Nick as good experience he had he hasn't got it anymore, but Ketsbaia did say be wanted a left footed CB in an article I read and he is just that, let's see what happens. Reports saying Lazarus on his way to Athens also

I heard Oly was after Lescott and were also close to him? Not sure if I am keen on him, he has gone from bad to worse last couple seasons Lazarus at this stage isn't a bad option since we have no Barbosa and left it late to get a replacement

This is the typical issue us Greeks have, instead of being united we target and bitch amongst each other about who is more Greek, who supports what political party and where someone comes from and also bag the motherland when its in its struggles like it currently is. WE ARE GREEK I don't care if anyone is from America or Africa you are Greek to me and that's final. I May not share the same views as you but that's personal choice, doesn't mean we attack each other for those reasons.....

I have my opinion you have yours, pretty simple really.

Long road ahead to get back to where Greek Football needs to be but its a positive start, pretty sure until 2018/19 things will stay the way they are and Greek teams will need to qualify for all European competitions.

At this stage of the window he wouldn't be a bad option to have but I agree we need depth in other areas, one injury to Johanssen or Simeos and we are screwed. Im sure coach knows it, only god knows what management think

Big mistake letting Cordero go he was a perfect back up, I have faith in Galanopoulos, he seems he can do the job for us but will lack experience at times. Would be good to get a CB, DM and a winger by end of the month but don't see that happening, we will be lucky to bring one more player in id say

We have to be the most backward nation on earth when it comes to Football. Move it no problem, let the fans in Greece once again miss out on the final, but what refs get appointed? The same scums we have in Greece? If that's the case then this decision is bullshit and an attempt to try out smart Kontonis is trying to cancel it in future

Also is EPO going to sanction/fine Aris for their fans behaviour in the game or will they overlook that as they are one of their buddy teams, friendly or not something MUST be done.

PAOKSYD I was told in Greece that Greece had sold rights to Versace for the emblem that's why they use it, not sure how true that is though. As for the Meandro, I have it as a tat on my arm, here in Aus anyone sees it they know I'm Greek, when I was in Greece I almost got jumped on the train by 3 guys who thought it was an XA symbol. If anything I honestly thought in Greece not one person would have an issue with it, but different mind sets here and different mindsets there.....

Now we should ask why didn't he move the final last season? EPO is in panic mode, enjoy your final days scums, you have caused enough rezili to this league.

Saw that also Akritis, wont buy into it though, until he is seen in Athens with our scarf around him

Well Barbosa is gone, sad to see him go!! New name on the cards, Milanov from CSKA, not a bad move if true. Reading again Ketsbaia wants another CB, why don't we go for Cala? Its obvious the guy wants to come back, its obvious we need a CB and the guy can play.

Wow I wonder what Kougias is up to by making Alafouzos his choice for SL President. Too many games being played by ALL sides, are we going to see the league start by October?

ATM he would be a decent replacement since we sold off Barbosa so late in the transfer period.

If that's all you can reply back with then just shows what I have said is on the money :)

Only Simeos would start in PAOK LOL seriously............ Because the PAOK starting 11 is so strong.

I don't see how signing Ketsbaia was a bad sign for AEK, the guy knows the league, knows what AEK means, has done well in Cyprus and with the Georgian NT, but its a bad sign by AEK? I find that funny. As for Meli yes he is tight right now, but his tightness got him a kypello last season and some of those free agenrs we signed actually done well for us so don't see an issue if a player is a free agent or you pay for him, MANY players have been bought and turned out s%$#!, its all about the player and what he can do when it comes down to it, the price tag or free agent shouldn't have anything to do with it. Leicester is your perfect example, Vardy was playing League 2 3 seasons ago now he is an EPL winner. All comes down to the heart and passion the team/players have.

Marinakis is a good guy we just have misunderstood him and his ways

Only difference with Meli is that he doesn't want to control the league only for AEK to dominate it and win the league each year and also win CL money. He may want control but he does want a fairer competition between teams/more competitive league, he has also said he wants ALL Greek teams to have their own stadiums built/renovated. So lets not put Marinakis and Meli in the same boat as they are very different. As for Kontonis good on him, about time we had a Minister with balls and who can say it how it is, regardless of who's behind him or supporting him, Oly fans don't like things the way they are as its unknown territory to them as they have always gotten whatever they wanted, times are changing.

What needs to be done is EPO doing what was agreed and assigning the refs that were agreed with UEFA, but EPO hasn't done it and Oly are backing them, along with their 2 bitch clubs AEL and Asteras, why is it the so called biggest team in Greece is afraid to play in a comp with different refs?

How can someone say AEK will finish 5th when first season back we finished 3rd and now have better players and more depth in most positions? Laughable comment.

Tsipras & Marinakis have a good relationship. Lets not also forget Marinakis one time called Kontonis before the derby against PAO and obviously had a hand in calling it off, back then Oly fans loved Kontonis now they are against him. As for AEK PAOK & PAO saying they wont take part, good on them for making a stand who the hell is EPO to make decisions that weren't agreed to, who is Oly to back them up, why are they benefitting from it? I guarantee ANYONE here if they were in a situation where things weren't going by what was agreed you would stand up and be heard also, these 3 teams are doing that.

Well said by Tsiartas

Why even bother selling him for that amount just before the season starts, dumb decision if it goes ahead. Don't see us getting a replacement either, Ketsbaia said he prefers to go for another CB also. PAOKSYD - Are you for real? That's a good joke, PAOK cant finish above any of the big 3 these days and you want to worry about where AEK will finish....
