after starting in 3 official matches this season he didnt scored a goal yet. this weekend benfica could not win at home against setubal and thats a problem. jonas is injured and will be back in 2 weeks or so. normally its jonas and mitro up front with jonas in a free role so i expected that jimenez would get the role of jonas so they are more dangerous but the coach play with mitro as alone forward.

seems he will be 3th CB for now. he didnt started in the cup match the weekend and didnt came on also. lets hope he gets enough minutes to show different.

didnt started yesterday but came in early in the 2nd half and according to the ratings he did ok. bologna won with a late goal 1-0 against crotone.

^yes he is still at charleroi but he is injured for a while now and i dont know how long he will be out.

actually he was on the bench every match so far. apart from that guzan spilled more then 1 ball and almost conceded a second after a bad save. dimi should indeed get a chance. its weird. first match was valdes 1st choice and dimi 2nd. second match valdes is out and guzan is 1st and dimi again 2nd. makes no sense to me.

friday he started in the german cupmatch against ravensburg. means he probably is a starter in the league. augsburg won with 0-2. he assisted the 0-1. https://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.augsburger-allgemeine.de%2Fsport%2Ffc-augsburg%2FEinzelkritik-Spielerisch-ganz-ordentlich-aber-id38844257.html&edit-text=&act=url

wasnt in udinese's squad because he was injured.

lost his starting spot since he didnt score after 3 matches. his rival right away scored 2 goals within 12 minutes against club brugge. kortrijk won with 2-1.

friday charleroi grabbed an important point against liege away. good result. they played 0-0 and ninis got subbed off after an hour or so. probably not because he played bad but because ninis is an AM and they were happy with a point. they are second at the moment after 4 matches conceding only 1 goal and scoring 3.

the soap continue's. after the first choice forward of forest picked up an injury after 15 minutes he was subbed and vellios came on. it was 1-1 at that moment. forest eventually won with 4-3 but he still could not find the net , he even missed a penalty in the 61th minute. seems the fans already had it with him. he will be 3th or even 4th choice soon i think. http://www.nottinghampost.com/thomas-lam-clinches-dramatic-4-3-win-for-nottingham-forest-over-wigan-athletic/story-29638799-detail/story.html http://www.flashscore.com/match/Que3nxHg/#match-summary

not a good moment to be injured. he needs to get fit fast. he is being linked with bologna. https://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=it&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tuttomercatoweb.com%2Fserie-a%2Fbologna-idea-torosidis-della-roma-se-parte-mbaye-867441&edit-text=&act=url

apoel offered lazaros a 3 year deal with 400k salary but lazaros asks 500k. more talks will probably continue soon. https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&nv=1&rurl=translate.google.nl&sl=it&tl=en&u=http://www.hellas1903.it/calciomercato/lazaros-apoel-nicosia-accordo-vicino/&usg=ALkJrhjQIhQUnwbnb7jf5DXsUeGNfCJZNg

linked with sampdoria. https://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=it&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tuttomercatoweb.com%2Fserie-a%2Fsampdoria-idea-oikonomou-del-bologna-per-la-difesa-866816&edit-text=&act=url

was given a starting spot again and played the full match this tuesday. but again no goal and wasnt dangerous also i read. forest lost 1-0 against brentford. so no goal in pre-season and no goal in 2 league matches(1 match where he came on later) and one full cup match. most of us expected this but forest isnt really a team to compete for promotion at the moment.

last weekend he made his debut for Nice against stade rennes. he came on after a hour and a minute later Nice scored the 1-0 and won the match. they missed a couple of players.

in addition to the rumours of zenit and middlesbrough is that samaris had pointed out that he is only interested in teams that fight for the championship but most important is that he dont want to leave benfica. he is happy there and very important for the team. they have a busy schedule with the league , CL and cup. he will get enough minutes i believe. and to zenit he wont go i think and it looks like witsel will stay at zenit.

he turned down an offer by torino. looks like he wants to leave italy. as captain of the ethniki he should find a team asap. http://www.football-italia.net/89943/roma-torosidis-rejects-torino-castan

^ i agree that he should stay in the serie a. last month his agent talked about interest from the epl and that he was gonna travel there for talks , who knows he ends up there. i dont know if the primera division will suit him.

he still havent found a new team and will continue to train with the u21's of sunderland. i thought his contract ended at the end of june this year but it will expire next year. if he dont find a team soon it will be 4 wasted seasons in a row. http://www.transfermarkt.com.hr/charalampos-mavrias/profil/spieler/136647

played the whole match yesterday evening in a cup match against doncaster away. forest won 1-2 but vellios remains dry. i read that he had a low shot and a header that went over the bar. http://www.nottinghampost.com/doncaster-rovers-1-nottingham-forest-2-match-report/story-29602677-detail/story.html

^playing mandalos and karelis(or other players) as wingers or out of position hasnt do us any good last year. we better play with 2 attacking midfielders who can switch positions instead of that. so or 2 forwards with mitro as deepest or with 2 attacking midfielders and 1 forward if we play with 4 defenders.

played a very poor match today. lost almost all duels and didnt had a shot on goal. yes they played aa gent who are playing for the title but he was invisable and there was no chemistry between him and the rest of the team. he got subbed off in the 68th minute. genk lost the match with 1-0 in extra time. apart from that genk as a whole didnt really played good but they were more dangerous after he was subbed.

as expected he started on the bench today. his rival cf scored 2 goals in a 4-3 victory over burton albion. vellios didnt saw the field. like i explained before he was poor in pre-season and didnt score a goal.

he right away made his debut again for torino today. he played the second half against hull city. first half was 1-1 and second half torino won with 2-1.

will be back for tomorrows supercup match togehter with jonas who also returned. https://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=nl&sl=pt&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fabola.pt%2Fclubes%2Fver.aspx%3Ft%3D3%26id%3D624907
