i've lost interest in the national team, claudio the clown has completely deflated me, this latest squad is appalling. O Karnezis(Udinese) P Glykos(PAOK) S Kapino(FSV Mainz) why the need for 3 keepers to play the faroe's and a friendly v serbia???????? V Torosidis K Manolas(both Roma) L Vyntra N Karabelas(both Levante) A Papadopoulos(Trabzonspor) V Moras(Verona) M Bakakis(AEK) C Tasoulis(Panionios) holebas is out injured stafylidis is dropped not deemed good enough by our wonderful coach who's gone for an uncapped 30 year old left back instead (karabelas) A Tziolis(PAOK) G Maniatis(Olympiakos) L Christodoulopoulos(Verona) P Kone(Udinese) A Samaris(Benfica) C Mavrias(Sunderland) P Mantalos(AEK) T Dinas(Panathinaikos) D Kolovos(Panionios) no tachtsidis who's been outstanding so far this season dropped by our pathetic manager. T Gekas(Akhisar Beleyedispor) N Karelis(Panathinaikos) S Athanasiadis(PAOK) no mitroglou no samaras and no salpingidis, should really beat the faroe's at home with any group of players but this is ridiculous, no continuity when you keep chopping and changing, and why is mavrias playing?? its embarrassing that he doesn't get a single minute for sunderland but is a regular for greece. ranieri has ruined us and is earning a small fortune in the process.

alexandros tzorvas made his debut yesterday for north east united in the indian super league, he kept a clean sheet in his sides 1-0 win over kerala blasters. bravo alexandro :D :D :D :D later today kostas katsouranis is set to make his debut for pune city in their indian super league match against delhi dynamos. :D :D :D nice to see greek representation in india. :gr: :nw:

Avraam Papadopoulos has joined Trabzonspor and will continue in Turkey, great move for him as he was being frozen out at Olympiakos, he's only been given a one year contract, hopefully he'll earn himself an extension. Jose Holebas got himself a 2 year deal with Roma where he'll provide cover for ashley cole and left back.

samaras has joined west brom on a 2 year contract, he's back in the english premier league, risky move though as it wouldn't be a surprise if west brom go down.

kone has joined Udinese, he's signed a 5 year contract, great move after bologna's relegation.

sokratis has won himself another german super cup winners medal playing 90mins in his sides 2-0 win over bayern munich. :gr: :tup: :gr: :nw: :gr:

karagounis has just won the dutch super cup in his sides 1-0 over Ajax coming on after 62 minutes. :gr: :tup: :nw: :tup: :gr:

after a short spell in Ukraine pliatsikas has joined romanian side Astra Giurgiu, he made his debut in his sides 2-0 win at concordia chiajna last night.

AEK legend giannis arabatzis has joined romanian side astra guirgui on a 1 year contract he joins compatriot vasilis pliatsikas.

Aris goalkeeper Sokratis Dioudis signed a 2 year contract with club brugge, Aris will get 200,000 euros + 50,000 after 20 appearances(won't happen) + 15% sell on fee. I suspect he'll spend the season on the bench behind Australia keeper matt ryan.

olympiakos have signed kostas fortounis, i think this is a really good move for both player and club. fortounis has a 5 year contract, a step up for him from the german second division. lets hope he plays regularly and features in the champions league.

vellios has signed a 2 year contract with Lierse and will continue in belgium. needs to get some first team football under his belt, he should get that opportunity from lierse.

tachtsidis has joined hellas verona on loan for the season, we got 3 greeks there now, no wonder its called 'hellas' verona :D

joins vangelis moras at hellas verona, he's earned himself a 3 year contract having left the relegated bologna.

stafylidis has joined fulham for a year on loan. tough league that championship in england, its a 46 game season so he should get loads of minutes under his belt.

lamprou has joined willem II he's only got a 1 year contract, hopefully he'll start and earn himself a contract extension.

kapino has signed a 4 year contract with mainz and will continue in the bundesliga, great move for him if he plays regularly but risky at the same time as he was pretty much guaranteed first team football at pao. lets hope it works out for him and he doesn't end up like sifakis and tzorvas.

well we're stuck with karnezis in goal maybe kapino can step up but he needs to improve his kicking, what a massive loss lodigin is. defensively we're ok manolas looks the part and papastathopoulos is one of the best in europe, toro is decent at right back. the problems we have are in midfield and a lack of strikers salpi and gekas can't really cut it anymore but have to play on through lack of any real alternative, fetfatzidis could play down the left side of midfield but we're so weak in the centre of midfield its a shame ergys kace chose albania over us, maniatis should only be a back up right back to toro, tziolis is slow katsouranis finished karagounis has retired samaris is just average tachtsidis never seems to play 90minutes and ninis couldn't even get a game for PAOK last season. next friendly we could line up kapino; toro manolas papastathopoulos tzavellas; salpi christodoulopoulos kone fetfatzidis; samaras mitroglou maybe kolovos if he gets playing time at olympiakos and kitsiou might be one for the future also thanasis karagounis looked decent in the dutch league last season which could solve a lot of problems for us in midfield.

his side just beat Ajax 5-1 in the dutch cup final, although he didn't make it off the bench karagounis picks up a dutch cup winners medal in his first season at the club. :gr: :tup: :nw: :tup: :gr:

Thanasis Karagounis signed a 2.5 year deal for PEC Zwolle during the winter transfer window after 5 years with atromitos, he has been playing regularly in midfield since joining them.

just won another scottish premier league title with celtic :gr: :tup: :nw: :tup: :gr: his contract is up at the end of the season, he's currently on a basic salary of

just won the belgium cup with Lokeren :gr: :tup: :nw: :tup: :gr:

professionally its a strange move, to give up a super league winners medal and a probable greek cup winners medal and champions league football to sign for a team that's almost certain to get relegated is bizarre, however money talks mitro's gone from 12,000 euros per week to just over

Mitroglou has signed a 4.5year contract with fulham and links up with giorgios karagounis at the premier league club. olympiakos will receive around

well its finally happened fetfatzidis has left olympiakos and signed for genoa for 4m euros, lets hope he can get regular first team football because he wasn't getting any playing time at oly. good move for him hope it works out for him as he has talent and can be a great asset to our national team.
