Kostas Stafylidis ‒ Hansa Rostock

[Nikitas]

for the last 2 matches he is a benchplayer for augsburg. yesterday they lost 3-1 against eintracht frankfurt which they could have lost with 6-1. augsburg is still in the red zone and stafylidis is still they goalscorer i believe.

[pash]

The last I checked (which was a few weeks ago), he was in a multi-way tie for fourth, if you count all goals scored in the season. I doubt he'll end the year as their top scorer, especially if he continues not playing.

Augsburg in real trouble, as well.

[Nikitas]

here an article on why he could be benched.

This article also mentions something I'm seeing hit twitter - that Inter is interested. They're posed to make a lot of big buys for next season (as they're flush with that Chinese cash)...would be tough for him to break into that squad.

Though I'd rather he try that than play in the second division.

^yeah alot of players are linked with inter.

Started today in their 4-0 win vs Hamburg, they're six points out of the relegation zone at this point (35 points). Three clubs below them have 33 points apiece, and Ingolstadt Darmstadt are the bottom ranked clubs with 29 and 24 points respectively. One or two more wins should see them to safety.

hes a nice man

 

phil saw him in london

[pash]

During his Fulham days? What was Phil doing around there?

Playing today and having a great first half vs Dortmund today

[Antaeus7]

There's the man who will replace Tzavellas in the upcoming WFQ match against Bosnia. 

[pash]

A win would have guaranteed his team stays in the Bundesliga (they drew today, which is still a good result). One game left, bottom of the table looks like this:

 

13 Mainz 37

14 Augsburg 37

15 Wolfsburg 37

16 Hamburger 35

17 Ingolstadt 31

18 Darmstadt 24

 

Hamburg is in the relegation playoff space (16th), and are coincidentally playing #15, Wolfsburg, on the 20th. A draw or loss by Hamburg will guarantee Augsburg stays in the top flight. If Hamburg wins, Augsburg will need to draw or win vs Hoffenheim (which is a tall order, considering their form this season - they're tied with Dortmund at 61 points).

 

 

I feel Stafylidis is one or two good seasons away from a move to a good team, staying in the top tier will go a long way towards his development and exposure.

[pash]

Not sure how he managed it from that angle (and with the left foot), but scored today in a friendly vs Middlesbrough

 

[Dean97]

What a player he is. He is the future captain of Greece.

[Argy]

Just went to Stoke City on loan for the rest of the season.

[pash]

Good move IMO, assuming he gets time. Stoke is terrible, if Stafylidis has his head on straight then he should be able to get some much-needed time.

[pash]

Starting today in what might be his first game with Stoke, vs Leicester. They're currently 0-1 up with 40 to go.

[paokarag4]

Saw the game he did pretty well up against Mahrez. Nothing spectacular but first up he didn't look out of place won a few tackles. Let's see if he can string a run of games together. Game ended 1-1 after a Stoke goalkeeper error. Leicester hit the woodwork twice in the last 15 mins

[pash]

That was a hell of an error, as well. I thought Leicester would continue to score after that. Stoke looked rattled.

he had played previously as a sub against bournemouth.

[Argy]

Stafylidis signed a contract with 1899 Hoffenheim until 2024 that will go into effect on July 1. Pretty good move going to an ambitious club who are still battling for a spot in the Europa League next season.

For EL qualification, Hoffenheim hope that Frankfurt lose to Bayern Munich and Augsburg, who Stafylidis still plays for, beat Wolfsburg over the weekend. So some added motivation for Kostas if he wants European football next season.

Let’s hope he goes ok with injuries, it’s a very saw sore season for him
