Kostas Lamprou ‒ Nac Breda

[Dutch Eagle]

Lamprou got his second clean sheet in a row. This time with a 0-1 away victory against Go Ahead Eagles.

[Dutch Eagle]

And again Lamprou without conceeding a goal (0-0). This time against FC Twente of Katsikas (who stayed on the bench). Don't know if he has ever had three clean sheets in a row before. Anyways, bravo Kosta!

[Dutch Eagle]

I'm amazed. Four in a row now for Lamprou. This time 0-0 away against PEC Zwolle, where Thanasis Karagounis plays but wasn't in the squad. 

[RED SHERIFF]

Karnezis and Kapino are clearly the top 2..

[Dutch Eagle]

After 4 matches someone managed to score against Lamprou: a teammate with an own goal 

It's up to Skibbe to decide. The man a decent. I don't see Kapino or Karnezis playing so can't tell. Being short is just a fact. But Messi is too, hahaha. And I know it is easier when you are 1.90 m. or taller.

[maggica]

You don't have to be tall to be a great goalie.  You can make up for it by having excellent reflexes, positioning, anticipation, ball distribution, and explosiveness.  You are at a disadvantage when it comes to crosses into the box, but you can still read the situation, be brave, and deal with it.

Costa Rican goalie Keylor Navas is less than 6 feet, and he's one of the best in the world.  We saw that first hand when he single-handedly beat us in the World Cup. Also, Dino Zoff, perhaps the best goalie in history, was less than 6 feet tall.

As for Lamprou, I suspect he's probably the 4th-5th best Greek goalie. As someone already stated, Karnezis and Kapino are clearly the top 2.  Glykos gets the nod over Lamprou, because he has several years experience with the NT. Dioudis and Barkas also seem promising.   I'm probably missing a couple other decent goalies.

Lamprou is negotiating with the board of Willem II to extend his contract that last until this summer.

Lamprou is doing well to the standards of a club like Willem II. He and his defenders only conceeded 21 goals in 19 games. Only the three traditional big shots in the Dutch league conceeded less goals. 

[Nikitas]

good for him , he is doing well over there and should stay with Willem II.

[Nikitas]

I thought he would stay but he decided not to renew his contract and will leave Willem II at the end of the season.

Another clean sheet for Lamprou away against Vitesse, the former club of Nikos Machlas.

[Nikitas]

^great result from willem II , i expected vitesse to win.

[Rockafeller Skank]

I guess he deserves a call up, After Karnezi and Kapino there is noone wow who deserves a call up, so why at least not get him in the squad to know him. We re also talking about a championship with minimum to 0 defence, him not conceading so much could mean something

[Dean97]

What about Glykos? The Giannina keeper looks impressive. Also Barkas should be given a shot. 

[RED SHERIFF]

Glykos is s%$#!

[Rockafeller Skank]

if we go by 3rd best keeper its gonna be the loanie of oly to panionios. he s done some decent saves but his defenders are very good, so stats can only tlak about defensive mechanism and not goalkeeper himself. thats why I believe this Lambrou guy deserves a call-up, coz Netherlands defenders are some puppets to fill the starting 11.

[Dutch Eagle]

Another clean sheet for Kostas Lamprou.

The Dutch Nova made a documentary about him (with a free translation): whatever it costs/Kostas:

[Dutch Eagle]

Last weekend another clean sheet for Lamprou.

In one of the major sport-newspapers (AD) Lamprou is third in the ranking for best player in the Netherlands.

[Nikitas]

now karnezis is injured , skibbe should call him up.

[Nikitas]

unbelievable that he wasnt called up. he was again man of the match yesterday grabbing a point for his team making 11 saves. willem II played 1-1 against groningen away.

once again politics plays a role into the sport. sad nothing has nor will it change.

[RED SHERIFF]

his lack of height kills him..

[Rockafeller Skank]

Wow just noticed his height. And there I was thinking Cillessen is a small man for goalkeeping. Looks like Lamprou is 12 cm and 19kg smaller.

[Argy]

5'9 for a keeper, that may or may not be exxagerated by an inch or two on paper, really hurts his chances of ever gaining the confidence of a bigger club or NT. The fact that he has made it this far in a respectable european league, coming from Greece and garnering the attention of a club like Feyenoord speaks volumes about his ability and tenacity.

It would be nice to see him called up as 3rd keeper by Skibbe though. Greece is not very deep with talent at that position.

Lamprou moved to Ajax as a free agent. He signed for one year as third/substitute keeper behind Onana and Van Leer.

[Argy]

Thought I would give Lambrou a mention. Backup goalie for Ajax, on the bench for their magical Champions League run and just won the Eredivisie. 

Greece have some good depth in the GK position, but how many would actually make and dress for this Ajax golden generation team? Credit to him.
