On the wing, though. And yes, I was one of several who thought he might do a good job on Fabregas, but in the end I take the view that Jol (and Ramos) know about a bazillion times more than I do about team selection.
I appreciate what you're saying, USA, and as you know I was always one of Ghaly's and Mido's biggest supporters, and, yes, we've had selective and downright misleading translations of what both have said on Egyptian TV. And there were a lot of people claiming Ghaly was never booed that night until he threw the shirt, which is, frankly, bollocks. I wasn't there, but the catcalls, etc, were clearly audible on the radio commentary. But he's never really come out and made the full public apology that would have made it possible for him to have made a comeback, and that, in the end, is the problem.
