It is understood that Mido wants a £2m-ayear package and Ghaly £1.5m, with Birmingham so far unwilling to match their demands.

Talking terms: Mido

Mido was back in training at Spurs yesterday and the pair will remain at the north London club until a final decision on the move within the next 24 hours.

"I sat down with Birmingham to discuss the contract and I totally rejected some clauses," said Mido.

"Ghaly's situation is like mine. His negotiations with the club have stalled for the same reasons.

"I don't know what will happen next. I won't go to Birmingham unless these clauses are changed."

If talks collapse it would be a bitter blow for Birmingham manager Steve Bruce, who was under the impression that personal terms would be a formality and has been left in limbo while managing director Karren Brady attempts to break the deadlock.
