Ahmed Fathi set to join Egyptian teammate Gedo at Hull City
Ahmed Fathi is set to join fellow Egyptian international Gedo at Hull City, the Mail understands.
The Tigers are closing in on six-month loans deals for the Al Ahly pair.
-

Versatile: Egypt's Ahmed Fathi tackles England's Wayne Rooney.
Work permits and paperwork are still to be completed.
As reported this morning, talks over bringing Gedo to England have advanced over the past week, as attempts to bring in QPR hit-man DJ Campbell have hit problems.

Steve Bruce has been tracking the striker - a former winner of the golden boot in the African Cup of Nations - throughout the transfer window.
However, a move for right-midfielder Fathi has seemed unlikely until now.
But the versatile 28-year-old - who can also play in defence - could be a viable alternative to Ahmed Elmohamady, who looks set to stay at Sunderland for now.
Fathi, who has played 91 times for Egypt, signed a three-and-a-half year deal with Sheffield United in 2007. He made just three appearances before returning to Egypt.
• Sky Sports is reporting City have had a bid turned down for Wolves' Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.

“No problem with Merlin (we have swopped banter for years, long before you came on the scene), Jack or Strummer; ask them. I offered the olive branch and Strummer took it with the style I had hoped for; unfortunately you are simply too bitter to accept it and move forward. Stop making things up and exaggerating your innocence, this is the internet and folk inevitably cross swords to some degree and that includes you, as seen on here from time to time. Have you yet grasped the fundamental difference between the HDM and NOT606, it was a relevant and simple point I made, no need for all this blather? Remember, read back if need be, I simply made a post in the context of the thread containing yours and others comments (the purpose of the posting function), I deliberately did not refer to you, as I did not wish to go down this boring route with you again, I was not seeking a conversation with you, just as I would not in a pub, that has been your choice and making. End of conversation; if you wish to share the threads in a more intelligent and cordial manner then the olive branch is still there, its a better way for the sanity of everyone.”

“There you go again Alan TF as you always do....
I have not said one thing to you on this site for months...
AND your back ranting and raving like a mental patient.
If you bothered to read my posts i have said many times what i post is just WHAT i have heard or read on twitter and various websites...
i think everyone realises this....
Alot of people dont use twitter or other footy sites so i get the impression people like to pick up whats been said...the latest rumour...the latest story etc
NOT ONE PERSON on here has a problem with me..
BUT ITS ALLWAYS YOU ISNT IT ?
Whats new..
Only pathetic person on here is you...
its you who had the problem with merlin...and jack...and strummer...etc..
this sites been ok without you and your stinking attitude...
I feel sorry for you....i really do....i doubt if you have any real friends with your attitude to people.
ANYWAY.....like i said i dont care what you think of me.....YOUR NOT IMPORTANT...
================================
Latest rumours ...
Korens agent says Robbie Koren is going no where.....
And people are tweeting that we are looking at Kevin Philips...
no idea if thats true...
DJ Campbell / Gedo and Fathi news expected from the KC Stadium anytime now..”

“Scarb - I don't know what is wrong with you, as you seem to be intent on picking fights on-line; frankly it's pathetic, as it was a childish response. I offered you an olive branch and you have thrown it back, which is a shame, but realistically sums you up. Just be careful you don't start romancing again, as you seem to get carried away when blowing your own trumpet.
Many and I do mean many folk who use this and NOT606 are able to follow Twitter and various rumour mills on-line – it will be a contributory factor to why the number of decent posters has dropped off dramatically on the HDM, as NOT606 is more of a community based website with recognition and self-generated discussions; posters who keep ranting about the same thing endlessly with one post after another are probably another reason why the HDM suffers. Many of us have discussed DJC for a couple of weeks now and the Egyptian link has been widely promoted by their club, who clearly want the deal and are constantly in the press about it – look back and you will see nothing from our owners. What we do know is that rumours can gather pace and become reality and just as quickly disappear with most of the rest of the rumours.
The only thing of significance that you have done is re-tweet, repeat other's posts and do multiple posts about what we (or most of us) already know and have read from original sources (the same ones you read); we don't all have that sort of time or inclination to follow your (that's the correct use of your, by the way) example. There are some who do have some form of insider information but you are definitely not one of them; you simply make the most noise.
Live and let live Scarb, but when you post as prolifically as you do then be prepared to hold reasonable debate and to take some negative criticism, even though none of posts named you personally – the cap obviously fitted!”

“Egyptian-owned Hull City, who have recently offered six-month loan deals for Al-Ahly's Ahmed Fathi and Mohamed Nagy 'Gedo', could see the duo sign for the Tigers during the current winter transfer window after Ahly coach Hossam El-Badry hinted that he might accept their departures.

“YOUR AT IT AGAIN ARE YOU ALAN TF ...ONLY CHILDISH PERSON ON HERE IS YOU.
argue with yourself ok...
=======================================================================
Well it appears what i have been posting all week on here and part of last week was 100% correct as other posters know.
Gedo and fathi is a done deal.
and Campbell is almost a done deal.
Great news for the club and lets hope elmo will end up back here as soon as possible...
