It's worth 800K if we get promoted. It looks like we're finally pushing the boat and Stelios might become a crucial part in our fight for promotion. Go for it!

Most people I have spoken to, today at work have praised Stelios and think he would be an excellent signing.

I agree- we need that real bit of experience- he for me would provide it. I'm sure if he went to Sheff U we'd have the usual..............another one that got away etc etc
WE complain when we don't spend and now some saying some players too expensive!!!!
If he did help us to get promoted and sure he would play a big part- then worth the gamble. Now is the time to do it- can see him tormenting teams at this level

You would hope he would be really exciting in this league.
You don't have to look too far over the Welsh border though to find 2 ex Premiership players who just aren't performing.

we need someone who might give us a bit of a Paul Merson (portsmouth) effect, could he be the man ? a player with that extra bit of class.

Good shout Serpico, Merson did outstanding for Pompey in that promotion year, though struggled in the prem and then went to Walsall if I can remember rightly.

If he were to sign I could see Pulis playing him in the Mamma role, just behind Fuller. IMHO he would do a good job there too. Think of all the times Fulller has done the hard work and either laid it off for soeone to miss or noone has been in the right spot. Stelios would bury those sort of chances foe sure.

He'd be better suited on the left, freeing up Cressie to go up front and score more than Mama, who could be brought on and used to change to hoofball which would hopefully become Plan B rather than Plan A which would them hopefully be more of a floor-based game.
That mightn't make sense phrased that way but I can't be arsed to simplify it.

Possibly so, the better the players we sign who have more quality on the ball the less we will resort to playing it long for flick-ons as we did in the second half of last season. A ball playing defender like Griff will help as would a Stelios with Diao breaking up play and keeping it simple. Happy days

The shape of the team would be able to so much more flexible with the introduction of Stelios and Diao. One thing Tone likes is versatile players.

I'll be quite disappointed if we don't get him now, to be honest.

We'd see more of a diamond shaped midfield, rather than an Inverted 'C' shape.

as 4 the comment about cardiffs 2 failures from the re jimmy floyd and god are well past it i personally think stellios is fitter than both of these and would make a huge impact in this league even at 33 go get him guys

He was certainly an impact kind of player at Bolton, scored some important goals.

tbh - Stelious is a cracking player, particulalrly at this level. He would provide that extra bit of quality and he can really finish very well

Fowler and JFH as you said irrelevant
Am really hoping Stelios comes
Out of curiosity- we've had World Cup winning players play for us- he must be the first Euro if he signs would he?

"Stelios", it's like a portmanteau of "Stella" and "Artois", so I'd be happy for him to come purely based on that alone.

It gives me a little more confidence that Megson is his Manager, just might be helping us.
In respect of Diao,Griffin and Hendrie,they are all has-beens in the Premiership,sorry but thats how it is. Their football is now Champoinship quality.

Post by Pretty Little Boother on Jan 10, 2008 21:37:20 GMT
Griff and Hendrie yes, but I'm not sure about Diao, I reckon he could still cut it in a lower- third Prem team.

Oh man - we're not all dreaming are we? This is like Bobby Ewing in Dallas (whoosh, as it goes over the head of everybody under 30!).
Soicowboy, can't answer the Euro winner question directly. But, Patrick Berger was a finalist in 1996 with Czech Republic. How's that for starters?
