On both the re-signing and "need more Greeks" fronts, Gerrie Sylaidos and Perry Lambropoulos have both retained, but Kristian Konstantinidis' time at Lakeside is over. Injury and inconsistency were hallmarks of KK's time at South, but there is this to be said as well - he was a fun player to watch and have around the club, and he clearly cared about South - and he scored some nice goals as well.

Stratomitros is a regular Nikos attendee in Oakleigh, especially Saturday mornings. Unfortunately I do not attend as much as I use to, but if I happen to see him I will ask. :)
ReplyDeleteNeos Kosmos is linking us to Eagar, Pavlou, Holmes, etc. This seems to align neither with the youth/homegrown plan, nor with the saving pennies on senior wages plan.
ReplyDeleteAre you surprised Paul. The strategy flips from day-to-day, rather than following a long-term approach. Unfortunately, culture eats strategy for breakfast !
DeleteNot surprised at all.
