BAILLIESTONLOYALIST 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Portugal striker Hélder Postiga has joined Panathinaikos FC on an initial six-month loan from FC Porto. Permanent option The 25-year-old arrives in Athens in time for Wednesday's Greek Cup derby at Olympiacos CFP, and with Panathinaikos having the option of signing him outright in the summer. Portuguese connection Postiga, whose coach at Panathinaikos will be his compatriot, the ex-Sporting Clube de Portugal boss José Peseiro, said: "I have joined a famous European club who are in the habit of winning trophies. The fact Panathinaikos have a Portuguese coach is a plus for me, but not the only reason I accepted their offer. I will also get the opportunity to challenge for the Greek championship, the cup and the UEFA Cup." Porto stalwart The forward has been limited to just two starts in the Liga, and four substitute appearances, this term. He has spent his entire career at Porto with the exception of a season, 2003/04, with Tottenham Hotspur FC in England, and a loan spell at AS Saint-Etienne in France during the 2005/06 campaign. Panathinaikos will play Rangers FC in the UEFA Cup Round of 32 next month. They drew 1-1 in a Super League derby at Olympiacos on Sunday and occupy third place in the title race. ©uefa.com 1998-2008.

*Manticore* 1,893 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Did he play in the CL? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Did he play in the CL? Yes he did, but the ruling is, because Porto didn't drop into the UEFA cup then he is legible to play in this competition also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andypendek Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 postiga pat, postiga pat postiga pat and his black and white cat not many people know that earlier in his career, young helder would often be found tramping the streets in the early dawn, the cold, unforgiving mists of the new day twisting round his ankles like a tackle from neil 'razor' ruddock. one can imagine how glad he was when, one clear morning, he handed in his empty sack for the last time and embarked on a career as a footballer.
