Antaeus7 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I like to see him play in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekoz Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Considering where he currently is in his career a move to the red bulls would be a good thing, they are the best team in mls this season, they seem to play a high energy pressing game so any laziness won't be tolerated, let's see if he can take this seriously if it's true.

Bananas Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I think his prospects would improve if he had a shave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethnikos Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Nikod, he's likely going to be playing in the United States. He's been in New York for months now and it is rumoured he'll sign with New York Red Bulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgelaz Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) If he plays in MLS I would not be opposed to him playing for the ethiniki again. Gignac is playing Mexican league right now and scored against Germany this week for France. MLS is better than the Scottish league is now IMO anyways. Drogba, Kaka, Pirlo, Villa - even at their 30s are great players. Edited November 15, 2015 by georgelaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Tsamados Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Looks like he might sign with Cosmos. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/11/14/new-york-cosmos-chief-hopeful-over-georgios-samaras-deal/ Plus it also mentions he is still rehabilitating from his back injury, which is the reason he failed the medical with Sampdoria. Not because he was just unfit as people on here were saying. It says he close to getting back to full fitness, hopefully once he is he'll sign to a decent club and start bolstering Greece's woeful attack!

Greeko Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 This guy will be at PAO soon! Good luck to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tsamados Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Unfit has only one clear definition. When he gets back to full fitness, he's still a year away from getting into typical Samaras shape, which is to say shyte. Done and dusted. Good luck wherever you go, Sammy, you had your moments. No it doesn't he was basically injured which is why he failed the medical. Unfit would be someone who couldn't perform due to being out of shape.

MykinesFC Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It is clearer now based on the various reports from the last few weeks that he was in NYC since August rehabbing and getting treatment for a back injury. One Greek report mentioned a specific hospital. During this time he was also training with the Cosmos and seems to have made a good impression on the team's management. According to the Greek sports websites he was in Thessaloniki last weekend. That much is fairly certain. The rest is speculation. I would be surprised if he ended up anywhere in January. The rumor mill would have been going strong by now if he was healthy enough to play. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED SHERIFF Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 how much would the Cosmos pay him? what standard of football is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doxa Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Whats the obessesion with this guy? He wants to live in New York and this team will pay him more then a MLS team. In Europe nobody rates the MLS so nobody cares if he plays in a MLS or a 2nd League team in the USA. Leave the guy alone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tsamados Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I don't think he'll sign for Cosmos, he's simply there to attend a nearby hospital and train with them to get his fitness levels back up. Once his rehabilitation is finished I should imagine he'll start looking for a new club again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greekaroos Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Lost the hunger of being a professional footballer IMO. Played & scored goals in the Dutch Eredivisie, EPL, SPL, Europa League, UCL which included big money deals with Manchester City & Glasgow Celtic where he won trophy after trophy. About 80 caps for Greece which included playing in two UEFA Euro & two FIFA World Cup tournaments scoring in the Euro 2012 QF against Germany & famously took Greece to the last 16 of the Brazil 2014 FIFA World Cup by winning & scoring the penalty in stoppage time to beat Ivory Coast 2-1. He has been a professional footballer not only from the age of 16 away from home in the Netherlands but grew up in that environment where his father was also a professional footballer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MykinesFC Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) So it looks like the back problem is still an issue based on the stories Nikitas posted. If the NY Cosmos, a 2nd tier US team, doesn't want to take a chance then who would? With no news from the Greek press it doesn't look good for Samaras.
