Al Ahram Monday, 08 August 2011 Queen Park Rangers show interest in Ahly’s Fathy Egyptian champions, Ahly may lean towards recuperating Seddik from Ismaily if their right winger, Fathy, decides to battle in England with the QP RangersEslam Omar, Monday 8 Aug 2011 Ahly’s right winger, Ahmed Fathy is set to meet his team's director Sayed Abdel-Hafiz to discuss English side Queens Park Rangers’ offer.“The British club contacted me, showing interest to take Fathy on during the transfer window,” the player’s agent told Ahram Online. The Red Devils are expected to hold onto the talented footballer and sources in the club insist that “Portuguese coach Manuel Jose will not let him go.” In case the 26-year-old former Sheffield United back insists to return to the English Premier League, the Egyptian Champions are likely to replace him with their former player, Ahmed Seddik, who currently plays with Ismaily. Former Ismaily defender, Fathy, has 107 caps with the Cairo-giants since he joined in 2007. He is a key player in the Egyptian National team, the Pharaohs, assisting in claiming the African Cup of Nations triple (2006, 2008 and 2010). Founded in 1882, Queens Park Rangers claimed the title in the League Championship, returning to the Premier League next season after 15 years of absence. english.ahram.org.eg/~/NewsContent/6/53/18329/Sports/Talents-Abroad/English-Queen-Park-Rangers-show-interest-in-Ahly%E2%80%99s.aspx

If we buy him, does that mean the Egyptians are involved in 'pyramid selling'? And if they say he's not for sale are they in 'de-nile'. (Oh, please yourself!!!!!)

And ... Paul Warburton/Fulham Chronicle QPR eye Egyptian star QPR are lining up a move for Egyptian international Ahmed Fathy. The 26-year-old signed for Neil Warnock and Sheffield United in 2007 at the tail end of the manager’s time there. Fathy, who can play at right-back or in midfield, failed to cut it in the Premier League and soon returned home to end up at champions Al-Ahly. But after being named in the African Cup of Nations team of the tournament last year, the Rs boss thinks it can work second time around. He said: “If I can also get another defender, preferably on the left side, it can only be good. I’m optimistic that investment coming into the club will happen before the transfer window closes, and that might make a massive difference to us.” www.fulhamchronicle.co.uk/london-sport/london-qpr/2011/08/10/qpr-eye-egyptian-star-82029-29211662/#ixzz1UcjQ8CM5
