Dean97 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Yes we need some who can go forward and be dangerous aswell as be solid in defence. Torosidis and Seitaridis were both very good in attack and defence. The reason being is because they had high stamina and speed. They could contribute well by giving early crosses and support down the wing. They both were very good tacklers as well. Now to the players we have now like Kitsiou, Skondras and Bakakis. Kitsiou is the closest one out of the three that can take over Torosidis. But he is also a very long way aswell. Kitsiou can provide speed and stamina down the wing but is he that effective like Torosidis and Seitaridis? I don't think he is, I also don't think he is that good defensively either.

Rockafeller Skank Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 We have youth in Stafylidis, and Lykogiannis , and a promising Retsos. Worst case scenario would be to use a LB as a RB wouldnt it?
Dean97 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Retsos can play all across the back. He is fast and good in the air. He could be the next Manolas.
Nikitas Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 he returned back to full training and will be in bologna's squad this weekend. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=nl&sl=it&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tuttomercatoweb.com%2Faltre-notizie%2Fbologna-torosidis-e-sadiq-tornano-in-gruppo-verso-cagliari-929458
Nikitas Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 it was 0-1 for bologna against sampdoria untill toro made handball in the last 10 minutes and sampdoria scored the 1-1 from a penalty , the match even ended in a 3-1 victory for sampdoria. toro and oikonomou were one of the worst players of bologna. they arent doing well lately.
Nikitas Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 started as CB again together with oikonomou. bologna were 0-1 in front against genoa and were the better team untill torosidis grabbed red somewhere in the 75th minute. after that it went downwards and genoa even equalized in the 94th minute.
Nikitas Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 he has the flu so thats why he wasnt in bologna's squad yesterday. bologna lost 3-2 against atalanta.
paokarag4 Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 A rare start for Toro today, but he was sent off in first half stoppage time. They were already 2-0 up against Sampodoria at the time and managed to hold on for a 3-0 win
Boxou Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 he has not played well with bologna overall. several injuries and red cards. probably heading back to olympiakos on january..
Argy Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 On July 28, the 33 year-old Torosidis returned to Olympiacos after 5 years playing in Italy for both Roma and Bologna. It was time for a move back home where I think he can have another successful couple of years. I will keep this thread open a few more days before it is locked. 3
Alphonse Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 Well well well... I’m quietly curious to see his form in the GSL
Dean97 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 I don't know how he would fit in the team because Elabdeloui and Masouras have the right back position covered. Tsimikas and Koutris have the left as well as Hajisafi. He might play a different position now that he has gotten older. So we might see him in a CDM role. 1
Tzatziki Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 This might mean that Omar is on the way out, he has been with one foot out the door pretty much every transfer window. I have read that M. Silva is pretty keen on him, who knows, summer window far from closed right now.
georgelaz Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 all these moves that oly is making is looking good for the NT if they slide toro to cdm which we desperately need

Zeca and Samaris can hold the fort if they can get some relief in the form of ball possession from their teammates.
Dean97 Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 Fortounis and Mantalos can alternate their. Also we have Pelkas. What Skibbe should be doing is playing Fetfatzidis on the wing, that's for sure.
georgelaz Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 donis fortounis lazaros up top is great. alternatively we also go pelkas mantalos fetfa I think our CM/CDM is our biggest problem
Dean97 Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 I sort of understand why Lazaros would be first choice but I don't think it's should be set in stone. Fetfatzidis is by far the most talented in terms of skill, pace and dribbling. I don't think Lazaros is that good but I would still put him in the team. We also have Pelkas coming off a very good season.
georgelaz Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 lazaros was the best player of the greek superleague last season and carried AEK.
Dean97 Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 I know but with the national team he looks toned down for some reason.

Is the most gaping hole not our forward creativity and possession in the midfield? I like some of our attacking midfielders individually, but they have mostly been impotent with the NT. I think Donis should be one of the first names on the team sheet and Fetfa should be given some serious minutes and some room to adjust if called up. Fortounis, Mantalos and Pelkas have my support, but have never really matched up to their opponents' midfields, even ones that are weaker on paper. Time to close Toro Greeks Abroad thread. Any further discussions can be held in the Greek National Team or Olympiacos FC forums.
Dutch Eagle Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Torosidis retired right after winning the Cupfinal (and double) against AEK on September 12, 2020. Torosidis was capped 101 times for the National team and scored 10 goals.
