Linked with Mahmoud Saber

[Jose Calypso]

EGYPTIAN winger Mahmoud Saber has claimed that he has been approached by Rangers over a potential move to Ibrox this summer - but warned that the Glasgow giants face stiff competition for his signature.

The highly-rated 18-year-old - dubbed by some as the new Mohamed Salah - has ran down his contract with Al-Ahly in his homeland, opening the door for a move to Europe.

Saber is now free to speak to other clubs about the possibilty of a move and recently claimed that Rangers, Valencia and Benfica are among the clubs to have approached him.


He told the Daily Record: "Because I have never signed a professional contract with Al-Ahly, I am deemed an amateur player and can sign for a new club for nothing.

"I have offers from Rangers in Scotland, Valencia in Spain and Benfica from Portugal as well as a big club in Tunisia. I will make my decision soon.

"I have European agents sorting my future and I hope to be in a position to sign for my new club shortly."

Was a thread on it yesterday.

Probably shite.

 

[Hal B. Goode]

Sounds like agent trying to drum up interest.

 

[Bryanmc]

A lot of nonsense

 

[JimForrest]

We don’t need any more wingers we’ve got about 8 already

 

[mark hateley]

Unless hes a midfielder who can go box to box we probably dont need any more options.

 

[d72]

If hes very highly rated and we feel we can get him I don't see why having the likes of Barker on the books should stand in the way of that.

Same but I'm always dubious when a player or his agent is touting themselves saying x, y and z are interested. It appears to be no more than window dressing and the way we go about business nowadays doesn't suggest we allow potential targets with a permission slip to go and yell it from the roof tops.

 

[Coplandbear]

Sounds similar to Bongani Zungu it would appear our club is being used as bait to up the interest in these type of players it's happening more and more atm.

 

[billytheflid]

He looks a bit light for this league. Boom Boom.

 

[Tugay83]

Sounds like agent trying to drum up interest.

Yep. Very difficult to get work permits for players who haven't got international caps.

Aye and six of them ain’t very good!

 

[OZ1872]

I smell shite

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

An Egyptian winger with initials MS? I know we're trying to play like Liverpool but this would be taking the piss.

 

[HamiltonBear]

Well seeing as we are in for a winger why not round the week off and get Willian? He's free after all.

 

[Aye-Ready]

Surprised if true. Heard he didn't want to leave his mummy

 

[alfie55]

Seems like nonsense, trying to drum up interest in himself.

 

[Hurleyreyes]

It's always the new superstar from ever country.

But if he comes to us I will chose to believe he is the new Salah!!

 

[TPB90]

When I read he was Egyptian I just knew a "new Salah" comment was coming

 

[Johnny Yen]

I can see big Saber rattling them in.

 

[Johnny Quid]

It's always the new superstar from ever country.

But if he comes to us I will chose to believe he is the new Salah!!

Remember when we signed Mdlanovich (so) he was the next Zidane

 

[honeycandyapples]

Surprised if true. Heard he didn't want to leave his mummy

Thats pharaoh nuff

 

[Ataturk]

has ran down his contract

’Has ran’? He has run down his contract, surely?

 

[Aye-Ready]

Thats pharaoh nuff

Boy needs to give himself a sheikh

 

[ibroxbound]

We should set up a pyramid scheme to buy him.

 

[Aye-Ready]

We should set up a pyramid scheme to buy him.

As long as his agent doesn't sell us down the river

 

[Laudrup11ch]

im sure he will have the power to 'strike' them in and it is his 'destiny'

 

[gordon_blue]

Mahmoud's a bear did you say?

 

[Faure there’s not a team]

Mo Saber, Mo Saber, running down the wing...

 

[Ter]

He can play right back as well

 

[Gers4life]

At 18 it wouldn’t be that surprising if he’s been given an offer to start off in our youth team and see how he develops

 

[JCDarcheville]

We don’t need any more wingers we’ve got about 8 already

We have one winger competent of playing in the first 11.

We need better than Barker, Jones, Murphy, Stewart.

Hagi is not a winger although he can operate from a wide starting position.

Yes we have numbers in the forward areas but we don’t have real options that can come off the bench and make an impact. if anything was to happen to a Kent we’d seriously feel it.

 

[Balogun1]

I can see big Saber rattling them in.

He would be the perfect foil for Morelos.

 

[Sam English]

' A big club in Tunisia' ?

 

[Renoranger]

Once any player is dubbed " the new__________hero from that country, avoid at all costs.
