NYC_Olympiakos Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I think Olympiakos is taking the right step to sucess. The reason being Rivaldo is only two years removed from a great world cup run and he is still 32 which means u still posseses the talents that made him great. It all about his mind set at this point and i think he is hunger b/c he hasn't really played since then and wants to make an impact again. If things go well this will only make Greek football stronger attracting more talented foreign players to play in Greece. As for the Nikopolidis signing is tremdous i mean he played very well at the Euro's is at age 33 but at goal keeper thats not bad. His experience makes up from some of his diminish talents. The Argentian defender is really the key b/c thats where my worry lies most, that is really my only question mark. As for the Okkas signing its a great deal he is 27 at his prime and i think he will flourish. The rest of the signings were young player that have potential some for this year some for the years to come. this is wut i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasili0s Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Insisting a player has passed his prime at the age of TWENTY FRICKIN SEVEN in combination with the fact he barely played last season and played out of position, shows us who REALLY doesnt know WTF he is talking about.

bar7 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 okkas isn't past his prime at 27... but any ex paok player rarely does anything after paok in greece anyway...eg georgiadis , kafes, kostantinides etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakos13 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 okkas isnt finished. thats ridiculous. every striker has an off season - even when theyre young or in prime age. look at Raul- he was pitiful this year Lybe- had a crappy season with PAO then the next was leading scorer Owen- been in one for like 2-3 years :lol: Konstantinou had one Charisteas this year was lousy for Bremen... Okkas had one last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pao123 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 charisteas was not lousy...he rarely played, but when the coach put him in he scored....im not saying a player is past his prime at 27, im saying OKKAS is past his best football...read my post so you copuld know "WTF" im talking about...

Vasili0s Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 wait...27 is prime for okkas?? not now-a-days..he passed fhis prime..it was when he was at paok My reading comprehension is fine file, thanks. I'am also talking about OKKAS. I can see how someone can say Rivaldo is passed his prime, as he is already 32 and hasnt played football in some seasons. But in the football of today, it doesnt mean much. Shall I point at Giovanni and this past season? Look at our ETHNIKARA and the median age. Obviously, just because Okkas didnt put together a decent season doesnt mean we wont be seeing him playing the way he did a few years back.

GS1905 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Okkas had a terrible season cuz he wasn't actually played in his own position in AEK. But you seem to forget a critical thing my dear Olympiakos fans. Baievic coached AEK last year and he was the man who placed Okkas out of his position. So when you consider that there's a fast Castillo, leader Giovanni and a somewhat helpful Rivaldo, i see no place for that little man from Cyprus. His only chance is the departure of Houtos, but i don't think he will make the cut into the team. The one & only great signing that Olympiakos made this season is Francisco Schurrer. He played a big big role in Sociedad's drive for La Liga two seasons ago and was probably the most consistent player along with Nihat. And Olympiakos needed smo to help a future-sparkling Vallas with his ability and experience. Schurrer could well be the perfect answer... He's way better than Anatolakos anyway!!!
