Recommended Posts

i am hoping this player does not continue at levekusen.. he was their substitute..

why would he be a substitute after coming the bundesligas top scorer in the previous season??

he also had a 4-5 game spell at leverkusen and scored in everygame.. ad assisted in goals..

leave gekas..!! your too good.. any rumours about gekas?? is he staying? is he leaving?? any offers??

He also "set up" the last goal. He chipped the ball onto goal that was saved on the line but one of the other fowards got the rebound in scored. Hes on Bayer Leverkusans home page a big picture of him. So he scored the equaliser in over time and helped set up the winning goal in over time. Good start for the first game of the season.

Gekas is red hot form again. Where was this form during the euro??

Btw did he start this game?

what are you kidding???!

Im sorry, but the criticsm of Gkekas in the Euro was totally outrageous. Not saying you paxioti Im saying other people in general...totally make stupid claims and critiscms of Gkekas that make simply no sense, hes the only real striker Greece has - finishes, makes good runs, great in the air, and doesnt get pushed around and has a nose for goal.

Gkekas played less than 75 mins that whole tournament. Not only was he taken off at halftime (as if he was somehow responsible) vs Sweden, while the team was passing back and forth for 45 mins and hitting no more than an occasional long ball not even Drogba would do anything that game for us.

The Russia game, the guy came on as a sub ran his ass of and even made tackles and helping out in the back, not to mention his ONSIDE run was what pretty much got us the equalizer, that "didnt count". Its not like Katsouranis and Basinas did anything to showcase their attackers abilities, not even so much as a decent pass or helping run from them.

People also seemed to come to the conclusion that he was "benched" all year with Levekusen, which is total bull too, if anybody cared to look at statistics - not starting 10/10 games doesnt make you a bench player...

He wasnt poor at the euros

But Gekas is normally lighting it up. The whole team was bad. Im saying i expected more out of gekas since he is our best player (arguably). Your right though. That comment about the eurors i said was not very accurate. I never critisied any of the strikers during the euro. We all know we lsot cause the mid and poor tactics. All im saying is we could have for sure used this finishing at the euros. But then comes the argument, "we could have used that service from the mids at the euros".

he wasnt bad at the euros. No fowards were. You cant say a foward is bad when the midfeild is so atrocious that san marino can say that their midfeild is comparable to ours and this all star euro champ midfeild cant serve one decent pass to fowards.

Fanis Gekas scored his second of the season yesterday in the 2-0 victory of Leverkusen vs. Koln, after Leverkusen was awarded a penalty kick. He puts it away beautifully :).

Watch the highlights and his goal in specific around 4:50 in the vid:

Not sure his move from Bochum was a good one. He seems lost in the numbers and for some reason has lost the confidence of the coach. Anyone with knowledge about the Bundesliga care to comment on what is happening to him?

My concern is that he is such a key component of the NT that a loss of confidence with his club will result in subpar performances for the NT.

We all know that Gekas is allowed to leave but only in an outright transfer, loan moves are not an option. Rumours have been flying around that Olympiakos are interested, these rumours further accelerated after it was revealed that Kovacevic may never play again. However Gekas has said that he has had no offers from Olympiakos.
