CAIRO: Ahly goalkeeping coach Ahmed Nagi denied reports suggesting that Amir Abdel-Hamid has been put on the transfer list.
Amir is going nowhere; all what has been said about his departure is groundless, Nagi told FilGoal.com. He s a great keeper and we need him with us.
The 30-year-old, who became Ahly s regular goalie for a while after Essam Al-Hadari s notorious move to Sion, took incessant swipes for his recurring blunders throughout the first half of last season.
On the other hand, Ramzi Saleh has been regularly standing between the sticks for the past few months, and was by far more consistent than Abdel-Hamid.
On why Ahly failed to sign Sherif Ekrami, Nagi said: It would have been a good signing, but the deal fell through after both parties couldn t reach and an agreement.
Former Feyenoord keeper Ekrami has signed recently for Gouna, before turning down Ahly s below-par offer.
