Dikefale11

In regards to the LB position we are now looking at D?dac Vil?, a Spanish left back who was just released by A.C. Milan after his contract ran out having spent the last 3 seasons on loan at Espanyol, Betis, and Eibar. Has featured previously for all Spanish national teams, except senior, from ages 19 to 23. He is 26 years old. Seems decent enough, could be a step up from what he have now. Talks seem to be going well, we find out more tomorrow.

Barbosa will very much be in the starting 11 for the time being and depending on his form whilst Mantalos is out. Once he returns, once again depending on his form, Vargas may fill his position, depending on his form also. But as things stand he will be starting on the left wing.

I'm fairly certain of their progress, PAOK should at least score 1 which will make Spartak to need to score 3. Atromitos lead 3-1 so even if AIK somehow put 2 past them without reply, Atromitos still go through on the away goals rule. However stranger things have happened.

I was toying with putting Platella at RW and Arava at CF but cant see Djebbour not starting. Also Platella's pace would be a great asset to have coming off the bench in the 2nd half fresh on the wing. Either way these are good "problems" to have. Forgot about Soiledis ability to play at LW, I just feel his crosses are abysmal personally.

What do you mean?

In the game vs Platanias, provided no more signings are made, I expect to see ........................Baroja Galo.........Arzo..........Kolovetsios...........LB/Soiledis ........Johansson......Simoes Aravidis...........Vargas.............Barbosa ......................Djebbour Depth wise we are sorted in all positions bar the wing positions, provided we sign a LB. GK: Anestis, Vouras RB: Bakakis, Vasilantonopoulos CB: Tzanetopoulos, Lambropoulos, Svarnas LB: Soiledis, Petravrakis CM:Anakoglou, Cordero, Faye AM: Mantalos, Grontis, Zoric R/LW: Platellas FW: Chrisantus

You forgot Kolovetsios at CB, we are grand there. I agree LB and LW should be our goal addition wise.

^I think you mean WC 2014 not 2010.

To be honest nobody knows what Mel is thinking. The stick he is getting by certain fans on different sites and facebook however is disgusting like someone stated previously considering where AEK would be had it not been for the man. He is hardly going to throw millions of euros out of his pocket on players just to please fans, thats erratic spending, like Amorgos also stated he didn't get to where he is today on erratic spending. Slowly but surely the team is getting tweaked left right and centre on positions that are needed. We needed a RB, we got a RB, we needed a GK we got a GK, we also got a CB and two MF's along with Djebbour. Sure we could do with another winger but the way some fans are dissing him is atrocious and have the same mind frame that lead AEK to the 3rd division in the first place. Its only August 6, a long time before the transfer window closes. Lets take it one day at a time. I'm hoping for a winger on either side, and a left back. We wont be getting another striker. We have Djebbour, Aravidis and Chrisantus. Is Brecevic still on the books? Either way its not the worst strike-force. Aravidis deserves his shot in the SL with AEK, Chrisantus deserves a full pre-season under his belt before we can judge him and so far so good for him. Djebbour is a worry but who knows how his crazy mind works, maybe he's saving what he's got in the tank for the league games, I will admit his tembelli mind frame worries me but I cant judge until I've seen him play properly.

I think a lot of people will be surprised. I seen PAO play yesterday vs Club Brugge and if they are going to be one of our main rivals then it wont br as hard as people think. Sure its early days but we cant let these pre-season games fools us. Our aim is and always will be to win the league regardless if we are just promoted. Olympiakos have the best team, thats a given, but other than them I cant see any other team having that much of a better team then ours. PAO? PAOK? Iraklis? Asteras? Atromitos? Nah I dont buy it, we can easily match each one of these teams player for player or even exceed them. PMNE GIA PROTATHLIMA!!

3-0 Game

I cant seem to understand what has happened reading reports, can anyone explain? Seems very strange something about a condition in the contract?

True, competition I guess? Not gonna happen anyway.

Fetfa and Staf would be very good signings, most of our signings this summer (first team wise) have been foreign, which their is nothing wrong with but would be good to add to our Greek talent. Unfortunately I cant see either player signing. If they do, they'll be loans.

I know, we only had a dew hours in Athens before we had to head back to the airport! Terrible form from me!

Yeah i really need that online shop to return, i was in Athens 2 weeks ago but couldn't make it to monastiraki to hit up the AEK shop unfortunately so all i could leave Greece with was a AEK key ring...

So you have nothing credible to reply in regards to whats been talked about since your last well thought out reply? We like to have civilised in debt discussions on this side of the forum, you clearly dont have the brain capacity to participate so please jog on back to whatever arsehole you crawled out of boy.

Young too, only 19! Seems decent enough, true story tho?

Red Sanchez after he was given yellow. Bizzare

GOAL BERG with the header, 1-1 game on

By the looks of things hes a journeyman and s%$#!.

Djalma guy has a terrible record for a striker, if he is a striker! Chrisantus attracting interest from Qatar after his showing in the friendly game. Personally I hope we keep him. With a proper pre-season under his belt Im sure he can come good, signing in January is always tough to land on your feet. I would welcome Stafylidis too. But doubt he'll come. Unless he follows in the footsteps of his very good friend Velios.

Any word on when the new jersey will be presented?

Almost impossible to tell where we will finish, after 1 friendly. Top 3 for sure tho should be our aim, not that it makes a difference from 2-5th as all teams qualify for the stupid play-offs. Interesting to see who starts as our CB's. Tzane, Kolo where immense last season, Arzo wont be able to just walk into the 11ada easily.
