A source close to him had been quoted as saying that the former Inter hit-man is more interested in hanging out barefoot in the favellas flying kites with neighbourhood kids.

Think about it...this is a player that struggled to be fit for - and score in - the NASL. There's something fundamentally wrong going on here. Personally, I think he's just lost the will. I give it a 50% chance that he's just going to retire. Sad, he had some good moments and so much potential.

He's 31... 32 in Feb still has time to offer something, hope gets something going for Jan 

No, he truly doesn't. He's failed at every club he's joined since the world cup. There's definitely something going on with this guy.

It's well and truly over.  The next world cup is closer than the previous one.  Sometimes it just takes a while for the thought to sink in.

Samaras hasn't yet accepted that the hunger of being a professional footballer at a high level is gone & all the sacrifices he had to do from a very young age has caught up with him. It doesn't get better than scoring a goal at a FIFA World Cup tournament in stoppage time which took Greece to the knockout stage for the first time. He has played in two FIFA World Cup tournaments, two UEFA Euro tournaments, He won many domestic trophies with Glasgow Celtic, played many UEFA Champions League matches, play in the EPL with Man City & West Brom. He has experienced playing in the Gulf & the USA. At 31 or 32 years of age he has his whole life in front of him & a lot of catching up to do in life from all the sacrifices he did from what a 17 or 21 year old would be doing like surfing, nightclubbing, woman etc instead of having to go to sleep early to get up for training, be on a strict diet, miss most family events. Football did give him fame & fortune, met famous people & visited places he probably wouldn't had he not reached where he did but I think that hunger to train hard is gone.

The incredible player has signed for a Segunda Division side. Not a bad move for him considering where he was previously...
