Aliadiere wants Mido to stay at Boro

JEREMIE Aliadiere has pleaded with Mido not to quit Middlesbrough.
Boro’s unsettled £6m forward has been strongly linked with a season-long loan move to Wigan Athletic after failing to earn a place despite his goal-a-game start to the campaign.
Reports in his native Egypt suggested the former Spurs star would welcome a move to link up with Steve Bruce at the JJB Stadium, but the 25- year-old reiterated his commitment to the cause after clear-the-air talks with manager Gareth Southgate.


Mido’s three-goal haul could earn him a recall at home to Stoke City tomorrow, and Aliadiere has told his team-mate to shelve any plans he may have to call time on his 12-month Boro career to help the club’s bid to secure a top 10 finish this season.
The Frenchman said: “It depends on the player how he reacts to not being in the side, but you’ve got stiff competition for places at every big club, especially up front, and it’s no different here.
“I’d love Mido to stay because he’s a quality player and he’s shown that by scoring three goals already this season. We need players like him at the club and I’d be disappointed if he left but it’s his decision and also the manager’s.”
Mido, who is also interesting his former Spurs boss Martin Jol, now in charge at German Bundesliga side Hamburg, has already racked up eight clubs in his short career.

Boss: Stability Is What Mido Needs Now

TOP gun Mido can be part of something special if he lays down roots with Boro, says boss Gareth Southgate.
Although he is still just 25, the Egyptian striker has played for eight clubs in seven different countries since making his debut in his homeland in the 1999/2000 season.
After an injury-ravaged first season on Teesside he has started the current campaign in blistering form, with the help of a tough summer training regime, and he currently sits joint top of the scoring charts alongside Villa's Gabriel Agbonlahor.
And despite reports that he is unhappy with a lack of first team starts, Southgate believes stability is what Mido needs more than yet another move.
"It's time he had a more settled period in his career and was at a club for a bit longer and if that period takes us where I think it can, I think he will enjoy it," he said.

"His attitude to not starting at the moment has been first class. He's had a big impact for us from the bench and he's pushing hard to be in the starting line-up.
"I've said to him, I want him to be part of this football club. I understand that he wants to play and he will be causing me headaches in terms of selection."
So many Boro players are performing well at the moment that it's hard for Southgate to leave anyone out, but the manager says that's far better than having a team that picks itself.
"At the start of the season it was easy because Mido hadn't played pre-season matches," he explained. "But I don't want it to be easy - we had that last season. "If we want to be competitive as a team, not just this month but in November, December and January, we need that strength in depth. He knows how I feel about him and what I want from him.

"He enjoys it here but he wants to play regularly. I work with him and all the players and I think the reason he joined us is because he believes in what we're trying to do and he can play a big part in that. "He's a big crowd favourite, despite all the problems he had last season, because he's a good footballer."
Mido has had spells with Zamalek, Gent, Ajax, Celta Vigo, Marseille and Roma but his style has proved ideally suited for the Premier League and he played more games during a successful loan spell at Spurs than for any of his previous clubs.
His tally of three goals from three games in a week-and-a-half has already equalled his total during the whole of last season.Asked whether Mido owes Southgate a debt after making just eight starts and four substitute appearances during that first season, the manager said: "It's not a case of doing it for me, players owe it to themselves. "He has a talent and we want all our players to fulfil the talent they have and I think he can do that with us."

But with Afonso Alves (above), Tuncay and Jeremie Aliadiere also looking highly impressive, nobody is guaranteed a starting place - including Mido. "We know what he's got and all the forward players we've got have different attributes and assets," said Southgate."During the game on Saturday Mido showed he has physical power and the ability to win headers, which is something our other strikers don't have. "We've got the four strikers from last season plus Marvin, who can play up front, and the way we're playing now we could also put Adam Johnson or Stewart Downing into that area.
"It gives us options to pick the team according to who we're playing against."

Southgate warns Wigan to keep hands off Mido


GARETH SOUTHGATE has issued Wigan with a hands-off warning over Mido.
The Egyptian claims the Latics want him on loan and is seeking assurances from the Boro boss over his chances of regular first-team football.
But after Mido scored his second goal of the season from just two substitute appearances, Southgate - asked if Wigan could forget about any move for the striker - said: “Yeah, no one from Wigan has spoken to me.
“Mido’s the sort of lad who wants to play regularly but I said to him a couple of weeks ago that I believe he will play football with us.
“He’s shown how important he can be for us in these last two weeks, he’s a good footballer and a goalscorer, his record throughout his career has been excellent.
“He’s giving himself every chance of a starting position.”
Southgate has all but given up on landing James Harper from Reading, with talk on the Continent of a renewed bid for Heerenveen’s US midfielder Michael Bradley.
Meanwhile, former Boro starlet Lee Cattermole, who did join Wigan, has revealed: “It was sad to say goodbye to the lads and everyone there, but sometimes you have to make big decisions like this.
“I made the decision to move on, and I take with me some very happy memories of my years at Middlesbrough.”

Mido: 'I think Berbatov is looking for a move'

For 12 months, Mido has barely been able to kick a football. On Saturday night, fitness and optimism restored, he could not resist sticking the boot into his old club.
'I don't think Berbatov’s head is there anymore,' he said. 'It is not with
Spurs and I think he is looking for a move.
'I think he is a very important player for the club. You can see Spurs without Berbatov are a different team. Without Keane as well they are a different team.
'They are huge players. It will be very difficult to replace Berbatov. He is a class player. He is not affected by anything around him. It was the same with Keano. He is one of the best players I have ever played with. Losing them I think will be difficult for Spurs.'
It is a pertinent point amid the huge optimism that has followed Juande Ramos’ £46million summer spending. To lose both Keane and Berbatov in one summer would be managerial naïvety, especially given Darren Bent’s insipid showing at the Riverside Stadium.

Mido Predicts Positive Season Ahead

MIDO believes with a full pre-season under his belt, he can hit top form and show the fans his true ability come the start of the season.
The Egyptian striker missed the opening pre-season fixture at York while visa issues prevented his trip to the Algarve, but after overcoming a brief injury setback he feels on his way to full fitness.
"I have never had a good pre-season build-up and done badly in the season, so hopefully this season will be just the same," he said.
"The fans will see a different player this season and with games I will reach my top form. With games I think I will get to the top of my form, especially with fitness and that's what I need."
A first-half at Carlisle on last Tuesday and a shade over an hour against Hibs went some way to help the comeback from an operation that was followed by a hard summer of intense fitness work in his native country.
"I worked with Nick Allamby in Egypt, he's a great lad and he was working hard with me.
"It's been a long time for me without games and as I said it was important to get myself going again and minutes have helped me do that.
"For me it was important to get my legs going again and I'm very happy with my condition."
The £6m signing from Spurs a year ago explained his frustrations at the way his first campaign on Teesside unfolded.
"I wasn't happy with last season, I just wanted to get on with this season and we've done everything right now.
"The operation issues feel much better, my legs feel much better and if you watch the game you will see that I even look a lot better this season."
Mido is adamant those who watch him play will see a notable difference in his performance, not to mention his hairstyle.
"Now when you see me play you can see the difference between now and last season.
"I haven't had a haircut yet! I've been unlucky with my last haircut as every time I shave my head I have a bad season."

Injured Mido on a mission to face his old employers as Middlesbrough get ready to entertain Spurs

Middlesbrough striker Mido is fighting to be fit to play against his former club Tottenham in Saturday's Premier League opener.
New captain Emanuel Pogatetz and midfielder Gary O'Neil have also added to Boro manager Gareth Southgate's woes in the final week of the close season.
Egypt international Mido pulled out of his side's 6-1 demolition of Sparta Rotterdam on Friday with a knock and after missing the club's pre-season tour to Portugal is a major doubt to start at the Riverside this weekend.
Boro, who have turned down an inquiry from SV Hamburg for 25-year-old Mido, have several injury worries.
O'Neil is a doubt with a calf injury and Pogatetz was due to step up his training today (Monday) after recovering from a knee problem.
Southgate meanwhile is pushing Arsenal for a quick decision on his £3million bid for defender Justin Hoyte.
The Boro boss wants the right-back in his line-up against Spurs after selling Luke Young to Aston Villa for £5.5m.
Scout David Mills travelled to watch the defender play the full 90 minutes for Arsenal in their 1-1 draw with Sevilla in Amsterdam on Saturday.
