oh, com'on guys, just accept it's a crappy league that offers little value as entertainment or future prospects....
if YOU had lots of money, would YOU invest*? be honest...
*Sorry, I meant spend your money, because "investing" implies a possibility of turning a profit...
Pana I remember having arguments with PAO mates of mine who said we cant keep Karagounis and he's too old etc etc but what they don't realise is just having him there in the squad gives the other ones the same passion and moral he has. I know its a different class and league but United kept Scholes til his late 30s, hell they even had him come out of retirement and Giggs especially until his 40th, those guys bleed for their jersey and the things they pass down to young ones is what counts. Shame people don't see it that way anymore.
Personally, I think his ability on the field is limited given his condition of his knee and should be reserved as a bench player
However out of PURE PRINCIPLE... you HAVE TO KEEP HIM and let him finish his career here.... there's no question in my mind that is the right thing to do... Everything else is pure bullshit...
I mean.. i just read my post over again.. and I get more aggravated...
I think you guys should take him and it would be a good move. End of the day he's a solid player, the "MVP" for PAOK last season. He had a great season.
There is too much bad blood now with him at PAOK not just with Ivic but with previous managers as well, but at AEK he may realize it's time to start fresh and stop the crap.
Besides, Meli is a lot scarier than Ivan and I can picture Meli stubbing out that cigar of his right into Tzavellas cute little head, so there is that as well to keep him in line.
Scumbags of Partizan. Having 2.5 mill debts, most of that Tax-debts. While all the other clubs and citizens of Serbia pay nice at scheduled time. That should learn them!!!!
UEFA are just a bunch of rats. Always picking on the smaller teams. The Real Madrids, Barcelona's, Atleti's, Roma's of this world all have enormous debts. All Spanish clubs about 3 billion all together. Italian clubs 1.5 billion (figures from 2015). The debt of Partizan is pocketmoney. By excluding a big fish UEFA would set a real example.
pelkas did not score or assist v fiorentina. That was rodrigues
In fact pelka looked off the pace when he came on in that game and turned the ball over a few times.
He scored the winner vs Levediakos last week and he missed a bucket load of chances vs pas on the weekend.
In short he is not starting material for the NT, not yet anyways. Does he have a spot in the squad? perhaps.
