If nothing else, this guy brings with him the finest YouTube compilation of his loan at Aris.
Cant stop watching it. The shit cross, the poor finishing all set to a thumping soundtrack.

The video looks like it was made by an Aris rival, not an Aris fan. Let me repeat that he's not as bad as this video suggests, and I've seen him play, in contrast to most of you. I don't think I've been very wide off the mark in my assessments for other players from Greece. Aris made some good and expensive for their budget transfers this season and they wanted to sign him on a 3-year deal. And he's 24.
He does not have a great end product, I'll grant you that. But I think he's suited to Hughtonball, which requires wingers to run with the ball and try to create on their own. He's not a major upgrade to what you had, but he's not that worse.

Well if that isn't damning with faint praise I don't know what is. Thanks for the insight though GBG. All we can do is wait

Chronic knee injury that he can’t get right. Doesn’t stop some people still criticising the club for releasing him though.

Probably one of the reasons we got him in the first place. I think he's been playing with strapping on his knee most of the time he's been here.
Presumably another one who would have made it at a higher level on the grounds of his talent but not other areas. On his day he's virtually unplayable.

I honestly appreciate your perspective, though you did suggest that Guerrero would become a fan favourite ;-)
I'm just a bit depressed that you've summed up our recent wing-play so accurately. Honestly, what I wouldn't give for a triangle or even a one-two.

I think that was the other Greek. I distinctly remember saying that he is a very hardworking striker who does not score goals.

I've been informed that Chris Brass was heavily involved in the recruitment of this lad, having monitored him since he was D-o-F at Wigan, and for whom he was unsuccessful in trying to sign him on loan.

If that's the case we can't have too many complaints about it, certainly until we've seen him in a fair amount of games. If he's been identified by the team some time ago and recruited then that's absolutely fair enough.

I agree, although I doubt that will make much, if any, difference to the malcontents on here and elsewhere.

I'm the first to admit that I wasn't overjoyed by the prospect of his arrival when it was first mooted and and having looked for his stats found the cupboard was very bare.
However the dust has settled and now he's here he deserves a fair crack of the whip and here's hoping that he proves to be exactly what the new stats based approach is all about, an undiscovered gem.
I think half the challenge with this approach is to try to be patient with it* because a lot of the signings are almost meant to be 'What the hell have they done' signings, because if they were obvious, someone else would have snapped them up by now.
If you are delving in the swamp for a diamond it may at first look muddy and not much.
*If it really does need patience then we're basically ******.

I have a feeling this lad could be the next Nathan Tyson.

I hope the club’s got a plentiful supply of corner flags(especially when we play Derby).
