Original Sydney Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Good to see new faces brought in, now lets see what they're about on the pitch. Maki's deal is still going on but will they get it done in time is the question, hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original 21 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 So we need a ton of players this offseason to actually have a shot of qualifying for the group stages of Europa League. 1. Goalkeeper: Baroja is on loan and I don't see enough in him to warrant buying him. I liked him a lot in the beginning of the year but he seems to have the same problem as Anestis with crosses. He's also older than Anestis, shorter, and is not as good of a shot stopper. I'd keep Anestis as a backup and buy an experienced and proven top quality Keeper. 2. Centerback: We need to get two. Kolovetsios has taken huge steps up this year and he can be a starter next year but other than him we have nothing. Arzo is garbage, and Labropoulos is average. I'd get one centerback that's faster, more experienced, and better than Kolovetsios to play next to him. I'd also get another one that's of similar quality to Kolovetsios for depth. I'd keep Tzanetopoulos as a 4th option and give him game time in the cup and against mediocre opponents to continue his development. 3. Left back: I like Didac a lot, but he seems to get a lot of yellow cards and misses games because of that, and he has a bad injury history. So, I would find a backup that's around the same level of him defensively. Soiledis is good offensively but if Didac gets hurt and we have a European game with Soiledis trying to defend we are in trouble. 4. Right back: We have Bakakis, Galo, and Vasiloantonopoulos, we have plenty of coverage here. 5. Midfield: We have Simoes Johanson Mantalos and Cordero here. We have plenty of starting quality. I would try go get Zuculini back, and another younger midfield for depth. He can be playing in the super league already. Some options: Siopis from Panionions, and Kourbelis from Asteras. 6. Wings: We only have Barbosa that's a true winger. We need at least one more winger that is similar a player to Barbosa, and then keep Vargas, and maybe Platellas as bench options. Along with the one winger, I'd make a huge push for Bakasetas that can play up top, on the wing, and behind the striker. 7. Strikers: The huge problem area. We need a gun up here. We need a player here that can do it all. Tall, quick, great ball control, great finisher, and great technique. We can't mess this one up, we need our own Berg style player. If we aren't going to splash the cash for a star striker then we need to make a push for Vellios because he has the potential to be this kind of player. We need anywhere between 6-8 good players to come so we can finish somewhere close to Olympiakos, and get into the group stages of Europe League and do decent there. All of these players, and Poyet to stay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Sydney Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Original I see Baroja staying, he hasn't done all that bad and if it wasn't for him we would've copped 3 on the weekend. The rest I agree with but I wont get my hopes up of seeing that many new faces, priority must be CB and ST departments, then wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Sydney Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Something aint right with Tzane, but he surely be starting of Arzo..... As for Mandalos I don't see him going anywhere anytime soon, still has a couple years left on his contract also so we cant lose him on a free. But if offers do start coming I can see them giving him a new contract with a new clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHE21QNS Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 We have all our players at great ages. We need to keep our core together and with some additions these players can push for the title in the next 1-3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Sydney Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Plenty of talk of us going for Vellios, what's everyone's opinion? I would've taken him last season. Also read they said that they had the chance to sign him before the season started and they said Dellas didn't want him, they said the same about Dellas with Berbatov, seems like they are shifting blame on Dellas to cover their own F*** ups....

Original Sydney Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Heard Oly mentioned to go for him also. Personally I think he is exactly what we need upfront, we miss too many chances and he is one that can change that. Time will tell.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Sydney Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 He would walk into any team that's for sure so whoever gets him will be lucky, I thought we would've made a play for him before the season started but wasn't to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george21 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) As much I believe our team needs a lot of work in order for us to become title contenders, the most important signing we could do is keeping poyet. If he was to leave, that would be a huge set back. Our players are dedicated to him and our squad have learnt his philosophy. Keeping poyet is the most important signing. But if we were to keep him, our main priority in the transfer market is signing a quality striker, an experienced center back and 2 wingers. I wouldn't mind barbosa starting next season, however we need to sign 2 more wingers, one as a starter and the other could be a starter or a back up to barbosa, apart from barbosa our wingers are poor.

Original Sydney Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Read this also Amo wont get my hopes up for this, would be great but is management willing to spend this window is the real question... We have been linked with a few players already but I wont be believing it unless I see the player holding our scarf/jersey in OAKA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dikefale11 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 We have also decided to keep Baroja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Sydney Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 El Arabi would be good he has a decent scoring record but will he suit us is the question we don't want to be signing players who don't suit our style. Few other names have been thrown around also, few guys in Greece reckon Bakasetas has signed with us already as he is an AEK fan also, but wont buy into that until its confirmed. Biggest concern is who the coach is going to be, no use buying players in my opinion. Baroja isn't a bad thing to keep him on, he has done well for us in many matches.

Original Sydney Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Yeah read his name a few times wouldn't be a bad thing but is he the right man for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Sydney Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Still would like to see what Ketsbaia would do at AEK, but that's gone quiet lately Edited May 5, 2016 by Original Sydney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Sydney Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Better to have the coach done then sign players, plus with the Euros on this may delay signings for teams unless they get in quick. After last season and the players we were linked with, I am sure there will be twice as many rumours this off season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
