  1. Guys I've been looking at old footage from qualifying campaigns and tournaments. Both Euro 2012 and World Cup 2014 (both with Santos at the helm). One consistent I see from all the goals we scored and it's not all of them but the majority of the goals is Samaras had a direct hand in all of them. He either bombed the ball to Torosidis who one touched it to Salpi for that beautiful goal vs Romania in the World Cup playoff gm or with minutes left vs Costa Rica lobbed another one into the box that Katsouranis flicked on to Gekas who turned and shot the ball and Sokratis banged in the rebound to tie the gm which we eventually lost in penalties. The guy is a beast. i can clearly say that he was our biggest loss for the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign since he had no team and was never called up. I know we lost Kara and Katsouranis and Salpi but the key was Samaras. He was our most creative offensive player and we simply couldn't create anything offensively. I don't understand how no team has signed this guy through two transfer periods or why he just doesn't come and play in Greece for his last couple of years? The proof is in the pudding take a look at our goals and you'll see for yourself. The beautiful pass to Salpi when we eliminated the Ukraine in Ukraine, the one two with Samaris vs Ivory coast when Samaris scored then Samaras cool calm and collective scored that penalty shot that sent us to the final 16 for the first time ever. That goal vs Germany, also the wrong footed one vs Croatia in Greece, or the one two with Holebas on that fast counter-attack play that resulted in Holebas drilling the crossbar or how bout the hustle vs Croatia to outrun the defender and deliver a sitter for Gekas which as we all remember he missed. Let's give this guy some credit. We miss you Samaras. Find a team and get your ass back on the NT. We need you!!!! Makynia OUT!!!!

  3. You're correct Makynia imo. He was our best player during our best world cup campaign of all time. Completely unappreciated. I think he had some great offers, but he wanted to go to Arabia for a stint. The pace of modern football is so fast that most managers nowadays don't look past 6months-year. So all that form is worth zero to them now. Depending on the player, 30 is not old. Samaras at 30, could very well have 5 more years in him. Would Samaras & Mitroglou ever be a good combo? I can't recall them ever making a combo together, but it seems like a good fit!

  4. Great news for those who had been clamoring for a new contract for Kace ... This probably makes all the difference
