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

mate your comments are simply not true, i've posted line ups for you to see that above. how many matches did APOEL during their champions league run only have one cypriot??

real madrid 5-2 APOEL poursiatidis and charalambides start and satsias comes off the bench. http://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2012/04/04/europe/uefa-champions-league/real-madrid-club-de-futbol/apoel-nicosia/1274341/?ICID=PL_MS_02 lyon 1-0 APOEL poursiatidis charalambidis and chiotis start http://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2012/02/14/europe/uefa-champions-league/olympique-lyonnais/apoel-nicosia/1237453/?ICID=PL_MS_01 APOEL 1-0 lyon poursiatidis charalambidis & chiotis start alexandrou comes off the bench http://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2012/03/07/europe/uefa-champions-league/apoel-nicosia/olympique-lyonnais/1237454/?ICID=PL_MS_02 APOEL 0-2 SHAKHTAR poursiatidis charalambidis & alexandrou all started http://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2011/12/06/europe/uefa-champions-league/apoel-nicosia/joint-stock-company-fc-shakhtar-donetsk/1209562/ APOEL 2-1 porto charalambidis solomou & poursiatidis all started alexandrou on off the bench http://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2011/11/01/europe/uefa-champions-league/apoel-nicosia/futebol-clube-do-porto/1209558/ ZENIT 0-0 APOEL charalambidis solomou & alexandrou all start ilia off the bench http://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2011/11/23/europe/uefa-champions-league/fk-zenit-sankt-petersburg/apoel-nicosia/1209560/ shakhtar 1-1 APOEL chiotis and poursiatidis start charalambidis off the bench http://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2011/09/28/europe/uefa-champions-league/joint-stock-company-fc-shakhtar-donetsk/apoel-nicosia/1209554/ i don't see a difference between greeks and cypriots and the facts are APOEL started with 3 greeks/cypriots in virtually all of their champions league games. on no occasion did APOEL field a side with no cypriots during their champions league run.

that's not true, they usually lined up with charalambidis(captain) solomou and alexandrou, also ilia featured from time to time. against real madrid poursiatidis played and also chiotis in goal along with alexandrou and the captain. http://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2012/03/27/europe/uefa-champions-league/apoel-nicosia/real-madrid-club-de-futbol/1274340/?ICID=PL_MS_01

don't get me wrong i'm not against foreign players, they improve the league and local players improve by playing and training along side them, however when omonia line up with 10 foreigners out of 11 i find it hard to motivate myself to follow their uefa cup run.

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.

offensively he's great but he looses the ball too often and doesn't track back meaning the central defenders have to keep coming to his rescue, you can get away with it against the likes of platanias and other average super league sides but he gets found out at this level. mate wait for the line ups to be announced before you part with your money.

gutted, karnezis is a big loss, i would rather kapino over glykos i'm not convinced with glykos its gonna be a nervy 90 minutes with him in our goal.

i really don't like maniatis, he's just a converted right back who's only value to the squad is as back up to torosidis, i can't believe he plays every game in our midfield. not optimistic tonight, fetfatzidis should be playing in what is a must win game and question marks remain about holebas, we were lucky japan didn't attack down his side and playing him LM for me is not an option as his crossing is questionable. i hope we can contain toure and drogba but i'm not optimistic.

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 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.
