Grigoris Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 The transfer period is quickly coming to a close and we still have a number of Greek players who have yet to find a team. Moreover, several leagues have either already started (France, Germany, Scotland) or are about to start (England). Potential key members of our NT are missing important club training and, even worse, are running the risk of not finding a team for the upcoming fall. The following players are still looking for teams. Does anyone know the current status: Dellas - last I hear he is rumored to be close to signing with AEK Fyssas - close to signing with Hearts in Scotland Kyriakos - close to signing with Schalke Tsiartas - ??? Dabizas - ??? (I know he has fallen out with the NT, but still curious where he will go. Deals with Anderlecht and Celtic fell through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korisos Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 One word my man AGE i don't really think so. dellas age 28-29, soto 25-26dellas has lots of teams interested in him Fyssas i'm confident will join hearts, same for soto/schalke one player not listed is Basinas, he's the one i'm really worried about last year post-euro several players left greece, this year it's not the same situation, they don't have the same kind of exposure.

evalagoal Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 One word my man AGE i don't really think so. dellas age 28-29, soto 25-26dellas has lots of teams interested in him Fyssas i'm confident will join hearts, same for soto/schalke one player not listed is Basinas, he's the one i'm really worried about last year post-euro several players left greece, this year it's not the same situation, they don't have the same kind of exposure. Ok...... If you look at the list you'll see that the players haven't really performed since the Euro. They've actually been a bit dissapointing. They have either been hurt or have done nothing for their team.If you and I were a player it would be difficult to find another team that would be interested in us. These guys are going over the hill, and if they don't start producing no-one is going to be interested in them (abroad) and their last resort will be to come back to Greece. A good example is Stelios Giannakopoulos..... He played great for Bolton last year and now he's been linked to Liverpool. Yeah there's alot of red tape now with him making this move but it's something that Liverpool looked at and said that this player can play and was "consistent through-out the year"... Know what what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korisos Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 actually last season stelios started out very poorly and even big sam was criticising him but as the season wore on he got much better and became a very important player. i see your point about players need to be consistent like tsartas who's looking for a club and charisteas and Giourkas have pissed me off since euro they're not consistent at all. it also depends what kind of players the coach likes that's how charisteas ended up in ajax even though he sucks but now yes some of them are getting over the hill.

Grigoris Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yes, I forgot about Basinas. Any definitive word on him? Some reports say that he is going to ride out the next six months with PAO and then go somewhere on a free transfer. That basically means six months of no action for him. Also, can anyone confirm that Vryzas has returned to Fiorentina and will be on their roster for the upcoming season? I believe the Fyssas deal with Hearts has been confirmed today. On the other hand, the last report I saw regarding Kyriakos is that the deal with Schalke is not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korisos Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 yes Vryzas has returned to Fiorentina and Fyssas signed w/ hearts soto/schalke fell through because it's too complicated does this mean basinas will at least get to train with pao? to keep himself in top shape i mean, like dellas/aek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyTheGreek Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Basically they hardly ever produce anything when they're transferred (occasionally they screw up on purpose just to get back to Greece), and a lot of them go for the quick paycheck, for which I don't blame them. But it makes the market worse for younger Greek players who would love the opportunity to play abroad. I think Stelios has proven to be the most cost-effective player at Bolton; although Demis got a few goals in at Atletico when he was paired with Torres--they were a great strike team for a while.
