World Cup 2026 will expand from 32 to 48 teams. This will probably mean about 4 extra spots for Europe.

Lateral move. Not bad, all things considered. Hope to see some consistent play from him.

I find it hard to understand how Maniatis has yet to find a club. He is still only 30 and has had a good career, all things considered. Played in big international qualifiers, Euro, WC, CL, EL, started and has not been bad for the NT in the last few months. How doesn`t another Greek team pick him up? Is it a wage issue?

He signed for KV Mechelen in Belgian First Division. He will play alongside his countryman Dimitris Kolovos. Don`t yet know the details of the transfer.

I hope he gets a chance at an even bigger club now that he is in form at in the prime of his career, however not if that means he has to fight for minutes somewhere else.

What a waste of arguably the most promising teenager ever for Greece. He is not finished but injuries have devastated him.

So strange. To terminate his contract, can't be based on lack of skill for the Belgian league. I don't even think it's solely based on inconsistency. There must be several underlying issues.

It`s an isolated league that gets little exposure other than if sides make it to CL or EL. Zenit isn`t a bad team, but he'd be better off moving to mid-table England.

All things considered, better than nothing.

He's not too good for Montreal or MLS, but he easily in the top tier skill-wise.

Rumblings that he is leaving in January as he has lost his spot with Benfica. Zenit still in the mix.

If it isn't for him to play in a top flight league, I love to see him on my hometown team. Drogba just left the team, but they are a relatively competitive side, losing to Toronto FC in extra time semi-finals about a month ago.

Congratulations you're a funny guy.

Trap? Speak like a normal person if you want to be taken seriously.

At this point, we need to improve the potency of our midfield, no matter who plays as a forward. Speaking strictly as pecking order, Vellios has the elements.

Siovas is 28 and NT is already deep in the CB position for the next 7-8 years. Think he can be a solid backup, but never play a significant role for the Ethniki.

Or after transfer window

Same thing was said on Manolas thread and it gives a momentary heart attack. Done this season you mean done until the transfer window.

Transfer ban for Real Madrid have been lifted. Transfer ban on Madrid has been lifted.

We will miss him in defensive midfield as I think he is our best option.

Should be only one match due to the red card.

Yes his child was born today. He also got a visit from him old mentor Traianos Dellas in Dortmund last week which he posted a picture about on Facebook.

We`ve been discussing this in depth in the Fetfatzidis thread under Greek Players Abroad, and yes, he needs to be on the NT, at least as a bench option.

In that sense, maybe, but what i was trying to say is that Mitroglou's best is better than Karelis'.

Guys, Ronaldo is only 31 and in great shape. He is still considered in his prime, you are talking about him like he's 35.
