Una clamorosa notizia di mercato rimbalza dalla Grecia: alcuni emissari della Juventus sarebbero giunti allo stadio Karaiskakis di Atene, sabato scorso, per visionare il giovane talento dell'Olympiacos Vasilis Torosidis (22) nella partita interna disputata contro l'Asteras Tripolis (1-1). Esterno di centrocampo molto versatile, capace di svariare in difesa o in posizione più offensiva, il ragazzo è cresciuto calcisticamente nello Skoda Xanthi, altro club greco (2002/2006, 76 presenze e 3 reti), prima di approdare in biancorosso due stagioni fa (finora 16 presenze e 2 reti). Dallo scorso anno fa parte anche della Nazionale greca. Sulle sue tracce, oltre alla Juventus, si sarebbero portate anche Monaco, Atletico Madrid e Glasgow Rangers.
Apparently we are scouting that dude. with us are Monaco, Atletico Madrid and Glasgow Rangers.
I don't know him...

UPDATE: I just googeld a little bit. Apparently, he's quite good. something like a secret talent. People following him say he's the best greek player atm. He's versatile, can play RM, RB and in greek's NT he even played LB. He's 22. Currently playing for olympiakos pyräus, market value of 3 mio €. Sounds pretty nice to me, should he come cheap. He could bring some competition/alternative to molinaro or grygera.

I hope it`s because we want to include him in a swap with Aguero

errr... a bit sad.

But Zidane and DP are not superstars either when they first came to Juve and look what they have achieve. Though, I did try to be a bit optimistic here. :p

Has any Greek players shine in Serie A ??
Zagorakis and Vryzas are the few i can rem, but they did not have that much of an impact though.

I will be glad to be proven wrong with this guy though ...

Torosidis is indeed a fine talent and this comes from someone who hates Olympiakos (his team), he is one of the most promising Greek players.
He can play both full back positions and as a DM,(both hardcore defensive one and CM like Marchisio) he is solid defensively and he can add smth up front, he has very good stamina and take a good use of his speed (unlike ineffective Molinaro)
I m not sure if he is Juve material though, Toro is a very good athlete, but in Serie A, thats normal.
He is skilled for a Greek player, but same goes for all Serie A players(besides Molinaro)
Normally i wouldnt recommend him, but, right now we have much worse players like him and Toro is very young, he can develop into a great player if he gets a proper training experience in Italy, he is certainly much more talented than Molinaro and he already is better than Birindelli, Toro is a workhorse and i like this kind of players, i m not sure if he will adapt with life in Italy, if he does he can definitely adapt to the Italian play, he has speed,stamina, good marking, swift pass and he is calm in extreme conditions, these caracteristics are the standard requirements for Serie A.
Do we need him? We have De Ceglie coming back, we have 2 RBs, plenty of DMs,
i dont know, but i can tell for sure that he is an upgrade to Molinaro.

We could use someone competing with Zebina for the RB position. And no, I don't consider Grygera, Salihamidzic and Birindelli competition. Mellberg can play there, though.

for fun since Almiron will be linked to Olympiakos.
you mean that?



Le milieu argentin Sergio Almiron devrait prochainement quitter la Juventus Turin.

Malgré un contrat courant jusqu'en 2012, Sergio Almiron, 27 ans, ne devrait pas rester à la Juventus Turin. Sur les tablettes de plusieurs autres clubs italiens (Lazio Rome, Genoa, Sampdoria), le milieu argentin intéresserait également l'Olympiakos Le Pirée.

Prêté les six derniers mois à l'AS Monaco, Sergio Almiron n'a pas convaincu le club de la Principauté de lever l'option d'achat assorti à son prêt.

R.L.


My French are really rusty, someone help!

I dont know if Olympiakos would drop Torosidis, though, he has a grown into a very important player for them.
They just found a new coach, soon they will start dealing with their transfer targets...

Almiron will leave.

Lazio, Roma, Genoa, Sampdoria and Olympiakos are interested.

Monaco have not taken the chance to make the loan permanent.
