Burnley boss Brian Laws has taken a swipe at the commitment level of new West Ham United signing Mido.
Mido signed for the struggling Hammers on Monday and is set to make his debut against Laws's Clarets tomorrow.
It's the third time in 12 months Mido has been sent on loan from Middlesbrough following spells at Wigan and Egyptian side Zamalek.
Laws reckons Mido lacks the hunger required to help save the club from relegation.
He said: "No disrespect, but is a Mido going to come here and work as hard as these players?
"That is the mentality we have. We may not have the class of the top teams, but if we haven't got that, we have got to work hard - harder than the opposition.
“There is a merry-go-round of transfers in these windows, but you see a lot of them where they have happily gone wherever but they don't have that commitment to be there.
"They are just being shoved around all over the place. I have got to have players here who are committed to the cause.
“They know exactly what is at stake and exactly what is needed. And I make sure they know about that before they come. If it frightens them off, good luck."
