Giannoulis has requested to go out on loan for the remainder of the season. That would be a good move. Crespo keeps getting the nod ahead of him, and during the last cup game Ivic had Deligiannidis start over him.
I like the guy and think he's a solid player. I just wonder how frustrated he is/will be.
When we had Tziolis, Kace played more like a #8 than a #6 (perhaps out of necessity?). Will be interesting to see him in a midfield full of mobile players.
It seems we're getting Kace back from loan, and Ivic/Michel have decided to keep him with the team. If he doesn't get a lot of playing time, I think we can anticipate future problems with the player.
His main company, Agrocom, posted 712mm EUR in earnings this year. Last year, earnings of just over 1 billion EUR. Not sure what their actual *profit* was, but I thought this was worth sharing as I had no idea his company was at this scale.
Think about it...this is a player that struggled to be fit for - and score in - the NASL. There's something fundamentally wrong going on here. Personally, I think he's just lost the will. I give it a 50% chance that he's just going to retire. Sad, he had some good moments and so much potential.
Kind of interesting, regarding the scouting department. Seems we had some of these guys on our radar before the individual TDs came in.

I thought Skondras could have helped too.
To me, Konstantinidis seems much more frail than Kitsiou. But perhaps that was due to our team's clearly barbaric training methods. I think he's been fine so far this season, while on loan.
