    Giorgos Samaras ‒ (retired)

    in Greek Players Abroad

    Posted

    Man City are playing their first game of the season under the guidance of Sven Goran Erikssen. Samaras isn't in the team, not even on the bench. And with Middlesborough withdrawing their interest it looks like his time in England is over.

    I agree with your view. The guy can be a world class striker. He certainly possesses all the physical attributes, but he seems easily distracted and lazy.

    I wonder where his career goes from here. His time at Man City is surely over now.

    Sven has started his revolution and it appears he has no plans for Samaras.

    I hope he goes to a team in Spain, France, Germany or Netherlands and maybe they can turn him into a true professional.

    Kali epitixia paidia! :tup:

    How great is it to see these pics with happy Greeks! :gr:

    Full credit to everyone connected to this team. Nioplias looks overjoyed and so he should. He's done a fantastic job with these up and coming youth players.

    Fani didn't score yesterday as Bochum ended up losing 2 - 3 at home to Stuttgart.

    Either way however, he looks like finishing Bundesliga top scorer which is a fantastic achievement for him and if you consider where Bochum were and where they are finishing (just short of UEFA place), the Bochum fans and club should be extremely happy with the "gamble" of picking him up.

    Bravo Fani...perimenw na exeis kopsi to mali gia to epomeno seson. :tup:

    BOCHUM 1 - 2 HERTHA BERLIN :(

    bochum were ahead 1-0 gekas scored but it's all changed now :(

    it's approching the last minutes looks like the score is going to

    stay like this :huh:.

    Bochum lost 3 -1.

    At least he scored another goal.

    I think even if VfL Bochum stay up Gekas should leave for a bigger club. He is in his mid to late 20s now and there would be no better time for him to test himself at a greater club.

    "The Greek attacker, on loan from Panathinaikos, sports a mullet straight out of the 1980s and is essentially an unreconstructed, old-fashioned centre-forward, bereft of skill or imagination. He's also dull as the river Ruhr off the pitch - going on long walks with his wife is his only known hobby - and doesn't exactly dazzle spectators on it. He contributes next to nothing to his team's game, wins the least challenges in the league and is flagged offside so often that assistant referees are in danger of developing tendonitis. Against Hannover last week he managed to stray offside five times in five minutes.

    He's the anti-Thierry Henry, both in a good and bad sense: his all-round game might be severely lacking but his finishing is world-class. His goals and the retro-cool of his Vokuhila-hair (vorne kurz, hinten lang - the German shlong) have firmly established him as a Greek god in Bochum, the club colloquially known as the greyest of all "grey mice" in Germany.

    Every time he scores, the Sirtaki booms out in the Rewirpower-Stadion. An ever increasing Greek contingent is attracted to the ground and this week he will coach a training session of Hellas Bochum, a local Greek women's team. Some of team-mates secretly begrudge his success and are convinced that he only sees the club as a stepping stone but they can't really complain: Gekas has become known as Bochum's "life insurance", as no club with the leading goal-scorer has ever been relegated in the league's history.

    Sadly for Bochum, they are set to lose their surprisingly prolific hitman either way. Their option to buy Gekas for ?700,000 is only valid if they stay up - but if they do, wealthier clubs will step in. "Fanis" is rumoured to have already agreed terms with Leverkusen, who are looking to replace the Liverpool-bound Andre Voronin. It has to be said that Gekas' mullet would only be a slight improvement on the Ukrainian's raver ponytail. But goals are still more important, even in the Beckham age."

    It's a very well written and witty piece, but it is quite insulting to Gekas.

    The mullet he sports is shocking and in my opinion fair game for people to take the mickey out of, but the writers attack on him being dull and bereft of skill does not negate from this when giving him a backhand compliment for his goal scoring.

    We all need some humour when analysing the world, and especially football but if I was Gekas I'd be annoyed! :D

    The guy has skill. He is more skillful than Charisteas for example. He should show it more.

    He also scored AFTER the 3rd round FA cup match.

    He pulled 2 trollop slappers at a Manchester pub and took them back home for some "slap and tickle" *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* and a bit of "how's ya father?", you know what I mean?

    Bravo Giorgo! I have always said that Kritikoi are God's people...the chosen ones.

    You reinforce my belief that Kritikoi are correct by calling Jesus Christ, Manoli!

    His first goal was impressive.

    He took a pass from inside his half and casually dribbled well into Everton's half leaving defenders guessing at what he would do next.

    He then slipped a ball behind the defenders in their penalty box to a rushing Beasley who then crossed to a near post rushing Samaras who side footed the ball through the keepers legs.

    His second was a penalty. Which he confidently dispatched.

    Glad for the guy..good for him..Yes prove PAO that you were worth to keep

    Really positive for Fani to be performing. Hopefully he can help his side off the bottom of the ladder.

    4 matches gone and they only have the draw they got this past weekend at Nurenburg who were league leaders, so that is something positive.

    Check out Fani's hairstyle from the clubs website:

    Looks like the German climate has kick started the mullet into super growth. :tup:

    Marcos lost eventually, but I guess the match was set up for Agassi playing his final tournament and all. Marco has years ahead of him.

    It's a pity that he will have Federer in front of him for a few more years as he is the only one I really feel is better than Marco.

    Maybe he can find a decent German hairdresser and get rid of the barbouni he's been wearing on the back of his melon.

    dude the mullet is awesome... :tup:

    somehow the mullet gets chicks :LOL: - seen his wife? shes fine...

    Is she a stunner (as opposed to a stunned mullet! :P)?

    I don't really care. I'm not into women, if you know what I mean (private joke between Hollywood and myelf) ;)
