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.
