btron3000 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I think it's a good idea to believe stories are beat-ups until proven otherwise. What percentage of "so and so is going to x club" come true? Link to comment
Nek Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 As an eternal optimist, this is best news of 2017. We should give him the $$$ he deserves and build the team around him Smoggy and Paul01 2 Link to comment
tardotz Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Nico's performances have dropped off dramatically and its hard to understand why... Tired, knows he will be leaving or the Greeks are watching him and he doesn't want to impess them😠No matter what the the player is amazing and even when at 50% he is still the best we have on the field. I really hope he stays. Edinburgh, JackDoff, Smoggy and 5 others 8 Link to comment

They helped and gave us a lot of power and they pushed us to the limit and we put our life on the line in that game.†The highlight of the year so far for me. Was great to be in the stands and that quote makes me feel like we were in some ways contributing to the win. I hope we find a way to keep him.

mack Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Olympiacos won't send him out for free or probably even half. "You got him cheap last year, if you want to keep him pay up." Link to comment

Depends if they want to fork out another $1m a year paying a player who will get no game-time for them They'll loan him out if they can find someone DinoPresinger 1 Link to comment
mack Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 I'm sure they could find a lower league club in Europe to send him to and they will use that as leverage against WSW, as we're the club who actually apparently want him. These other random clubs can be found in the last few weeks of the transfer window (which often goes into the league seasons, in case a club loses an attacking midfielder to injury or being sold). His wages are already on the books, it's irrelevant if they have to pay them or not. The question is now what can they get for him. Link to comment

If they want the costs off their ledger and he wants out, they can shake hands and walk away. Offering Nico his full wage will be enough to lure him. Nico has the option to refuse a transfer as well. His willingness to do that will be entirely based on how much he wants to come back vs go else where Paul01 and DinoPresinger 2 Link to comment
GunnerWanderer Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 The longer he remains of the books for them the better our chances are also gives us time to deport borda surely someone is onto to it Link to comment
sonar Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 So Nico is an Ex wanderers for sure...no hope of resigning.? Has he left Australia.? Link to comment
mack Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 This kinda doubles up on the squad discussion thread, but there isn't really any need for another foreign winger, especially one we already had last season and by the standards of the A-League, never really performed much more than slightly above-average. sonar 1 Link to comment

Sport24.gr informed you on August 2 that 30-year-old Argentine midfielder, Nico Martins, was a breath of his move to the MLS team, Philadelphia Union, in the form of borrowing from the Reds. The South American traveled to the US late last week, passed medical tests on behalf of the Philadelphia Union, but his move to the MLS "wrecked" definitively. The Philadelphia Union administration changed the contract terms that had been agreed before Martinez "flies" from Greece to the US, so that they were not accepted by the footballer. The 30-year-old returned to Greece and was re-looking for the next station of his career. Link to comment
