    Could this be the CB that helps us regain the championship?

      Semedo could prove a troublemaker given his past problems. But he's worth a shot. I think he's a UCL caliber defender, which is what OSFP probably needed most. And he has big potential resale value.

      On a different note, OSFP has started an interesting trend for next season by having signed Podence and now Valbuena. Suddenly, AEK plan on signing a Roma player named Verde via a loan, PAOK are expected to sign former ace Stoch, and PAO are increasingly considering a swoop for Fetfatzidis. All are 5'6" or 5'5", so we're talking diminutive wingers with as low a center of gravity you can probably get away with for a professional level player. All are wingers who like to cut in and score.

      I thought it could be part of a broader trend, but established players like Hazard, Salah, and Sterling (to name only a few) as well as promising players like Tekfusa Kubo are between 5'7" to 5'9". I can't think of any players who are as shorter than this playing at the highest levels or tipped to play at those kind of levels, so it's a bit unique to Greece, which suggests the level of play isn't hard enough to prevent players that short (5'5" or 5'6") from succeeding.

        Manos back to OFI for a year long loan. Good move:

          They are the best type of wingers the low centre of gravity. They have great ball control and are great dribblers. Olympiakos have 2 of them in Valbuena and Podence. The good thing about these players is that they can also excel at CAM. Take players on, tricky and they are easy to play with and are gifted. Also they are good to watch. Hazard and Salah are world class and Fetfatzidis could’ve been too. Greece needs a player like him.

            More new players at OSFP, any idea where they are from?

              According to the Turkish sport site Sabah, Olympiacos have asked that Galatasaray pay Marseille 700k euros for Mitroglou and once that happens, OSFP will buy Mitroglou at 2m from Marseille. OSFP have already come to terms with with Marseille for the deal, so now it's a question of whether Galatasaray will pay the 700k. LOL.

                Hopefully they do re-sign Pistolero. This el-Arabi has been playing in Qatar for the last three seasons. He wasn't even part of Morocco's World Cup squad in 2018. He's 33 in February. What are they doing signing guys like this?

                  I agree who is this guy? He isn’t credible enough. I’d rather have Mitroglou come back or even have Manos. In my opinion we should’ve pulled the trigger on Berg if that’s the case.

                    I'd prefer Mitroglou over Berg. Before his knee injury and move to Fulham, the guy was scoring a hattie every other weekend. A hattrick against Anderlect in the UCL. Three against Romania over two games. The guy couldn't stop scoring. If he ever returns to that level of confidence, the man would be king of Greece.

                      I 100% agree. Before Mitroglou went to Fulham he was killing it. I remember nearly every week in the GSL he was scoring and scoring hatricks here and there. Even in champions league where he scored the hatrick like you stated. I’m still waiting for that Mitroglou. That Mitroglou was lost after the injury and move to Fulham.

                        Reports suggest that if Falcao signs for Galatasaray, then they will forced to offload Mitroglou.

                          I'm liking Olympiakos this year for the championship. They're a fast team with talent. They made a lot of changes to the roster 2 years ago....this year the team should be in top form.

                            Besides Samedo and Sa - this has been an exceptionally poor transfer season.

                            We lost Hassan - our offer for him was rejected. So we ended up with Guerrero, Soldano, El Arabi and Durmishaj - all of which are not good enough to lead the line - except maybe El Arabi - but he is an unknown quantity.

                            Valbuena is a very poor signing. He is 35 in a couple of months and looked tired and slow when playing at Fener last season. Whoever green-lit his signing should be fined 3 months pay.

                              Without Fortounis, or at least someone of his caliber, I don't think this team can win the title. Olympiacos is built around his talents. Marinakis has to spend some money and find someone who can fill his boots until his return, otherwise they'll have trouble finishing in the top two.

                              I'd have said Ninis, but he's PAO through and through.

                                I was about to say Ninis too. He would have been a perfect replacement. Have you seen him play lately Don? Is he a decent player still.
