The xasapi and the cripple. Eleos. You were, without a doubt, one of the people calling Cisse a sapaki one month into his first season. No doubt about that. It's August. Relax. Eisai toso ypervolikos merikes fores. Sanchez has played like 45 mins in a PAO jersey. I'm not saying he's an all world CB but he isn't s%$#!. Everyone wants the team to start the season rolling on all cylinders. It doesn't really happen like that, especially when you have so many new faces. As for Abeid, I think last year showed how big of a loss he was to the midfield. He's young, he's performed in this system and with the majority of these players, and he plays in a position of desperate need. He's a big pickup for PAO and we should be thankful he will be wearing the jersey until 2018.

Freezer stop man... Just stop... @PaOBoston, I don't remember about Cisse, but I distinctly remember him criticizing the Gilberto Silva signature.. He was criticizing the move cause he felt PAO should of gone for an attacking midfielder... This despite Silva being captain of Brazil and coming off first team duties with Arsenal!!! MIZEROS in every sense of the word.. And as we all saw, the invisible wall was worth every penny..

Stoch signed with Bourdelaspor. Haven't really heard any other names for us besides Toivonen for a striker. Right now, I'd take a class, experienced defender over a striker though.

Personally, I would prefer if AEK were marketing the stuff and any money we spend would go into our team's coffers.

I think that penalty miss from Kace might come back to haunt you.

Regardless he's a quality addition to the midfield and the creative player that was missing.

West Roxbury:

Why would Costa ever go along with that? Unless he gets something along the lines of, an extra year added or something?

Like how you cover yourself at the end there Doxa! ;)

it is beyond ridiculous for anyone to assume PAO would not want to play in Europa League group stages to concentrate on GSL .. If PAO's squad is 'too thin' to play 6 mid week games between September and Christmas, then the squad is 'too thin ' to win the GSL..

With him and Essien the middle will be much much better

BVB won it eventually versus Odd Grenland. Seems it was an astonishing match. The Norwegian team scored in the first minute, after 22 minutes they were down with three goals, but Dortmund scored three times in the second half, and won by one goal (3-4). Sokratis was in the first half (when the enemy goals occurred) on the bench, during the break he replaced Castro (the right back). After he came on, they didnt concede a single goal in the 2nd half and eventually won.

I bet you said Barales was trash before you'd ever see him play aswell ;)
