No Running = No Deal For Ghaly

From the 'totally-unsubstantiated-probably-not-true- at-all' file comes this rumour about the collapse of Spurs midfielder Hossam Ghaly's move to Birmingham City :

Apparently, Ghaly was training with his soon-to-be new team mates and refused to run during an endurance session, saying "We don't do running at Tottenham".

Steve Bruce allegedly replied (and this is priceless) "Don't you mean Tottenham reserves?".

The upshot of all this is that Bruce didn't like Ghaly's attitude and backed out of the deal.

All good stuff and we need more completely unsubstantiated rumours on this Premiership football blog.
