Is it short-sighted? If he'd gone on a permanent deal, I'd say he was nuts. But it's only a one-year loan and he might just be playing it very canny. Does anyone really believe Bruce has the rest of the season to go at Sunderland? Not many, for sure. So Gyan goes out there, makes a bonny penny, talks to our new manager next summer (hopefully someone who understands forward, attacking play) then comes back here and shines. And if there's more than one attacking player here to take the pressure off him, I think Asamoah Gyan will shine. He's not short of ability. That could be the plan.
I, for one, don't want him back under any circumstances. He's ****ed the club over and left us in the lurch outside the transfer window for money, to play in a 15k stadium in a backwater league. He can **** right off.
Nice little theory cutey, but I really can't see this scenario coming to fruition. If it did, it would be a bigger surprise than a really, really, big surprise.
You're right - and somebody inside SAFC agreed to it! Al-Ain approached us early last week wanting to buy Gyan. We turned them down flat, which suggests the club doesn't want rid of him. Overnight on Friday, a loan was agreed, thus earning £7 million and dropping Steve Bruce right in the sh*t. I'm wondering if the club accepts Gyan is unhappy with the way the team is being run (he told a Ghanaian paper it seemed disorganised and he wasn't very happy here) and also accepts that Bruce hasn't got long to go. So they get rid of an unhappy player - but not permanently. I think Gyan and the clubs negotiators are just buying time here - and both make a bob or two while they do it. Don't f*ck the lad right off Beaky - we said that about Bent and there's an awful lot of fans would give their back teeth for him back now. No sense in shooting yourself in the foot. I think Bruce's days are numbered - and it's known inside the club. Let's play it cool and see how this pans out.
