    Fanis Gekas ‒ (retired)

    in Greek Players Abroad

    Tesekkur ederim, Haydar!

    Btw, Greek newspapers are writing that Trabzonspor are trying to get Gekas from Akhisar.

     

    Parakalo Irlandos!

     

    Trabzonspor interested on Gekas but Akhisar doesn't want to let him to go easly, asking a serious fee.

    Last offer from Trabzon was 3 milion to 1 year including the fee, they told to Gekas you solve your fee problem, we have 3 Milion Euro budget for one year to spend on this transfer.

     

    As Gekas is 33 Trabzon doesn't want to spend too much money on his fee... Last news about it was on 4th of June it was;

     

    Trabzonspor offered slovak player ''Sapara + money'' to Akhisar but it seems that Akhisar didn't accept it.

    Considering Trabzonspor is not very good economically this year and they agreed with Turkish forward Batuhan Karadeniz today, it is difficult that Trabzonspor can handle his fee.

    As we read from press Gekas already gave a speech that ''he is ready to go Trabzon if clubs can agree on it''

    @Haydar:

     

    Translate some of the words to that song!

     

    Here below the translation, it is basic but leaves a smile in our face.

    Meanwhile music is stolen from an old Turkish pop music song,,,

     

    Greek scorer Theofanis scores in every match,

    This guy don't look like other this man is different,

    Gekas play with us forever,

    Akhisar will stay in league with his goals,

    Not Zeus not Perseus real God is this man,

    We want your goals every week with enenthusiasms

     

    Not Zeus, Not Perseus real God is this man

    Not Sow (Mousa Sow from Fenerbahce), Not Burak Yilmaz (Galatasaray)

    Theofanis Gekas!!!

     

    Lay, lay lay....

    Theofanis Gekas!!!

    another 2 today  :D  :tup:

    İBB 0-2 Akhisar Belediyespor

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOQtGjkhjmc

    he's rediscovered his scoring touch

    Gekas is a perfect finisher. I will follow with wonder, if he can save Akhisar, or not. Meahwhile I was listening the TV criticts and they critisize ''Besiktas'' not to transfer Gekas who can solve scoring problem as an economical transfer instead of Denthino or Niang.

    On the other hand I have learned that many quality team in Turkish league offered the Gekas such as Kayserispor, Sivasspor, Orduspor however also Levante offered to Gekas and he wanted to play one step better team by going to Levante after he couldn't find change Akhisar made a good offer as the last chance investment.

    I wonder Gekas is a very good finisher or Turkish Leaue is not so quality?

    We couldn't see Gekas in a serious team, he played in Samsun which was at the last and this year in also Akhisar at the last. These teams built their games over Gekas all balls finish in Gekas and sure Gekas is a perfect finisher. Otherwise in these league Anelka, Carew, Ortega, Quaresma, Elano, Guiza are sent to be unproductive. To say ''league is not quality, Gekas is average'' is not fair...

    Gekas signed for Akhisar Belediyespor which is weakest team of the Turkish Super League for this year. Again Gekas and Again the team biggest candidate to be delegated.

    Now I am sure that Gekas wants to earn money and instead of to play in a difficult league as a step player he prefer to be best player of a team even it is wekaest team of the Turkish League. Meanwhile some other clubs from Turkish League are offered to Gekas but probably with lower price. He chose Akhisar, which is a municipablity of Manisa City. It was suprise last year they qualified to Super Leage first time in their history with the support of famous ''kofte'' restoraunt chains ''Akhisar Ramiz Kofte''

    Gekas left Samsun and he got emotional moments. Couldn't keep his tears and he told that he spend a unbeleivable 3 monthes with full love and attention by Samsun people. It was the first time he saw a love to a foreigner in his life.

    Gekas went to Greece due to his injury and he will not able to play last 3 mathes, however he told that he will come and support Samsunspor in standium.

    Samsun has very very little change not to relegated they have to win last 3 matched while all competitors has to loose last 3 matches. Samsun payed to Gekas 650K per for half season. In press it is declarated that Kayserispor is interested with Gekas for next season seriously.

    So isn't money a good reason for a footballer who is 31 years old:)

    If he would be transfered to 1 of 3 big teams in Istanbul next year he could even earn 3 milion per year... I don't think another club in the world will pay 3 milion to Gekas, isn't it? If Gekas is too good that it seen he is good, he will be in Besiktas, Galatasaray or Fenerbahce next year even he will be 32.

    I don't know Greek league however it is my guess that the 2 leagues are similar. On the other hand Turkish league market value is much more bigger than Greek league. Broadcasting price of Turkish Super League is more expensive than Bundesliga, it is 5th in Europe.

    Is there a posibility Gekas' root from Black See Region-Pont?

    Gekas gave a full hope to Samsunspor now all sıpporters happy that they have good forward and they beleive Samsun will stay in Super league this year...

    Had he moved to one of the big 4 in Turkey (Trabzonspor being the other) I wouldn't say it was a stupid move. But to move to Samsunspor in the hope that he gets a move to one of the big 4 is dumb. He was wanted by Glasgow Rangers, Everton were rumoured to have been interested. Olympiakos have been admirers for a while. So moving to Samsunspor isn't grat. As you say the Greek league and the Turkish league are similar, so it would be the equivalent of him moving to Levadiakos in Greece. That would be a dumb move too.
    So, if they were offering the same money it is strange... You are right.

    However i find it a marginal decision not a dumb move because he is not too young so we can't say, he damaged his career. On the otherhand you can't compare the atmosphere between Samsun and Levadiakos, maybe the football quality is not much different but Samsun is a football city with 1.250.000 population. I am sure he doesn't pay for anything that nobady take money from him because he scored 3 to Fenerbahce :LOL:

    As far as i understand from interview he came to Samsun for half season because he even stay at hotel didn't want a house from managers. So maybe he has some other plans and didn't wanted to sign a long term contract with Glascow or another bigger team.

    Is there a posibility Gekas' root from Black See Region-Pont?

    His name would have been Gekidis if that were the case :P
    I don't know his surname but i found an article in Turkish very interesting, I ll translate some parts for you...

    The first Greek who carry Ataturk over his heart...

    The Grrek Footballer become all hope for Samsun City to stay in Turkish Super League and he is the first Greek footballer who carry Ataturk emblem over his jersey as City symbol.* (Samsun is the city where Kemal Ataturk started to resist aganist to occupation of Anatolia and aganist to Ottoman government so the emblem of city is Ataturk riding a horse reared up)

    When the journalist ask about the above issue he always avoid to answer this question, when they insist he prefer to say he is not good on historical issues. Also Samsunspor managers cut the chat by telling that they and Gekas decided not to comment on this kind of question to block the misunderstanding and not to heart 2 commmunity they focused on football...

    ''As many Greeks related with Anatolia and Turkey he doesn't have any root from Anatolia'' He was a worker child from Larissa and had a difficult chilhood. He has a wresling Championship of Greece in these years but he is only focus that the football which he learned with his brother by playing on the streets. When jornalists ask about his education he aanswers ''football school'2 he graduated form high school.

    He is married with his only and single love Vanessa, whom he met in a cafe in Athens. They have a twins Nikolas and Mikaela. He is now staying in a hotel in Samsun however after he is organised he is planing to move a house and carry his family to Samsun from Korfu Island.

    I don't need to show myself.

    He says that his career is confirmed, he doesn't need to show himself anybody. He says that he knows about the hospitability of Turks from Germany but he really suprised to face this kind of hospitability in Samsun everybody welcomed him perfect in Turkey. His only target now to carry Smasunspor to up rankings.

    He learned Lefter here

    He learned about Lefter Kucukantonionaidis, and he apriciated his carieer in Turkey and his magic to collect everybody around him.

    He is familier to play in Turkey that he played aganist to Turkish National Team in Istanbul Ali Sami Yen and Inonu Stadiums. Turkish NT is good team but everytime they manage to fall in a difficult group, this is bad lack of them.

    Short Chat for about Turkey

    He talk about bad effect of the crises on Greece. On the other hand he says that he was hearing from Turkish friends about the developing in turkey but he recognised it by himself when he came to Turkey. He says that turkey is a big country and really developing power.

    Turkish is a difficult language it has a strange melody inside, when he find time first opportunity he will start to learn Turkish.

    His success doesn't surprise me to be honest. The Turkish league is an attractive league to watch. The atmosphere at games is excellent and the teams are positive in their approach, but it's fairly weak overall. Weaker than the Greek league, and that's evident by how the teams fair in Europe. This was a stupid move for him in my opinion. He's at the age where he could have had a shot at one last hurrah. The likes of Everton are desperate for a forward, as if they wouldn't have taken him on loan with an option to buy considering he's so cheap and they just sold Saha. If not, Fulham would have. Why go to a team like Samsunspor? Money perhaps?

    So isn't money a good reason for a footballer who is 31 years old:)

    If he would be transfered to 1 of 3 big teams in Istanbul next year he could even earn 3 milion per year... I don't think another club in the world will pay 3 milion to Gekas, isn't it? If Gekas is too good that it seen he is good, he will be in Besiktas, Galatasaray or Fenerbahce next year even he will be 32.

    I don't know Greek league however it is my guess that the 2 leagues are similar. On the other hand Turkish league market value is much more bigger than Greek league. Broadcasting price of Turkish Super League is more expensive than Bundesliga, it is 5th in Europe.

    Transfers and Rumors

    He is clearly not better than Mirallas, possibly better than Fetfastzidis.

    He lacked disipline in his Fenerbahce days but with right guidance from Fatih Terim in Turkish national team and Galatasaray, did well in that department.

    Neco made a good explanation. ''Etsi Ketsi'' signing... Kazım played impressive football some periods in Turkish National Team and Fenerbahce old seasons that he was average in Galatasaray. He is powerful but as Neco mentioned he has some dicipline problems.

    He is not too bad player as some GS funs told. I think many of Galatasay Funs couldn't accept him as a player who came from Fenerbahce. Kazim could be helpfull for Olympiakos, at least he could work as much as Riera woked in Galatasaray...

    no offense GS but i think this is a really poor move for gekas.  first of all, frankfurt i believe are a better team than samsunspor.  the level of the turkish league is not that much better than the greek league, so him playing for them is about the equivalent as him playing for a club like ARIS or XANTHI. 

    the ONLY reason i see why he made the move was either salary related, or bc he wants to be in better form for the EUROS this summer.  i think he could have easily moved to a better league and a better club.  no clubs in the bundesliga wanted him? doubtful....

    the club will probably be relegated this season and he will move on again, confirming his status as a wandering player...

    i think he could have done much better...

    Samsun is a nice city, maybe he wanted to be far away for a period?. And wanted a small adventure... If Gekas would moved to Trabzonspor, Bursaspor or equvalent i could understand hence Samsunspor is not in a good position however Samsunspor was a major team in Turkish league untill end of starting of 2000s.

    Gekas is 31 and whatever he wants he could do. While football legends are moving to countries which doesn't have any backround about football what Gekas made is much more logical. Samsunspor could stay in league they don't have a bad team.

    Greek League and Turkish League has many similarities, as a person knows both leagues little bit, i beleive if we compare the last 6-7 ranking teams of leagues Turkish league is much more better, while when we compare the first teams it is almost at the same level...

    This move looks like how Turmer Metin moved to Larissa before. He could play in much more better teams in Trukey however i don't beleive he wished not to move Greece. Now he is the most famous Turkish in Greece, and Larissa funs loved him so much...

    Gekas is not only person in this situation, Orduspor whom Gekas scored 2 goals aganist and let to Samsun to win has Hector Cuper, i think he won the Greek Cup in Aris last year?

    And lets not leave out the italians,according to the laroma24 site,Baptista manager,Alesandro Loutsi is on his way to greece to finalize the deal with the Olympiakos management with the blessings of Roma.

    http://www.laroma24.it/?show=article&artid=24631

    Oh,and also Pandelic is also in the news today.He asks for 1mil per year and a 3 year deal.Kovacevic is the man handling this transfer.

    http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zo...o-baptista-from

    Newspapers here giving the transfer as it certain...

    But today i heard that Roma insisting for 10 Milion fee and Galatasaray on negotiation...

    He doesn't worth to 10M that last year he was at the deep of his performance...

    The funny thing is that today his brazilian main manager said that Baptista will not actually go anywhere and that he will stay with Roma..

    i dont know anymore.. :o :D

    Yes according to the press Olympiakos and Galatasaray both intereted on Ronaldinho too last month and the Brazilian was very close to Galatasaray :LOL:

    And Robinho was looking to warm to come Besiktas. :LOL:

    The clubs such as Olympiakos, Galatasaray, PAO maybe can transfer the big stars but unfortunately cant keep them very long...

    So my idea it's not clever to spent more than 7-8 M for a footballer...

    Galatasaray couldn't keep Ribery before, the same for Anelka in Fenerbahce.

    They want to leave after a while and if they are not allowed they don't play.

    Fenerbahce payed 14M for Guiza now they can't give him even to 5M.

    Galatasaray payed 20 M for Mario Jardel 10 years ago then he left to 3-4 M after few years.

    There are younger and more skilled footballers with less fee...

    Euro 2016 France

    in European Championship

    Posted

    Euro 2016 found the owner country,

    At the Final Italy, Turkey and France raced to get the champhionship. Turkey and France made a good presentation, Sarkosy and Gul were there too. Specially Turkey worked too much to have this Champhionsip that Turkey trying to have it for last 3 competitions.

    At the Final Turkey and Frace raced and France got it with 1 vote differance...

    According to the Press UEFA Major Platini worked like an activist of France he intoduced Sarkosy and Zidane to the delegates one by one...Didn't do the same for Abdullah Gull and Turkish Side.

    Turkey was thinking to be a different destination and new stadiums and going on projects will be advantage but it didn't happen. Lobby activities won again.

    Hope It will be nice Champhionship for football and fairplay... IMO France will be very nice to have the football atmosphere with beautifull Stadiums but i think to make it more international, has to give it to different destinations anymore. Turkey would do it easly with new stadiums.

    Quarter Final: Turkey-Grecee

    Grecee is favourite but for this tournument Turkey play very agressive and sucsesful. To win to Grecee won't be suprise after won to Spain-Serbia-Lithuania...

    Greece is the favourite?? Well, they may win the tie, in sport anything can happen, but looking at how both teams played so far, Turkey is the clear cut favourite here.
    You are right if we ok at the performances Turkey is favourite but i don't have explanation why i tell this but i feel Grecee is favourite, maybe i don't trust Turkey' under stress performance i give %51 to Grecee % 49 To Turkey.

    It will be really Tough match.
