Good read so when and where is the proposed friendly ? i thought it was supposed to happen over the summer
"Oh, the big ship's sailing down the Al Ahly oh, the..." "Oh down Al Ahly, where nobody goes, All in pink all in pink she says my fingers...." I guess I'm showing my age and my childlike mentality...Carry on.
If you'll be my bodyguard I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty And Betty when you call me You can call me Al...
Fair play to Assem, hopefully we can poach a talented Egyptian kid out of this! although I can't imagine there been that many top notch egyptian players
And if I'm called away and it's my turn to go Should the blood run cold in my veins Just one favor I'll be asking you Don't bury me here, it's too cold Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Al Ahly where I started from Take me back, won't you carry me home Down to Gasoline Al Ahly where I started from
Haha, the main point of attraction from a City fan's perspective, aside from the friendly (no date given yet, should be soon though), is the fact that top Egyptian gems could undergo trials at the KC. Good opportunity to inject some Egyptian talent in the academy. It also creates a major marketing opportunity in Egypt!
As long as it's no great burden on the fixture schedule, it should only be to our benefit. It can certainly do no harm. Do you reckon they'll bring a few fans over?
Definitely. There's also plenty of Ahly fans in the UK. Basically every-other Egyptian is an Ahly fan.
Great news. It increases our international profile and hopefully our revenue. Also having a second feeder club, to go with our Manchester one, will also be a benefit. Definitely a win win situation.
And within 1 min I find a post from you that actually makes sense! Gotta love these forums. 100% agree, another couple of Elmo's would be fab.
Knees up Mother Brown, Knees up Mother Brown, Ee aye ee aye ee aye oh, up the football league we go, If I catch you ****ing, I'll saw your legs right off.................
This sounds a good situation, there are quite a few talented Egypt players, and getting some of the up and coming players to see, can be only a good situation.+
