Akritis_1944 Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 ARTICLE ON KATSOURANIS - CHELSEA http://www.fansfc.com/frontpage/frontpagen...p?newsid=179488 O M....A....L....A....K....A.....S I dislike Chelsea with a passion, but if it's true then Katsou is either a man of principle and should be respected or a blameno! Who would turn down such a massive move?!?!!?anyway, Katsouranis would never go to an Italian team because his name would be the subject of ridicule. CAZZU=psola!
Olympiakara10 Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 He would grab bench on Chelsea anyway but it would have been cool to have the first Greek to play for a prominent club in the Premiership.
paxiotis7 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 its better for the ethniki if katsou doesnt go to chelsea. Hell be lucky to play in cup games.
DUDE Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Katsouranis' run in the UEFA Cup came to an end as Getafe beat Benfica 1-0 to win 3-1 on agg.
Guest TheLegend Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 He would grab bench on Chelsea anyway but it would have been cool to have the first Greek to play for a prominent club in the Premiership. ukraine can also brag about shevchenko...but hes limited to reserve games... that chelsea cant win
Euro2004 Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 According to Goal.com Katsouranis wants to leave Benfica in the summer.
paxiotis7 Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Thats good, Benfica are too small of a club for him imo... He can play in a top team in spain or italy. How much do you think his price tag will be?
plato-ny Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 According to Goal.com Katsouranis wants to leave Benfica in the summer. I've read that Villareal and Werder Bremen are interested in him
Euro2004 Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I've read that Villareal and Werder Bremen are interested in him Yes but apparently he's homesick and could go back to AEK
Guest TheLegend Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 If he came back to Greece especialy to aek , no offense, hed be stupid. He should be playing in the CL if not the bare minimum be going far in the uefa cup.
Genome Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Yeah, something to do with him having a kid now etc and wanting to spend more time with the wife and kid ... however his contract won't be over this summer, and the asking price to let him go would be 10 million euros, something no Greek team can afford on one player, meaning the only plausible solution would be to get him on loan.
MadBoy13 Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 katsouranis scored on 26' benfica winning 2-0 on 89'
paxiotis7 Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 He should go to another, bigger club. IS there still any beef with him and lusicao?
levendi2000 Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 shocking tournament from katsouranis.. it was as if he didnt want his hair messy.. any rumours on the transfer market?? surely he wont stay at benfica?
Guest TheLegend Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 what team would wana play 6mil + for him after how shitty he played.
Guest TheLegend Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 shocking tournament from katsouranis.. it was as if he didnt want his hair messy.. any rumours on the transfer market?? surely he wont stay at benfica? i recently read where katsouranis wants out of benfica because direct airline service between lisbon and athens has been cut. - just bizarre. he's certainly made a focul point of himself recently - fight with teammate on the pitch (not as good as the bowyer-dyer fight)/negative comments about greek league/atrocious euro preformance/upset at lack of direct lisbon-athens flights. we have seen otto use this player in various postions, from a centerback, a sweeper, a defensive holding midfielder and a central midfielder playing box to box. as par for otto's course, otto's favorite position for this player (defensive holding midfielder) is katsouranis' worst position on the pitch. poor tactically (positioning and off-the-ball skills), panicky/mindless clearances, poor distribution/decision-making and failure to track runners aren't the exact criteria for a defensive holding midfielder. if katsouranis is worth 4-5 million euro, then mehmet aurelio is worth 20 million and marco senna is worth 35 million. i think katsouranis can be useful as a box to box central midfielder. if not, maybe his future is as a central defender. the key spot of defensive holding central midfielder, should not be katsouranis' position. i think he's been pathetic at it. the clueless greek football media don't question otto as to why otto keeps insisting on this player at that position instead of basinas. idk if ur trying to be sarcastic or not but cenna is defintly worth 35 + million...have u not seen some shitty no name players going to england for so much money only to fail... cena is quality.
Genome Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Kostas Katsouranis played a significant role in Benfica's first goal in their 2-0 victory over Napoli today. Great cross to Reyes for the 1-0. Check it here:
paxiotis7 Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 ^ Nice pass... Imo Katsou has always had potential. His game just doesnt suit the role he is given on the ethniki.
Genome Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Apparently had a great game in Benfica's 6-0 away victory over Maritimo.
Akritis_1944 Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Rumours of AC Milan's interest are getting stronger. Not sure if he does in fact go to Milan. Would be great to have him there rubbing shoulders with Kaka, Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, Pirlo, Pato, Inzaghi.
DUDE Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Rumours of AC Milan's interest are getting stronger. Not sure if he does in fact go to Milan. Would be great to have him there rubbing shoulders with Kaka, Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, Pirlo, Pato, Inzaghi. Really? I've not heard these rumours. In an interview he did say that he wants to go to a country where there are direct flights to and from Greece so he has easier access to his family. He also said that although he isn't interested in returning to Greece he would consider playing for PAO and spoke of his admiration for the people that run PAOK. But he said he has no interest in going to Olympiakos. Where did you hear that he may be going to Milan?
