Panos and Ikonomidis are still very young...I have never seen Panos play, but Kris looks promising. you can't compare the ACL with anything remotely we see in UCL/Europa....The depth and quality are on different planets... Giannou is behind Mitro and Klaus...so at 26 his chances are limited......

I would blame PAOK in most of these cases. The attitude of the team towards those players, letting them get away with murder. Hopefully with Arnesen now running the team such practices will become history. His handling of Lucas, Martens, Pereyra shows me that he is handling these kind of situations.

It's so annoying when players do well, then come to PAOK, play like s%$#!, then leave and are suddenly rock stars again. Even Lucas...he was promising when he came here. His first season with us, he showed glimmers of greatness but was overall mediocre. Then he goes to Spain and starts swinging a big dick around....where was that s%$#! when we needed it? Then he says he's pissed his team had to pay PAOK 1.5M to buy him....If you're so mad, you should have honored your contract and went there for free you cun+...Necid came to PAOK for a nice climate to rehab his injuries....Get back into the game and is swinging his junk around Turkey now.

It's a typical nothing story from know-nothing hacks. OK he is currently equal leading scorer in the league (with Mantzios and Fortounis) but he hasn't played against the better teams nor scored in Europe yet. If Giannou scores 20 this season then he'll be a Greece international by the time WC qualifiers come around. I don't see it though. He'll be 26 in January so time is running out for him. Australia can have him. They pick up Greece's scraps anyway. Ikonomidis, Bouzanis, Mells, Armenakas to name a few kids who would never make it in Greece.
