  1. They dont want to. The a-league is almost the step after the middle east/asia point of these big name players careers. Look at the history of the big names who have come to the aleague. Robbie fowler 34-35, gallas 36-37, Even del pieiro who was a HUGE signing name wise came at 38.

    These players perhaps with the exception of Del piero go to the aleague when they cant get the money/offer they want in Asia/middle east and are very desperate to scrap another year or 2 of professional football. Even Luis Garcia who has now signed for Central coast is 36-37? And hasnt played professionally in like 2 years. 

    Occasionally in modern football we will see a european based player who is money hungry go to the middle east chasing cash far before he is in the twilight of his career. Assomah Gyan, Weiss, Stoch are a few who spring to  mind, and we all know the story with Samara and Fetfa. That will never happen in the aleague, not enough $$ to lure those sorts

  2. personally i never rated him that highly. He is quick and he works hard, can't pick a pass. can't really dribble. Not really the smartest of players (sometimes will slide tackle when he shouldnt but he has improved this part of his game to his credit) Which is fine he is a kofti and he has improved the last few years. But for me Cimirot and Xarisi seem to be better "footballers" that's not to say Kace doesn't have place in the squad. But when the other two offer similar hustle and are better on the ball, why wouldn't you be playing them? 

    SUB: Xarisi for Maleza
    Tzioli goes to center back. Any idea if was an injury that forced stelio off?

  3. according to reports the pacey and dynamic xarisi and cimirot (left out of the squad, to be "rested") are going to be replaced by the slow (tzioli) and not so techincal (kace) interesting to see what effect that will have on the rest of the team I'm betting we will be a little slower and lack a touch of creativity. Should still be enough to beat Veria but we will see. 
    Tzavella also missing because of cards.
    Reported line up
    ------Melissa---------
    Skondra-----Vitor-----Maleza----Mistakidi/Korovesi
    Jairo-------Kace-------Tzioli---------Mak
    ------Klaus-----------Berba

    Apparently it will be a 4-4-2

  4. Pelkas plays most games for us. He does have talent but needs work. At times he can be a little too selfsh and try to do too much on his own. He is not a winger, he's an attacking midfielder, play him in behind the striker. He's not starting XI material yet for the ethniki, he should probably be making the 23's but with guys like Kone and Fortouni ahead of him in the pecking order I don't see him starting as the "dekari" at least to start the qualifiers off anyways. As we go his form with us and what he shows coming off the bench for the NT will dictate him starting or not
