He's one of a whole list of foreign players to arrive on these shores and do little more than pick up ridiculous wages ... and do little for it.
The Premiership is full to the brim of these sort of parasites, and it takes a chairman to bite his tongue when trying to off-load them.
Mido switched clubs when joining West Ham on loan for the remainder of the season, but we still have him on our books for another 18 months.
The Egypt international spent the first half of the season on loan to Egyptian side Zamalek, and it what he does best ... make an arse of himself and get dropped.
West Ham claim they are only paying him £1,000 per week ... but as we reported yesterday, it is obvious Boro are still lining his pockets.
It's a sad affair, and one we cannot shake off.
In an ideal world - Mido will set the Premiership alight and the Hammers will take him off our hands in the summer.
But, YOU know as well as I do - 'Fat Boy' will be lucky to get a crack at the first team at Upton Park because he will have to impress in the Hammers reserve side first.
