[Albion] Stefanos Tzimas **singed 03/02/25 - joining in Summer**

[CHAPPERS]

Has there ever been a good Greek striker ?

That's the spirit!

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Has there ever been a good Greek striker ?

Lot's of them, they are a rebelllious nation, plenty of them are very good at striking.

Zeus? Well more of a smiter I suppose, but close enough?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Sounds like the most exciting signing so far

So he remains on trial at Nuremburg until the end of the season, let's hope he's innocent.

Indeed, then he can get on his bike to Sussex, its a Nuremberg Raleigh

 

[dazzer6666]

Hungry and talented young striker who has picked us over other competition what’s not to like

That can't be true, because Fab isn't interested in developing younger players (apparently).

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

That's a careless whisper.

I'm just hoping with this signing that we've turned A Different Corner.

Has there ever been a good Greek striker ?

Scorer of the winning goal in the Euro 2004 final - very handy player on his day.

I think about this a lot when we sign players like this and said the same when we signed Enciso.
For these players to contribute at this level let alone improve us they’d need to essentially be the best player their country has produced.
So you have the lottery of it working out with a player this age plus the historic odds against them.

Good players can have been born anywhere though right? It's not strictly necessary they are from Brazil or France

Not statistically no.

Not sure whether or not this will be behind a paywall, but Scouted Football have been big fans of Tzimas for some time: https://open.substack.com/pub/scout...?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=38v641

Based on this it's a very exciting signing, though his profile based on speed in behind on the counter doesn't sound perfectly suited to the way we currently play.

(Highly recommend Scouted to anyone interested in youth prospects. They're big on Yalcouye too)

 

[Zebedee]

He shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the team until August; and only then if he's had the required injury and recovery time etc.

Will be loaned to a club in Belgium or Netherlands anyway. When has a 18 year old with hardly any experience gone into the first team!

Salah being a case in point.

No. Salah proves my point.

 

[BluesRockDJ]

Come on, you know he'll do his ACL before the end of the season and we'll never see him in the stripes !
