Amr Zaki: What To Expect

Last updated : 19 January 2010 By Paul Farrington

"Zaki was a very good player to start with in his Wigan career. He started like a man on fire and couldn't stop scoring. However it seemed that teams got used to him and with all the extra defensive atttention he faded away. He looked a shade of the player that joined the club by the time he left.

"The fall out all stems from his failure to return from international duty on a number of occasions. All a storm in a tea cup really and nothing would have come out had he not lost form!

"He's a big powerful striker with a brain in his head. He'll certainly win a number of free kicks for his antics! It will be interesting to see if he can replicate the form he showed with us early on, or whether he will be a flop!" - Paul Farrington, Wiganer.net
