js1000 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 torosidis has signed a 2.5 year contract with roma. long overdue in my opinion he should have left greece a few years ago . he links up with fellow countryman panagiotis tachtsidis
pao123 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 a great move, however, too late as js pointed out. at 27/28 he can still improve but he will never excel into the player he could have been. a move like this at 24 would have been ideal. roma is a good fit for him, although he might run into some trouble if zeman gets dismissed. always a risk transferring into a team when the managers job might be in jeopardy. i think he will do well there tho and establish himself into the 11 as long as he stays healthy. good luck to him, good news for the ethniki and his career. have always rated him
RED SHERIFF Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Roma would be a massive step down for him imo. Seria A, the way I see it, generally feeds off the scraps La Liga doesn't want. I think even Manolas is worth more than Roma. I watched around 5 games this season in Serie A, the quality amoung teams like Genoa, Hellas Verona and Udinese is tragic. The ball is usually ping ponging anarchically up and down the field. That is why Lazaros, Kone and Tatchsidis always look lost internationally imo. Seria A is not challenging enough for average players. don't you think our boys in the Serie A....play against better quality opposition than the 'international' quality they face v Hungary, Faroe, NI, etc....there is international quality and....international quality....
Greek Style Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Lol 66, you just bought back some painful memories of Joaquin running at Fyssas in Boavista! Amazing they never scored from one of those crosses.
RED SHERIFF Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I know you are a fan of Serie A....Regardless the fact is even the GSL players play at a much higher level week in week out to most of the opposition we face at NT level.....Latvia,Lithuania, Malta ,FI, Hungary,Israel. Moldova,..etc...a lot of these guys play at a level that is barely at G Ethniki...and not much pressure.. Too much is made of 'International Level"... Klaus scores in derbies has been prolific in Europe over the years...yet looks awful against NT minnows.
RED SHERIFF Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 i believe you confused my post...due to the fact i quoted your post. i rated your post and quoted it, because i agree with it. yes, most club sides from top leagues at europa cup level, can give any NT a stiff test. taking a youth and sending him to spain or italy at age 15 - the difference is negligable to me. as far as kpap, my feeling is that the top clubs in the world want defenders who can pass/keep possession. very rarely will they be on the back foot, defending deep with desperation. this is why i believe there haven't been overtures for sokratis. i believe they rate a sokratis as a fantastic defender, but not a complete 'total' footballer with attacking skills. NO..I understood your post...i just think my reply was sloppy.... i agree
Nikitas Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 benched the whole match yesterday , his replacement florenzi didnt really do better then toro usually do lately , he also missed a great chance inside the box who should have been on goal.
Nikitas Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 lets hope he starts but it seems that there is a good chance that cole will start. https://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=it&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.romacalcio.net%2Fsassuolo-roma-cole-in-vantaggio-su-torosidis-come-terzino-sinistro%2F1798358.html&edit-text=&act=url
Nikitas Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 agreed aek66 , in both matches he got ratings of 6's and/or 6,5's. i think it was a penalty also , his opponent tripped him but he probably overdid it when he felt. http://www.football-italia.net/65996/gasperini-genoa-believed
Nikitas Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 started ok yesterday but declined later on , his crosses never landed on the right place and didnt really go forward alot. defensive it wasnt alot better the 2nd half. the ratings by this roma site are even worse then i posted in the manolas topic. https://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=it&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.forzaroma.info%2F2015%2F05%2F09%2Fmilan-roma-2-1-le-pagelle-torosidis-e-de-rossi-honda-alzati-e-cammina-ibarbo-si-e-perso-a-malpensa%2F436524&edit-text=&act=url
Chris Tsamados Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Has just scored for Roma. A bit of a scrappy goal, toe poked passed the keeper (Karnezis). Loads of Greeks on display in this game. Torosidis, Manolas, Holebas, Karnezis, Kone. Good stuff. Wow Holebas just hit the cross bar!
Chris Tsamados Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Opps double post. Edited May 17, 2015 by Chris Tsamados
Nikitas Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 good for him scoring the winning goal , just what he needed. here some interviews with him. https://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=it&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.forzaroma.info%2F2015%2F05%2F17%2Froma-udinese-torosidis-partita-tosta-punti-importanti-vogliamo-vincere-contro-lazio%2F438723&edit-text=&act=url
Nikitas Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 worst roma player together with totti yesterday , so many dangerous give aways and got a yellow card after another drama queen act and for that he is banned their last match.
Nikitas Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 this article says that torosidis has clubs interested in him. not sure how big the chance is that he will leave. i guess florenzi has a little advantage over him. https://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=it&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.asromachannel.eu%2Fcalciomercato-roma%2Fcalciomercato-roma-interessa-mandi-potrebbe-partire-torosidis-45928&edit-text=&act=url
Nikitas Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 thats indeed what reports say. i dont know if they already signed a new right back but i think they already bought a left back. im curius wich cf roma will bring in. they need a forward who can scored at least 20 goals as scoring was roma's biggest problem.
Nikitas Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 bologna interested in torosidis. https://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=nl&sl=it&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tuttomercatoweb.com%2Fserie-a%2Fbologna-piacciono-torosidis-ed-hernandez-707217
Nikitas Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 this looks indeed more serious with bologna but still rumours but he is 31 so why not. like you said he will play alot of matches. hopefully at right back. https://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=nl&sl=it&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tuttomercatoweb.com%2Fserie-a%2Fbologna-nuovi-contatti-con-la-roma-per-torosidis-709705
Doxa Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I think Torosidis has become one of Rudi Garcia's favorite players. He can play on multiple positions and makes enough minutes even tough he was linked with a departure many times. He will stay as llong as the coach stays on that team. Living in a beautiful city and making enough minutes and money, everybody is satisfied.
Nikitas Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 roma is still looking for a more defenders including a fullback , in many articles i read that a transfer is still possible , bologna still being interested. i hope he can stay and show that they should keep him. this saturday he will be a starter at left back.
Nikod Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Dreadful defending...shame they keep using him at LB. he's more comfortable on the right obviously
Pistolero MTL Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Not even on bench. He will be gone before the 2nd imo
