Happy Face 29 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I wonder if Mohamed Aboutrika is interested in a big pay day. Nominated again this year. How come he's still not in Europe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 721 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I wonder if Mohamed Aboutrika is interested in a big pay day. Nominated again this year. How come he's still not in Europe? Canny, canny player. Maybe with Zaki's relative success he'll consider a move to England. Egyptians haven't exactly flourished in the Premier League though. Mido isn't exactly a world-beater and Ghaly/Fathi were both flops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
