  1. He should have a taken a role in China somewhere earning big dollars. Plus his record with Portugal would have stayed pristine.
  2. At least those Turkish soap operas (and yes the stories are terrible) are produced professionally. The greek shows these days look like someone stuck their fingers down their throat and barfed on a screen. The picture quality is some sort of blur from a 1980's camcorder. The sound quality sounds as if the producer was working in a small toilet. And the script usually involves people acting like baffoons screeching at the top of their voice. I know the country has its financial problems but it also had them back in '50s and '60's and we still managed to produce good classic films. Now, it's just awful.
  3. It looks like Erdogan is performing his a purge the likes of which we have not seen since I can remember. Any politicians/public servants/judges/school teachers that aren't pro religion are going to be second class citizens or worse.
  4. Curious to see how the situation with Kace unfolds. 12 months ago he was offered if I remember correctly ~500K and he was a lock for a starting position in the 11. Now ... hmmm, I'd say he could even be 3rd or 4th choice. As for Sabo, maybe he'll stay with us ? I need him as my super sub.
  5. In the long run, won't this weaken Turkey ? Sure, it will strengthen Erdogan, and he is obviously a shrewd individual, but at the end of the day getting rid of hundreds or even thousands of key personnel isn't something which strengthens a nation. It's great short term for Erdogan though. Maybe he can start appointing more of his relatives into key positions. As for this setting Turkey back in terms of the EU "project", I don't believe they ever really wanted to join, or ever really expected to be asked to join. They just want the best trading terms they can get.
  6. We were never going to hold onto Mak. That was very obvious. Our best 11 (secret pincer formation). Glykos Skondras --------> +++ <------ Leovac Konstantinidis -----> +++ <----- Tzavallas Kitsiou ---------> +++ <---- Giannoulis Matos --------> +++ <----- Korovesis Vierinha* -------> +++ <------- Lino** * The funds from the Mak transfer will be used to sign Vierinha. ** Lino to come out of retirment. +++ Space for enemy to "attack" into. Super sub: Sabo.
  7. Seriously, enough with this player. With the way this saga has been going on, I don't care if he comes or not.
  8. All things considered not a bad draw. I'd like to get some revenge for the 4-4 from some years back. Blackhawk the walking encyclopedia, I'm sure, will dig up what year it was. If I was a betting man I'd say 40% chance of progressing. Sound reasonable ? This is not the AJAX power house of old. They also don't have a young Suarez although these days I don't really know their squad. Dutch Eagle, what do you think ? What is their squad like ? What are our (realistic) chances ? Could you increase them by maybe sabotaging their dinner ? Come on, your team needs you !!!!
  9. I thought Varela was injured. Though, even if he is injured (and he can't help in the CL qualifiers) he'll still be a solid signing.
  10. If Antonis has half a brain, he'll stay in Greece and actually learn at a higher level.
  11. Ha ha. Come to Australia, we have boomerangs.
  12. How many mosques are we talking about ?
  13. We haven't had a stable coach during Savvidis "reign". Huub, Donis and Anastasiadis all lost the dressing room by the Xmas break or shortly thereafter. It will be refreshing to have a manager that can firstly stay a whole season, and possible complete a second season.
  14. The Steau president is playing hard ball and wants 2 million.
  15. Note that the following player contracts expires on 30.06.2017 :- - Glykos - Skondras - Malezas - Tzavellas - Tziolis - Kace - Mak - Pereyra I would expect that we are only interested in re-signing the highlighted players. Kace and Mak will be interesting. They aren't exactly unhappy ... but they wouldn't mind moving on either. Pereyra I have no idea. He seems happy for the moment.
  16. So, by my reckoning we have signed or will be signing shortly the players below. 4 more transfers and we'll have a new 11. Crazy town. On a side note, not sure why we signed Vellidis unless we plan on letting Glykos go at the end of the season. Brkic Matos Crespo ? ? Canas Shakhov Djalma Biseswar ? ?
  17. If he's clearly better than Glykos then it's a good transfer. Then again, Olsen was meant to be an upgrade.
  18. Well according to transfermarket he was injured most of last season. As for his signing, I can only agree with pash that they're expecting or preparing for players leaving. I'd say this is the last season for Tziolis and there is always the possibility that Kace will be sold or leave as a free agent. It's imperative we keep Cimirot. Charisis I'm hoping he stays injury free and gets lots of game time. Maybe Ivic plans on playing some games with 3 midfielders (no dekari) which may give players some more game time. Regardless, this signing has potential dud written all over it. I hope I'm wrong.
  19. Never heard of him. I'm not worried about the fact he hasn't scored. It's not what you need in a good DM. Is it a done deal ?
  20. Interested to see how Crespo and Shakhov perform. And yes, much to my surprise Pereyra is meant to be ripping it up.
