AEK Transfer Talk

[Tzatziki]

Sport-fm reporting that Lazaro and Lescott are close to transferring to AEK.

[Original Sydney]

I heard Oly was after Lescott and were also close to him? Not sure if I am keen on him, he has gone from bad to worse last couple seasons

Lazarus at this stage isn't a bad option since we have no Barbosa and left it late to get a replacement

[Original Sydney]

Nick as good experience he had he hasn't got it anymore, but Ketsbaia did say be wanted a left footed CB in an article I read and he is just that, let's see what happens.

Reports saying Lazarus on his way to Athens also 

[Dikefale11]

Disappointed in the Lescott signing, who will he start ahead of? Kolovetsios it seems.

I'd take Lazaros at this late stage of the window. Good singing with good experience in SL and abroad.

 

[Original 21]

Lescott will do fine in the Super League, it's a much easier league than the EPL obviously and the players he had around him at Villa were pure garbage. Ketsbaia wanted a left footed CB, and we got one. Complete the signings of Lazaros and Lescott, and then a quality CM and we are in a good position to compete for the title.

[Tzatziki]

Have not seen Lescott lately, but I think Lazaro will do very well if he has a chance to find form with consistent starts. 

[Original Sydney]

The only reason I can see lescott doing well is because the pace of the game in Greece will be better for him, time  tell.

Lazaros has pace to burn so not a bad signing plus at this stage there aren't too many others we could get.

 

could be worse signings so all is not bad.

[Dikefale11]

I just hope Lescott comes to play ball and not to sip in frapedes.

[Dikefale11]

Lazaros has passed the medicals and is on his way to the offices to sign!

A good signing and also Greek which is always a bonus imo.

[Original Sydney]

Question now with these 2 additions is can we make a real title charge this season? Still need a DM as back up even though I do rate Galanopoulos.

This squad has talent in all positions 

[Dava-G]

We only challenge if the protathlima is clean. Otherwise we just challenge for Europe. 

[Nikod]

Lescott is a bizarre signing

[Dikefale11]

Pescara looking at Lescott now.

[Original 21]

Lazaros signed officially. Welcome. 

[Original 21]

Lescott coming to Athens to take a medical and sign a two year deal.

[Original Sydney]

Lazaros will be good for us, his pace will help us a lot going forward and he is an experienced player, better to have him than no one after we lost Barbosa.

Lescott, as much as I don't rate him the only good thing I see is having him and Chygrynsky at the back we have a ton of experience and we wont see the usual school boy mistakes we saw in the past. Yes Lescott has been very average in England of late but I think the only thing in his favour here is the pace of the game is much slower so he should adapt easy and not have too many problems.

[Original 21]

We are gonna make a last minute push for Zuculini, and I heard a rumor about signing Scocco on deadline Gia na trelathoune oloi... Obviously I'd love to have both come in, but Zuculini is wayyyyyyy more important. 

[Original Sydney]

Would be mad if Zuculini does come back, then we have depth all over. As for Scocco another 10 years will go by and our media will still be talking about him. Ok he had a massive impact at AEK but that was years ago, will he even have the same impact at his age?

[Original Sydney]

Exactly what I am thinking Nick, it can be good or it can be very terrible, time will tell.

[RED SHERIFF]

If Lescott is healthy and Fit he will be very good...

A lot of points are dropped every year by simple school boy errors at the back...not just AEK...But Paok, PAO, etc..against average opposition....the number of points dropped by the bigger teams v lower teams through errors is amazing..

[Koro]

Its great seeing all the Rangers fans on twitter fuming at Lescott for choosing AEK over them.

[Original 21]

We'll see what happens with Lescott, I think he will do a lot of good for the team, especially for Kolovetsios learning from Chygrinsky and Lescott. Kolovetsios is talented but he needs an experienced player next to him at all times, in every friendly his performance would drop significantly when Chygrinsky wasn't next to him. 

As for Scocco I don't know if I trust my source on this one, the source told me that he would only be signed if we get a CM first. We are going to have trouble unlocking defenses so Scocco would be very useful, and I don't think he will pull the prima Donna bullshit on this team because we have a serious management at the top and he will be paid. 

[Dikefale11]

Zuculini gone to Ray Vallecano in the Spanish 2nd division...

[Nikod]

Scocco would be a great signing at 31 guys come on!!

Even if he's not as good as he was in his prime, he still has that combination of trickery and direct aggressive attacking play that we lack in one player.

Our team is either platellas or almeidas. No one in between. if that makes sense.

[Original 21]

Lescotts contract is only for 350,000 euros a year plus bonuses if we win the league or make Europe or win the cup, according to Spor fm. So there goes the theory that he's only here for the money.
