Yes he is gone, we have been linked with a few already lets hope they get someone with real quality as up front is where we lacked the most last season

Bakasetas oe oe oe big signing this one and one that will certainly help in our attack, great news to wake up to. Now for a striker re gamoto

According to many news media, Nigel Farrage is a populist, racist, fascist, arrogant dickhead! And I'm assuming all you guys that like him are pretty much aware of what he stands for, correct? Just asking. Because according to me, I agree with them that Nigel Farrage is a populist, racist, fascist, arrogant dickhead that is going to cost the UK dearly (if it's still the UK in 10 years). I'm also assuming that all you Brexiters are following the news and are celebrating the rewards that started pouring in: UK stripped of final 'AAA' rating and FTSE 350 surrenders

Welcome Bakasetas!

Looks like Bakasetas will be signing today

Australia is a team that would make it to this summer's Euros. Nothing worse than Hungary, Finland , Estonia, Cyprus. Bad thing is that both Mantalos and Fortounis usually play on the same side. We could however use Fortounis as a winger but i sort of think that this means we dont use his full potential. Fortounis starter and mantalos sub or Fortounis 10 and Mantalos 8 with another 8 in the likes of Samaris or Petsos seems nice as well. Petsos physical position is 6. But is he that good defensively to be used as a 6 or does the 8 position suit him best ? This could change pretty much everything on a 4-2-2-2 Karnezis Toro-Manolas-Sokratis-Holebas Petsos - Samaris Mantalos - Fortounis (both wide but not flankers) Mitroglou-Karelis On paper doesnt seem so bad. I know i ve defended Petsos a lot in these forums but we should/could wait to see him at Werder before judging. Yet again, a Tachtsidis and a Maniatis dont seem anything promising either. Plus I am aware that a system without wingers is not really utilizing the modern football's bonus effects, but noone likes Pelkas for a sterter yet and Fortounis seems rather slow for a winger. Karelis doesnt play winger anymore either. So who would be used in your opinion. Please, no Fetfatzidis. And why does everyone like Bakasetas and Gianniotas and Diamantakos so much as wingers. 1) 2 of them are not even wingers in their respective clubs. 2) You dont like Pelkas because he is 22 but suddently a Diamantakos aged 23, a Gianniotas aged 22 and a Bakasetas aged 22 make a semi decent season and everyone is like wow. If its about competition time, its pretty obvious when you have a fan's favorite Athanasiadis, and a budget enogh for Mak, Berbatov, Rodriguez etc, you will have to play them instead because otherwise you ve wasted a few millions on nothing. Which team aside from Olympiakos would Pelkas not be a starter ? Plus , i know i ve said it a few times as well in this forum, but watching the play-offs he is very decent at corners. Every one of them well hit exactly where needed. The need for someone fresh to hit corners and set pieces gives him a bonus. 3) Do not think of me as a fool who is basing all his hopes on a 22 year old Paoki.He is definately not that good as I make him appear, but cut the Panionios/APOEL non-winger players on winger positions cr@p. If we re gonna get a winger it would be a good idea to use a decent one and someone NON-OLYMPIAKOS-RELATED (aka his career not destroyed). This comming from someone who supports Olympiakos , but the NT is something completely unrelated to it.

cos olympiakos couldnt play olympiakos

There is no doubt the GFC has contributed to the lower budgets of clubs.. however the NT has more players playing in better leagues than ever before...not counting the number of Greek players playing in good second tier leagues like Austria/Swiss/Belgium..players that are not on the NT radar... this can only be good for NT regardless of the strength of GSL.. Interestingly OSFP, PAOK AEK have never been stronger financially... none of this impacts on the pathetic performance of NT between September 2014 and November 2015... none of this explains why countries like Slovakia with a much poorer league and poorer economy can produce attacking players like Mak, Weiss, Hamsik......we have no one good enough in the attacking third to wipe the boots of these guys..

1) there were multiple low crowds in that graph between 1991 and today.. 2) The lower attendances since 2008 can be attributed to - relegation of AEK, Aris,OFI, AEL, Iraklis. - expansion from 16-18...including the promotion of clubs with zero support...instantly impacted on lower averages. - higher than normal stadium bans - PAO moving from OAKA to leoforo. - you will notice lower crowds for 2003 when OAKA and Karaiskaki were not used 3) Anyone that knows anything about the NT will tell you there is nothing in that article to support the link between the form of NT falling between July 2014 and September 2014.. we are talking about a period of 60 days from being a kick away from a WC QF to the 0-1 loss to romania and down hill there after..
