    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.



    Looks like he could definitely do well here considering the leagues he's played in and his age. A season or 2 banging them in for us and he can go back to a 2nd or 3rd tier european league at 25/26 yrs old. 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.

    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

    Given we’ve signed 3 people from Xanthi, and the owner of Xanthi is Bill Papas, we could hope.

    Did we get a new marketing person or they just finally get to use their skills to announce something, anything! I can’t remember so much hype/media/announcements around a season.

    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 him

    Got kinda forced out of the Knights due to foxsports crying. He used to stop them talking to players when he could see they needed a break or something. (This is just the rumour that circulated at the time)

    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.


    Maybe, he's looking to buy us out? Or maybe he's gonna lose Xanthi FC and is hooking Arthur up before he does?


    No idea

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