:lol: :lol:

They are acting as if this is kid is the next Pele. He probably won't amount to anything:lol:

r u joking this kid is a gun!

:lol: :lol:

He's 17 it's way to early to say that he will be some big star. If he was so good he'd be in Europe already not playing NSWPL.

next stop panathinaikos buddy

And when he doesn't move to Pana what excuses will be made then.

Even if he does go to Pana it's not like he's gonna get any gametime so won't be worth going, and if a miracle happens and he gets gametime it's not like Pana play in the champions league anymore so won't be getting any worthwhile gametime.

he is the next sotiris ninis

Bulut > Petratos

Yeah, except he's an Aussie mate.

Thing is solympic if he does turn out to be good will he choose Australia or Greece.

he will go for the money simple

That didn't answer the question.

If he is good enough will he choose to play for Australia or Greece?

cant say

greece is his heart but australia were he lives what can i say torn between two its dificult can go either way

cant say

greece is his heart but australia were he lives what can i say torn between two its dificult can go either way

Whoever his heart is with. The kid has every right to choose either one

Nah you're wrong bro. Rumour has it, is that Panathinaikos want him in there Reserve team. My only source is rumour. Maybe solympic can provide a website link or something to this rumour?

Even then if they only want him in their reserve team aint that great TBH. I'd rather him breakthrough in the A-League here if he's that good then go overseas.

SC58 you're always to critical.

Being a 17 year old in the reserve team in one of Balkans biggest Club is a good effort. It can only lead to bigger and better things.

Even if he ends up playing in the B Division of Greece and making 1500Euro's a week isn't to bad either. But if he is lead and coached properly, he has a good chance of making it to a First Division League in Europe.

He was pretty good in FM09 iirc.

Ok guys, stop saying he's going overseas. He's on loan at Sydney Olympic haha, he can't force his way into a starting line up at Sydney, I mean, has he even made a league appearance for Sydney?

I hope he has a bright future, but cmon guys, be realistic. If he was half as good as you are all pretending he is, he'd have made his debut in a league cup, or even a league in one of the big leagues.

One of the worst things that can be done to a young player is to over hype them, and sorry guys, but you're all going a bit overboard even considering it.

Just relax there, I'm just going by what word has been going around. As I have said earlier I don't have any solid evidence of it.

So we can some up this thread like so:

- Some young Greek kid signs with Olympic
- None of the Olympic fans have actually ever seen him play but have heard rumours that he is the next Maradona. These rumours seem to have come from other Olympic fans who have not seen him play


Wow. He's going to be massive

everyone has seen him play hes a gun stop getting jealous

He's played NYL FFS. That's a kiddy comp with a few pensioners chucked in who aren't good enough. It's a joke of a competition and hardly any kind of indicator of success.

If this kid is so good why isn't he called up for any Joey's or Young Socceroo's squads.

For FC's youth side? I read quite a few of their match reports and I dont remember him ever being singled out. Dont even remember his name on the team sheet FFS.

I've got nothing to be jealous about. We currently have teenagers playing and doing well for our first team while we continue to churn out quality youngsters.

One of our products recently got shipped off to Turkey for 800k. Yawn... Stick to bragging about your 2 NSL titles. Leave the talent production to the experts

Ian rowden an olympic boy everyone is an olympic boy get over it brother
