Chris Tsamados Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) He can sign for a club until September 11. Are you sure about this? I did a bit of googling and it says that free agents can be signed out of the Transfer Window: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6971785.stm BTW Samaras has found a team the Best Free Transfer XI http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11096/9984418/best-free-transfer-xi-featuring-ron-vlaar-wilson-palacios-carlton-cole-and-more Edited September 10, 2015 by Chris Tsamados Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akritis_1944 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Tomorrow is the dead line for UEFA transfers of free agents. The next window is January 1 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MykinesFC Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Am I correct in understanding that if he doesn't find a team by the 11th then he has to wait until January to sign with a European club? Are non-European clubs able to sign free agents any time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFI-mtl Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Has anyone ever ad a worst 12 months than this guy..especially after his World Cup performance...would love to see him at AEK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akritis_1944 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 There was talk of Mexican clubs interested so in theory he can go to another league outside of Europe which will have different rules on transfers and windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tsamados Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 He can sign to a club after the deadline but the club have to have extenuating circumstances to be able to register him to play. If these aren't granted he can't play for the club until the next transfer window opens. http://blog.fieldoo.com/2014/09/can-you-get-a-club-if-the-transfer-window-is-closed/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Where did this love fest for the guy come from? It's been ages since he's been worth talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meoleole Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 so sad to see how his career has just dropped. I strongly believed he was a step from being an well rounded elite player. is he married? did his wife screw his head or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Recently married (and divorced I think?) to Foureira. Samaras has had a long line of top-grade WAGs. I think another poster noted that his grandfather died after the cup, which may have affected him pretty seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akritis_1944 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Ronaldo looks somber and reflective. Like he just finished a wank but after climaxing he now regrets it. Anyway, "No Team" suits Georgie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pash Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 ^ Ronaldo is a great example. Messi may have more talent, but Ronaldo's physically on another planet. It's very obvious that he works at this (as if the many stories and reports didn't make that clear). But Sammy has nice hair tho 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MykinesFC Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I think this story is over, great potential, no hard work etc we get it, it's done. Not sure why we are still making cute quips about someone who is likely done at anything to do with top level soccer. Since this is now a past tense story here is a clip of his 13(!) European goals for Celtic. I was surprised that many are target man goals - something we didn't see much of in the NT. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=99eJFr_PETQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akritis_1944 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Yes a real league. Not some substandard competition in the Middle East or the NASL or the Australian A-League. Come back to Greece. He won't do it because he's been used to the weak Scottish League and he wouldn't want to be shown up by a Platanias or Panionios. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgelaz Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 he would be great for AEK right now. I remember watching a video where I believe his father told him to never play in the Greek league. So he has a stigma against it. But honestly dude, Saudi Arabia and not AEK? Let's be real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekoz Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I'd like to see him somewhere in Greece. If it has to be one of the crap leagues outside Europe the mls would have been a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbxk508 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 This whole thing with Sammy kind reminds me of this scene. ... make a comeback. Go into the mountains of Herakilon Crete and train it up, like you never have. Just have another crack at the top level. Once retired, you stay retired a long time. Do it for yourself, no excuses, no regrets 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MykinesFC Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 ^^^ that would be nice. I used to be one of the people who thought he got a tough time around here, but as an earlier poster correctly noted the lack of application has caught up with him. He's certainly had some career high points (how many and how important is a matter of 60 odd pages of discussion here) but an elite athlete shouldn't be failing a medical for a Serie A club at the age of 30. A five minute search on Instagram shows a guy who seems to be hanging out in NYC posing for pictures at events with the Omogenia - not a guy who is training his ass off to get fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeko Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 He should of just stayed at Celtic! He has wasted himself, sammy has bags of ability but he's a confidence player and he struggles when the chips are down! Sums up Greek football I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MykinesFC Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Interesting about Frosinone. Hopefully if it works out I'll take it all back about him being washed up at 30. :-) Come back Sami, your mazy runs up the left side that usually end up going nowhere are better than all the side passing and no running we now have on the NT. At least you are willing to take on defenders and sometimes those runs end up in a killer through ball that sets up a chance. Now some Twitter talk about Barcelona interest. All nonsense of course but what a difference a day makes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
