Ted E Bayer 484 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Greek Striker currently at Man City. Struggling to get regular games under Eriksson. Only 23. I think he's a gifted player who'd be available for little money. Although he doesn't have a fantastic goal to game ratio for a striker, when he first signed for Man City he was excellent. Great control, good bit of skill and could be a fantastic partner for a goal scoring machine such as Boyd. I'd love to see WS buy him. Thoughts?

Ted E Bayer 484 Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 always been a fan of him but cant see us getting him Me either but he's the type of player I'd like to see us sign, cheap and out of favour by current manager, young with bags of ablilty. Fock I wish I was a Rangers scout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,705 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 when he first signed for Man City he was excellent I thought he was quite poor, although i ll put that down to taking time to settle, and his first game was shocking, i still remember it, i dont know if hes the kind of player we would need to compliment boyd though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted E Bayer 484 Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Poor? I think I must have missed his first game. Every game I watched he was brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy 68 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 A striker who has bags of ability but doesn't give a shit? We've got one of them... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousin can be good but doesn't have "bags of ability" imo. He just always came across as the lazy, uninterested type to me. A good player though.

FlippinEck 3,705 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 we could do with someone like Gerald Asamoah, a direct replacement for darcheville Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,781 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 He doesn't have the best scoring record in the world for Man City, but he hasn't actually had all that many starts and to be fair how many 21 year olds come to England from abroad and are instantly goal machines? For Herrenveen and Greece his record is pretty decent and although some see him as lazy, but did Sven not recently praise his willingness to fight for a place in the team? He's always looked like quite a technically sound, cultured player and that is something that we desperately need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted E Bayer 484 Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Another non scoring "striker", not what we need. We have a goal scoring MACHINE already!! You're missing the point completely. He's always looked like quite a technically sound, cultured player and that is something that we desperately need. Exactly!

Muff 245 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Never really watched or paid much attention to him tbh. On the occassions that I did, I thought he looked a very good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark_ni 12 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 decent player but not got a great goalscoring record. Think birmingham are going to pay £3.5m for him. i would be wanting someone with a better goals to games ratio for that sort of money. big eck must be loving it down there, finally getting to spend some decent money on players, even if he is paying over the odds for some of them ie mcfadden.

port_bear 86 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 signing for birmingham http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/...=rss&feed=5 Looks like the Birmingham deal is off.... £2.5m for a player like Samaras is a bargain as far as i'm concerned, we should be using the Cousin money to be targeting players like this and NOT player like Luke Moore...

Just like it is with Moore, I havent seen enough of this guy to form a true opinion - but what I have seen didn't impress me if Im honest. I would approach any of these 2 in the same way I did JCD and Cousin when they signed...give them the benefit of the doubt and trust in Walter.

rfc_no1fan 13 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 According to the daily mail, Rangers will bid £2.5 million for Samaras, who has only scored 1 goal this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit Im not a fanbut I'll give him the benefit of the doubt til i see him week in week out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
