Abu Dhabi just like Dubai and Qatar are trying to start relying more on anything but oil, because they realize its not going to stay forever, this is not new tho, it have been happening for around a decade now in the region. We see Dubai’s government investing in different kind of industries from time to time, in addition of providing an open market on their land.
Abu Dhabi has bought what is thought to be 8.1% of AMD (Advanced Micro Devices), the price lies between $550 million and $700 million. The organization who actually made the purchase is Mubadala Development, which is a government funded organization.
Al Ahly rock in the backline was loaned to Alseleya Club in Qatar, the defender will be playing for them from January 2008 to the end of the season. Although Al-Ahly havent announced any information on the price, but it has been known that the club offered 180 thousand dollars to loan the player.
To be honest as an Ahly fan i just don’t understand what the board is trying to achieve this season, or actually are they trying to achieve anything. Selling Mohammed Shawqy earlier this season to Middlesbrough in the english league and now loaning Gom3a to Alseleyea. These are big mistakes everybody knows that Al-Ahly has suffered from selling their star defensive midfielder and now loaning their only real rock in the backline.
My Advice to Al-Ahly board is one thing, go buy players, we need at least 3 new players and you know it, we need a striker and a defensive midfielder and an attacking midfielder. Abu treka had enough already, the man is overloaded, we always expect him to be 100% ready in each and every freakin match. He is not a machine you know he is a human and the day will come when he just wont be able to take it anymore. And that day is not at all far.
Al-Ahly board, spend from some of the profits you got, you have the money, stop being greedy and buy new player before its too late.
