Transfers

[Reaper]

Disappointing window.

[Kallithea]

Well, maybe it isn't finished after all. Genoa are bringing in an offer for Koutris and he is also being tracked by other teams apparently.
Androutsos may be on his way to Panionios for the remainder of the season.
Sport24 is linking us with Sebastian Rincon of Guimaraes.
Tsimikas has renewed his contract for a further 3 years.

[Amorgos]

I believe Androutsos is officially on loan to Panionios

[Kallithea]

Seba has finally left the club to go to Al Shabab - I thought he had already transferred out but apparently that was a loan to the Chinese.

[Kallithea]

Vrousaj joining Willem on loan for the next 18 months.
Gil Diaz supposed to be returning from Nottingham Forest to Monaco and then join us in loan. If this happens Fetfatzidis will probably be loaned out according to the press.

[Amorgos]

Manos to PAS on loan

[Kallithea]

Shame really as he was a good substitute to bring on, still if he can get more game time then it's a good thing for us.

Gil Dias.. who has seen him play?

[ThrylosG7]

Reaper I have watched a few Forrest games on BeIn out of interest..if he puts in effort he will do ok...the 2 or 3 games ive seen he works hard.....but the championship is a no nonsense league and slackers get found out real fast...Coming to Greece the pace will be significantly slower...so I expect him to do well.

Regarding Masouras..it all comes down to one thing...Will he be a typical Greek player ..who plateaus once joining a big club because he is making good money and doesnt feel he needs to do more....or will he be like Papastathopoulos Who was never satisfied and constantly pushed to be the best he can..and challenged himself constantly...

[Don Giovanni]

Fetfatzidis signed for Aris. At least he's hungry to play and return to the right track. If he manages to improve his physical shape and improves his concentration in front of goal, he can be an asset for Greece at least. Hopefully he still maintains ambitions to play for Greece, something that would spur him on to improve.

Masouras has no one to give him real guidance. Mitroglou had Kovacevic and Zico. Fortounis had Dominguez. They were important Greek youth NT players who were given the proper opportunities to develop their talents at OSFP and were learning from great personalities. These were players OSFP had invested effort into building up. Masouras doesn't have the quality of a Kovacevic or Dominguez to help him nor does he have any special qualities to begin with. He's already staying at Panionios for the rest of the season, despite having signed onto OSFP.

Every technical and physical asset he possesses are average to at best above average, but nothing to truly write home about. Unless this kid becomes all grit and determination (like Salpingidis and Giannakopoulos), he's going to hit the ceiling on his talents and get nowhere very quickly. I don't think he'll become that kind of player. He doesn't strike me like the new Giannakopoulos. Stelios was a tough nut.

I don’t get this team sometimes. We want all the best young Greek talent and we end up doing nothing with them. What’s the point of signing them to only not play them or send them on loan all the time. That is not what I want to see especially when if affects the national team.

Hopefully Masouras keeps on improving and cements a spot as a starter. I want to see talent young Greeks thrive at Olympiakos.

Manos is a decent striker. He can score. Fetfatzidis is the best Greek dribbler I have ever seen. Androutsos can become the 8 we’ve been dreaming for Greece to have. Manthatis has speed and potential. Like they are good enough to have a role in this team. All they need is the backing of the coach. I really like what Bento did and put his trust in the youngsters.

Thats why I like what Panathinaikos is doing. They are playing and trusting Greek talent. Asteras does it aswell. There are plenty of up and comers there.

Koutris being courted by West Ham. Better off staying at Olympiacos - a bigger club.

[Don Giovanni]

Still early for a move. He needs more games under his belt. Hopefully he does go to the EPL eventually. It's the best league.

[Dean97]

I’m all for young Greeks going abroad and especially to better leagues but in Koutris case he needs another solid year. I heard Fortounis will stay to the end of his career at Olympiakos. I believe it as Fortounis has recently agreed with that statement. But still, things can change.

[Don Giovanni]

There's talk of Nasri signing. He'd be an excellent signing, but I have doubts that he would be highly motivated to perform and keep fit in Greece.

Here he was, as cool as ever, against Arsenal this past season as West Ham won 1-0:
