Nightmare Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) This Tziolis looks like a cracking signing on paper. 75 league games for PAOK in the last 3 and a half years (with a 15-game loan spell to Kayserispor mixed in), meaning he's been a starter for a top team in a better league than ours for a substantial amount of time.

I'm hoping that Tziolis will be an improvement on Kitchen, and that he'll help to shore things up a bit. Shouldn't be too hard, Kitchen is a weak link. I've heard Tziolis hasn't played much recently but he's played for some massive clubs so brings experience which we desperately need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a boy who hasn't been selected for the shitest Greek side that lost to The Faroes and NI twice be an improvement on a current US internationalist? And if he is, off he pops at the end of a he season having improved his fitness and had himself in the shop window.

Makes no sense at all, He was also part of decent Greek teams that made it to 2 World Cups and a European Championships.

Makes no sense at all, He captained Greece in a friendly in November and has 62 caps going back to 2006. He also captained PAOK in the Europa League group stages last season when they took 4 points off Borussia Dortmund. He's played in Serie A, the Bundesliga and La Liga. Why wouldn't he be an improvement on a guy who has a handful of friendly caps for a US side which recently lost 4-0 to Costa Rica? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Bambino has been getting some mileage out of this "Oshaniwa was bad therefore international players are bad" patter recently. Fair play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armand 2 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Quite liked the cut of Cathro's jib initially but I'm starting to find his pre and post game interviews increasingly painstaking affairs littered with phrases like "I thought we were okay in the game" and inane talk about "situations". Was such a big turnover in players always expected this month? It would be tall order for even the most experienced managers to assimilate this number of new faces into a squad half way through the season, irrespective of the fact some of them look like decent enough players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Splashing €200,000 on a player like Goncalves. That must be the 'living within our means' we've been told about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
