I dont disagree but Kanta is under contract and Topor isn't.Quote:

Dissecting small clips that don't show the full game to create hype is the best way to judge a foreign signing haha.

This one's from Dinamo Tbilisi in Georgia in 2016.

Lol, Russian League highlights (he's in for about 30 seconds). Rubin Kazan get a player sent off after 35, very little happens. Beka comes on late, gets involved in the lead up and scores the simplest goal of his life.

Can score a goal without kicking a goalkeeper in the face, which is good considering our history.
Will wait and see how we set up around him.
Could turn out to be a Berisha, in so much as didn't score often overseas but tears it up here. Or he could be Guy Bates.
He was AO Xanthi's 3rd best scorer in the league from what i'm reading (the club only scored 24 goals all season compared to 35 for the league winners). Greek 2nd division is a slight step up from the A League and Xanthi finished 2nd but lost the promotion play off game, I think.Quote:

Or he might be our Berisha and keep getting national team call ups whist enjoying the Newy life, lol.
Somebody called me and tried to pronounce his name.
I said, "Who, this guy?"

If those blokes, *who dressed up at Topor's troop*, start calling themselves Beka's Beakers, and dressing up like Bunsen and Beaker, I will be immensely happy.Quote:

I'll stop now. But this is the 2nd of the promotion play off game against Panetolikos (2nd last team from the top division) that AO Xanthi won 2-1. Ultimately they stayed down on away goals (2-2 after a 1-0 loss away) but it shows Beka scoring in the 71st minute and the overall level of play betwen the best teams in the 2nd division and the worst from the 1st division. Our boy came off the bench, but scored a good goal and the overall play looked a level or two above what we play here, from the absolutely miniscule amount i've seen.
Arthur Diles has just come to us from Xanthi as well so he would have worked quite closely with him
I also find it a bit interesting that we've signed him for two years, feels like we usually end up signing these internationals for one year and then they wash out so I'm happy seeing us commit to something slightly longer
What's with all the sh!tposting online about Brilliante? Someone know something? Or just banter?
cant find anything about this anywhere, is it on facey or twitter?Quote:

We've got Nathan Ryan who used to be at the Knights. He joined last year or earlier this year. Can't recall when I had my first meeting with himQuote:

Does anyone know anymore about his $200 million fraud case? Last I can see he's hiding in Greece, after he watched them play their promotion play off games. Can't make any sense of what happened after that.Quote:

No idea
Are they related??Quote:

Just saw that too. Must mean Donachie is likely heading elsewhere. Unless Papas is playing 3 at the back with 2 in midfield?Quote:

Holy smokes lads, we may have just done it again. Tinkler 4.0
