lets hope he gets some playing time

[Euro2004]

Well for them to go for him in a loan move i'm sure he'll get some playing time, let's hope he develops

[js1000]

decent loan spell with kaiserslautern made 16 league starts, 20 appearances in total.

[Euro2004]

Any idea on how he performed?

hopefully he doesnt pull a tachtsidis..

[Akritis_1944]

Looks like he is in good company though.

Becks, Goo-Rooney and Giggs love dem prossies as well!

[Euro2004]

Petsos (who is now at Kaiserslautern, can one of the mods change it please? ) played 90 mins in their 3-1 win over Mainz at the weekend.

Fortunis also came on in injury time as a sub

[pao123]

i think his rights are still owned by leverkusen and he is just on loan to kaiserslautern. can anyone confirm this?

[js1000]

i think petsos is on the verge of joining newly promoted Greuther Fürth on a 3 year deal and will continue his career in the bundesliga

They are decent. Mitroglou is being linked with them too

[pao123]

greuther are in last place in the bundesliga and will most likely be relegated.  petsos has appeared in 9 matches starting 5 but scored an absolute cracker of a freekick this weekend in their 2-2 tied away to werder, playing a full 90.  he played opposite sokratis who also featured for the full 90.    the guy is only 21, so hopefully still room for improvement.  

[pao123]

signed a 3 year deal at Rapid!

[Nikitas]

forgot about the guy , good to see that he still plays regulary for them , to bad rapid didnt win. hopefully they do next match.

[Doxa]

What does De Boer and Ajax failures have to do with Petsos?

[PanaTO]

Caught the last 30 minutes of Rapids game against shaktar and petsos looked very good. Was spraying passes everywhere took free kicks and almost put rapid through with a free kick that was saved in the last minute.

Hopefully, he gets some game time with the ethniki

[Doxa]

Good player maybe someone will notice him after the group stage of the EL.

[Pontos]

I remember reading Vryzas spoke to him a season or two back but nothing come of it. I'd like to have a player like him next to Kace instead of Tziolis

[PanaTO]

I hear would like this guy in a PAO shirt as well

Signs for Panathinaikos :P

[maggica]

^you put my hopes up for a second. We could use such a player

[Ethnikos]

Amorgos I couldn't agree more, who needs a 24 year old talented, inform, creative, Greek center midfielder when you have Essien?

[Doxa]

This would be a good player for any club in Greece except Olympiakos.

Instead they let him leave Greece because they prefer to spend money on players like Essien, Simoes, Noboa, Maduro, Zeca and all the other s**** that walks around the Greek league.

These teams destroyed Greek talent and the Greek league thats why they never sell any Greek players only Olympiakos knows what its doing.

[PanaTO]

Yup you got it right Goebels

[Pontos]

While usually I would agree, I think Petsos was hesitant to play in Greece. He is a product of German football, when the time came for him to consider playing outside of Germany I'm sure Greece popped up as a potential destination but with all the politics one can't blame him for going to play in Austria.

But you're right, I would've loved to have a player like him instead of cameo appearances by Noboa, Natcho and Maduro.
