On his way out.
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...gn=communities
Just posted on the rumours thread. Think that's good business especially if we get a fee for him.
Not going to get much game time moving forward and his value is only going to drop due to his age.
On his best days a very good player. Not too many ‘best days’ which could be said for a few of our players.Quote:

But thanks for being here and good luck.
Uncharacteristic sensible move by the club. Hope we get a few bob, should do.
Not sure there will be much of a fee if any, probably a case of us being quite happy to move his wages on and he also wanting the move.
Not really worked out, matches just often seem to pass him by and he is out of favour under Riza.
Not been the worst performer at all but he's probably one of the easier ones to move on with interested parties.
Best of luck to him.
He’s a current regular pick in the Greek international team’s midfield and it’s only a few months since he was playing well in a win over England at Wembley - we should be looking to get a decent fee for him.Quote:

Do you think Siopis paid up his contract at his old club and didn’t get compensated by City?Quote:

Well, whatever the compensation figure is, we should at least be looking to get that back.Quote:

You have to find another club that wants them.Quote:

And he's not without his strengths either - in the game against England he was getting rave reviews from England fans on twitter. Some Man-u fans were demanding they sign him :hehe:
I'm not sure why he hasn't been more successful here - perhaps he isn't as well suited to the more physical nature of the Championship, and in another league that is refereed differently he could be more effective.
I also think his passing is better than he gets credit for. There have been matches where i've thought he's been useless with the ball for us, but when I've checked after the game he's had better passing stats than any of the other midfielders - just for some reason his misplaced passes stuck in the memory more (perhaps more unforced errors).
He is the last person you want to see lining up a shot from distance though.
Anyway I don't think it would be out of the question to get some money for him, hes a good player in the right team i think
According to BBC Wales, he’s one of the highest earners. It’ll be interesting to see how he gets on at Panathanaikos
If Dimi goes too we're fked. We don't have any other dominant center backs.
Damn it! LolQuote:
