[Bald Head]

Welcome to NSC.

 

[FCB]

Based on numbers and success outside Greece :

1. Nikos Machlas. 1997/98 European Golden Shoe and Top Scorer in Holland 34 goals in 32 games. Later transfered to Ajax with a carreer of 44 goals and 16 assists in 93 games.
2. Theofanis Gekas. 2006/2007 Top Scorer in Bundesliga with Bochum
3. Nikolas Samaras (might be familiar to some as he signed in 2006 with Man.City, but he best carreer days were at Scotland and Celtic)
4. Most recent one. Vangelis Pavlidis, Top Scorer in Holland last year, transfered to Benfica for 18M, Scored a Hattrick against Barcelona in C.L a few days ago

What about Angelos Charisteas? He was quite well known at start of the century and had a solid career in BL and Eredivisie. But yeah, he had a bigger impact for NT (especially Euro 2004) than in club football so that's maybe why I remember him more than the first three guys you've mentioned. Pavlidis is still fresh in my mind as a Barca fan though, lol.

What do you think about Douvikas? Didn't look a bad player from what I've seen but he failed to really establish himself in last 18 months at Celta and now Cesc has brought him to Como for 13m€.


also, fun fact (well, maybe not that fun) - Brighton spend the same money on this kid than all La Liga clubs combined this TW.

I'm surprised the La Liga clubs spent ANY money on him, given he's coming here.

Charisteas highlight was definitely Euro 2004. He was never a killer Striker and performed better with the NT than with his clubs. His best years were with Werder and then Holland (Ajax, Feyenord). But his carreer took a downhill when he was around 28-29

Douvikas still has potential, in Holland and his first year at Celta was good. This year not so much. let's see with Como.

There are other promising forwards right now in Greece.

Ioannidis (25) from Panathinaikos had a great year last year, and he is highly skilled (they turned down offers up to 20M last year)
Unfortunately he was injured for a couple of months but now he is back on track :
