Normally, I wouldn't respond to this as there are very few intellectual points to take away from this message but its slow in the office so I'll go ahead....
First off, when you are trying to make a rebuttal to an argument... personal attacks diminish the strength of your argument....
Second, by Manias "banging goals in Belgium" you mean 1 goal.... then I guess everyone who has scored any goal is a superstar.....
Third, a player's performance is not only judged on his own individual abilities but his supporting staff as well.. If the rest of the product is good, then that player will also tend to play better as he will have better service, better coverage, better direction, better support
Hence why some players leave Greece and play much better where teams are better organized... and other players who have set leagues on fire come to Greece and fail to produce b/c the support is lacking
Fourth, their academies are somethign to be admired... they import (not "importanting") talents from all over the world and put them through rigors of becoming a pro footballer... most fail but the select few that actually make it have a good chance to make some sort of impact on the professional scale.... their track record speaks VOLUMES in and of itself... Just look at the "golden generation" of their national team
Fifth, since your so excited to oust Alafouzo... I hope you have big/deep pockets to pick up the slack....
