georgelaz Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 forgive me if this a repost but I could not find his thread so I figured it might have got deleted! he's one of the NT's best players gotta be on the board! anyways wanted to note that he got an assist to De Rossi via a thundrous header saved by Buffon and rebound caught by De Rossi in a 3-1 Roma win against Juventus.
Argy Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Sad to see one of the most respected Greek players ever move to football's abyss in the prime of his career. He and Sokrati are Greece's biggest ambassadors, and now one of them will just disappear to Russia instead of moving to an even bigger club. Zenit plays in CL? Big deal! So they get a couple of games vs European teams at odd hours when no one is even tuning in. At this point, might as well sellout for even more cash in Saudi or China and be just as relevant.

Greekaroos Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Money talk$!!! He is probably going to a club with big European ambitions & lots of money to spend. I don't see him being in Russia for more than two years.
Rockafeller Skank Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Zenit has had much better european results than Roma. The Championship is much lower tier, but he is not going to a worse team.
Argy Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Roma is a bigger club than Zenit in every way shape and form.

A joke proving how onesided Serie A is. Neingolan, Dzeko, Manolas were seriously their only players I rated 2 last seasons. Pjanic too did the right choice to leave.

Bunlesiga is dominated by Bayern even more than Serie A is by Juventus, but German league is still revered.
Brklyngrk Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 The reason the German league is revered is because they have been doing really well in both CL and Europa. Their international teams have been winning tournaments, they have top class infrastructure (from stadiums to gyms) and they sell out every game. The rise in coefficient points is evidence of this, both in FIFA and UEFA.
Dean97 Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Manolas is apparently going to Russia to sign for Zenit. I don't know if this is true I hope it isn't. I was hoping he would sign for an English premier league team.
Rockafeller Skank Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 From 2000 and on Bundesliga has won no Europa League and has had a Finalist twice. Ukraine has the same stats in Europa with Bundesliga. Portugal has much better stats in Europa than Bundesliga. The Russian has better stats in Europa than Bundesliga. Nothing too good. Apart from Dortmund and Bayern the other German teams dont bring success. What I said was just about Rome Idk why you mentioned Bundesliga. Roma is poor as a team. Bad mamagement and no serious plan, for a team of their history and calibre. They re bad. They re , as you said, top 2-3 team in Italy, and look their European runs. Zenit has had much better runs. It really looks more than a fact than a personal Opinion. The Russian Championship is a downgrade from Serie A, but the team is the same level.
Argy Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Manolas did not show up to Russia today due to an apparent disagreement with Zenit. Hope this is true and he moves to a suitable league.
GreekLunatic Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 He wanted to Get paid in euros not Russian currency
Ellada2004 Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Chelsea have made 30 million bid for him, hopefully he ends up there.
pash Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Manolas has been "confirmed" to have "agreed terms" with like four clubs at this point. There's still a long way to go.
Ellada2004 Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Barca and Real Madrid are now in the running for Manolas. I personally would like to seee him end up at either club.
kbxk508 Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 I think Manolas and Soc at Juventus would be great. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DErFjIwXoAE2afq?format=jpg
georgelaz Posted July 18, 2017 Author Posted July 18, 2017 they just made a champions league final with 3 italian cb's though. bonnuci, barzaghli, and chiellini are just gunna dip?
Brklyngrk Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Bonucci is gone, his replacement is Benatia (who is the guy who Manolas replaced at Roma)...They also have an Italian cb who is young and the next big thing....the truth though is that barzaghli and chiellini are not young, both over 30, Barzaghli is 36), but they still will feature in most games..
Ellada2004 Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 He made a great play yesterday in CL vs Athletico Madrid, saving a sure goal of the line of the foot of Koke. 1
Dutch Eagle Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Just scored the opener with a header against Qarabag in GS CL. Almost HT and Roma leading 1-2. Edited September 27, 2017 by Dutch Eagle Vid added
