St Marco Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 Was at the game and noticed up in the royal box was a guy being shown around by one of those guys with the green blazer on. Could not get a picture of him but was a big dude who sort of looked abit like ade adebayor and had a creamy kinda couloured suit on. He was there for the first half then vanished. Was this Jhadi or however it is spelt or just some guy totally un-related to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 25 August, 2009 Author Share Posted 25 August, 2009 Yep was that guy. Was being shown around as i said by the guy in the Green Blazer. I have no idea who that guy was but he signed some autographs just before the game at the players tunnel.

Maybe we've been working hard on the work permit behind the scenes? TBF pard's never said ''it was completely off' - all he said ''it's getting away from us a bit now...'' - then it went silent.

Well my memory is pretty fuzzy about the clothes, might have been a white shirt, orange shirt etc.. but im now 99.9% was him. Mainly because it was like 3 rows from me. He was shaking a lot of peoples hands in that first row up there then eventually sat down. As i said hopefully someone who was around where i was took a pic.

krissyboy31 Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 Just a thought. If it was Jaidi, he may just have been there because he was training with us and we were playing against his most recent team, not because he's going to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another goodbit of business from pardew. on a negative, brian gunn was there too!! why I do not know? I posted on the other thread I met McLeish up at Old Trafford the other week when he was attending a managers meeting - he spent ages having a chat and posed for a great picture with my nipper. I asked him about Jaidi and his first words were he was signing for us. He told me he still needed him but his legs were not up to the Prem anymore - there guy at the back tonight was immense so cant see they need him as much as us ;-) Fingers crossed he will sign and not just taking in a game of his old team.

Where did you hear that he played for them? He didn't play in Tunisia's last game against the Ivory Coast which was the 12th August. He wasn't even in the squad. http://www.cafonline.com/competition/african-cup-of-nations-angola_2010/news/3160-tunisia-squad-for-ivory-coast-friendly.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Sinner Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 i didnt know if he played or not, just heard from someone!! glad you do your homework!! Aparently work permit issues sorted out he was there with his wife & family and he was being looked after by an SFC employee. He wasnt sat with the birmingham directors.

St Marco Posted 25 August, 2009 Author Share Posted 25 August, 2009 He was as i said being shown around. I doubt he would be sitting in the directors box with his family if he was there to see his old team. Someone else mentioned he was training with the team so maybe he was just having his first look at the team playing a competative game? He would be a great signing for us though.

dubai_phil Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 With the bad news (pending) on Murty's injury, this could be great news if he does sign as it would allow Thomas to "cover" at Right Back (depending on how long Murty is out of course). Nowhere near his best position and I'd prefer a proper RB, but a reasonable solution allowing us to continue to fill the real gaps in the squad and it would help us out at set pieces.
