Cleaning out WU

What do we know about him?

 

[SMFC1959]

That's 7 signings!

You'd think the majority of these players signed would be in the starting 11.

Its getting a lil exciting after all... none of those are the 'hellas' signing though IMO!

The only one that hasnt been mentioned is Aguek, i wonder if it fell through?

To be fair Habibi was kept quiet

My thinking exactly but if he is OS then its logical perhaps.. the

Its more that we've just signed a forward, Nagamatsu may be staying, wonder if Aguek fell through and we went to the next options.

As it stands the only attacking third player whose currently there thats guaranteed a start is Bonada probably on a wing, i dont see where Mikkola fits in unless he plays as a 10.

We still lack that Joe Guest type unless we are expecting Pasquali to fire.

That makes most sense!

As it stands the only attacking third player whose currently there thats guaranteed a start is Bonada probably on a wing, i dont see where Mikkola fits in unless he plays as a 10.

Bonada works at 10 in conjunction with Pasquali if he is fit and is versatile across the left.. mikkola has versatility across the right and id consider even pulling him back towards the right back role or right midfield. Still have questions regarding DM unless giannakop goes to the role..

We still lack that Joe Guest type unless we are expecting Pasquali to fire.

Yeah we really do and it suprises me that ghey dont see it or just that we cant poach one like the good old days! ... Pasquali is a bit of a gamble fitness wise, talent wise though he is solid and has the skills for the role.

Will wait and see what the final tally is but i would say we have missed signing a proper DM in 2 windows but now more so on a proper attacking midfielder to play this style of football effectively.

Is this still the stadium?

There seems to be an athletics track but still looks really good
Or did they expand the athletics track

This mad me a little sad to be honest.... Just remembering the crowds we used to draw, the passion, the excitement of GF at Olympic park.... remember that match like it was yesterday... Boutsi scoring in the final minutes and celebrating while the goal was disallowed and 20 thousand fans screaming at him to get back on the pitch as Carlton were streaming forward, Bresciano miss hitting that last minute equaliser...... The flares, the flags, the joy, the Premier of Vicitoria being our #1 fan ....... great memories.

This was the match that drove the final nail in the coffin of my involvement as a Hellas fan at that time.

I was like Karamanlis in 1963, when he resigned as PM. I could see we were driving off a cliff. No one else could. And like him, I came back

I’m not interested in his general political decisions. But, bloody hell, talk about being prescient!

He sensed disaster. Actually, he did a bit of a Lowy! Hehe

Its interesting because from that night through to about the end of 2001 we were arguably at our peak as our club.
