Dava-G Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Soares will be a solid substitute... assuming that we have a starting striker to team up with Lymbe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaggar Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Soares will be a solid substitute... assuming that we have a starting striker to team up with Lymbe.I think Soares will be playing in his normal position, right winger. The way I see it, he is coming to replace Lakis in the starting line up. He is fast and has good control of the ball, but he keeps the ball to long.

Yaniotis1 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Howcome nobody ever mentioned the signing of Spiros Gogolos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dava-G Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 He is fast and has good control of the ball, but he keeps the ball to long. My friend, I totoally agree. As an offensive player, he only had 4 goals last year... I believe. ONly having watched a few games of OFI, I saw him carry the ball, get stuffed and then NOT get back on defense. thats why I say a solid substitute. throw him up front where he can carry the ball and not have to play defense.
