Has Greece ever produced a world class player?
Saravakos without ANY doubt. Here is a bittersweet reminder.



Manolas is a gamble I wouldn't take. Papastathopoulos on the other hand , is a GREAT defender. I would say , that at this moment, Papastathopoulos is able to hold a starting place for almost every team in the world. Moreover, for the 10-15 top clubs worldwide , I'll stretch it and I'll say that he could easily fit in all of them, as a first sub choice.

We must see a lot of potential in him otherwise we wouldn't be spending well over 10M on a CB who's probably not going to start for us when Barzagli and Chiellini are back.

Not against this move though, at least we're prepared to spend some money on a player we want.

He definitely has some potential, but i'm not sure he will ever be a star defender for a big club.

Pros: fast, strong, intelligent

Cons: Not a leader, raw passing, prone to silly blunders

Are we selling Bonucci or what?

That's what the link Jem posted says :boh:

We spent 15 million on Ogbonna last year (a CB we rarely used). Now, if we commit another 15 million to a mistake prone Greek defender who plies his trade for the might Olympiakos, I'm gonna lose it.

Most likely false as they mention Mino Raiola as his agent :D

Think I've only seen him play during the World Cup.

Looked like he knew what he was doing, but 15m seems like a lot.
