Title: Told you Mitroglou needed affection, just scored against Atletico
Post by: Greek on September 16, 2014, 09:21:10 PM
But still, to all those who said his wages should be enough to motivate him and he should be a man etc... at least you lot and magath still have your pride, even though Fulham don't have the prem. Played great tonight.

To the fans who wanted him played and watched him rot on the bench, I genuinely feel for you. Magath has wrecked your club as I predicted.


I can tell, if Olympiakos spent 10 mil on a player, we would be handing out free blow jobs and cake before games if it made him a better player and helped him score. True football is about getting the best out of players, not holding grudges.

Kasami set him up. Played a blinder.    :blow candles:

Good for them. Maybe you should go post on the Olympiakos forums rather than here then if you're so happy. You do realise that a lot of us wanted Mitroglou to play, and so rather than kicking us when we're down you go and do something else with your time?

We don't care.

He was a useless sack of straw and an expensive one at that.

The worst ever signing we have made. My only hope is that we can recoup his bloated wages.

Please don't grace this board with his name again.

I'm glad he's scoring, if he wasn't, we'd lose money on him come the summer. Hopefully he keeps it up and you can't afford his fee, so, he who laughs last, laughs the longest.

I don't understand the OP.

Mitroglou appeared to be putting in zero effort for us, when we'd just spent 12 million on him (a lot of money for us, as it  be for a tiny little club like Olympiakos) and we desperately needed everyond to put everything they had into keeping us up.

That lack of effort, in that context, would make him a coward and to be honest, a scumbag, the only defence being that maybe he was injured or had permanently 'lost' something.

I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt but playing a full game and scoring tonight proves I was wrong to do so.

Shameful

Agree with Canary, although I do think he was carrying an injury for his very brief appearances for us.

The OP's post is ridiculous though about needing affection? He's not a child who needs gold stars for playing well, hes getting probably 50k a week and we paid £12million for him. You'd expect him to put some effort in no matter the affection Felix gave him

as far as mitro is concerned.. proves he was what I said, a con man, not love needed just time to recover... the man is a loathsome waste of space lacking an ounce of integrity. my contempt for him and anybody crazy enough to apologise for his lack of scruples knows absolutely no bounds!

I think Mitroglou needed fitness and playing time. How can we give a player we rarely saw affection. Don't blame the player but bad management at all levels of our club.

Fully agree. We are becoming a joke of a club. Really sad to see. And nothing seems to be in motion to change this.

Affection, don't make me laugh. It is frustrating as hell to see him score and assist at CL level when he did sweet fa with us. I think the blame lies with the management as opposed to the player though. The chap never got a chance to get a run of games under his belt for us and FM clearly doesn't fancy him, so it's very difficult to gauge his ability.

Are you seriously only a member on here because mitroglou played for fulham??? Just like your beloved kostas wasted our time, your post does the same.

Thanks for pointing out how well he played, fingers crossed he continues to play like that and he convinces olympiakos to buy him back.

Maybe english people are different but I find these obsessions with national players very weird. Dont you have a club you can support instead?

Good luck to the pair of ya, I hope the journey you share will lead to many happens times and in kostas' case.........as far away from CC as possible. Make sure you give my little soldier a big kiss and cuddle and tell him how special he is......

I'm afraid even though Mitro might be a really nice guy he embodies everything that has gone wrong at Fulham for me.
You know he's like somebody you instantly dislike, not for anything they have personally done wrong to you, but because there is something about them that reminds you of a really bad experience.

Greek, I don't imagine that you expected Mitroglou to fail as he did here and certainly didn't expect the hateful posts. I also suspect you took them personally. I always felt that in the right situation he would have contributed.  However, he came in hurt and then we started the revolving manager door.  He, like the rest of the club, did not benefit from it. In my 11-12 years as a FFC supporter there has always been a player who took a lot of heat. Wither warranted or not is irrelevant. I wish him and you well. Stop by occasionally and give us updates on Kasaml & Mitroglou. Try not to gloat if Mitroglou scores a bunch.

Post by: Greek on September 16, 2014, 11:53:29 PM
You are confusing me with the other Greek member mitrogol  something.

I stated from day one, my first post (http://www.friendsoffulham.com/forum/index.php?topic=38346.msg517158#msg517158 (http://www.friendsoffulham.com/forum/index.php?topic=38346.msg517158#msg517158)), this was a dangerous move, for both Olympiakos and Fulham for many reasons - Mitroglou's languid style, the speed of the prem, certain unforgiving fans - who like Magath wrote him off, the inexperience and desperation of the Fulham's backroom staff, medical team, ownership and certain fans and journalists not knowing what type of animal he is. This was always going to be a difficult marriage, esp as it seems Mitroglou had an injury.

As for whether Mitroglou is a nice guy or not, i don't know if he is or even care. All I care about is success. What happened at Fulham did not reflect well on Mitroglou, Fulham or Olympiakos. He was and is much loved at Olympiakos - just watch his reaction at scoring.. and I 'hoped' he would succeed at the cottage - a stadium I have watched games in and a stadium Mitroglou never kicked a football in which is insane. I suggested Magath wrap the guy in wool and make him the centre of attention for the good of Fulham - to which certain fans said how much his wages are and that he should be man - like anyone gives a fcuk.. surely all that matters to a club sliding down the prem is goals? Or am I missing something in English footballing culture? This is not some trialist throwing his toys out the pram and being punnished so he knows his place. This is a proven CL striker that Fulham should have done all in their power to make him useful - the exact opposite of what magath did.

This thread was not a gloat - it was a mirror to magath and a lesson learned in football culture to some of the more obtuse fans.

We don't know this. He wasn't fit when he arrived, he didn't look great in the World Cup, maybe he's only now back to full fitness. Maybe he wanted to play and wasn't given the chance - that was the impression gained by some Fulham fans the other week from the man himself. Before we slag him off, let's be sure of the facts.
Darren Bent on the other hand....

Magath even stated Mitroglou was a mistake... This is not sensible behavior.

Don't understand the hatred for Mitroglou in here. Yeah he was expensive and didn't play but that was because Magath froze him out just like he did to Holtby, Tunicliffe, Ruiz, Larnell Cole, Mesca, Amorebieta, Rodallega....hardly Mitroglou's fault. He is on record as saying he wanted to play. It just looks worse because he cost so much and we pinned so much hope on him.

If he plays like he did tonight and like he can do I would welcome him back with open arms, what sane fan wouldn't? It's ok to be disappointed with how the transfer panned out and angry with Ali Mac and Magath, but the personal abuse for Mitroglou is unwarranted. Good luck to him - hope he does well this season.

I agree, I've written satirical stuff, but I don't think he has been given a 'fair hearing'
It does take all sorts of people in this world, some we like, some we don't and some
rapists and real arseholes.
These people are in all walks of life, we meet them everyday.
And yet, here's a geezer who nobody knows and I go back to the moralistic "we don't
know the real truth, we can only surmise".
I defy anyone to categorically prove that he is a 'conman' and all of the other abusive
things that have been said.
$10 or a ticket to see the new Noddy movie to the first person to prove any of this drivel

So how can we really put him in the "ducking stool "

+ the unnecessary criticism of "Greek" who came 'in peace"

Comments from Mitroglou:

Mitroglou rediscovers scoring touch after England disappointment
By REUTERS
PUBLISHED: 00:10, 17 September 2014 | UPDATED: 00:10, 17 September 2014
   
By Graham Wood
ATHENS, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Kostas Mitroglou banished the memories of his disappointing spell in England after breaking a 10-month goal drought as Olympiakos Piraeus secured a thrilling 3-2 Champions League win over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old striker, who had last scored in November 2013 in a World Cup playoff for Greece, grabbed the third goal in what was a stunning victory for the Greek champions in their Group A opener.
Mitroglou was at Fulham last season but struggled with injury and loss of form and made only one start for the London club as they were relegated from the Premier League.
"I came to Olympiakos to help them and for the club also to help me," Mitroglou told reporters.
"I know what I can do and today I just played the way I know how to play football. It is important that (Olympiakos coach) Michel is in the dugout. He knows me and we have mutual trust and after finding my feet again tonight I feel absolutely fine."

Olympiakos were handed a dream start when slack Atletico marking at a corner allowed young French defender Arthur Masuaku to drill home a low shot.
It got even better for the hosts just after the half-hour mark when Ibrahim Afellay doubled the advantage.
Mario Mandzukic pulled a goal back for Atletico - last year's Champions League runners-up - seven minutes before halftime, but the visitors fell behind again to Mitroglou's 73rd-minute strike on the turn from Pajtim Kasami's centre.
Atletico substitute Antoine Griezmann set up a tense finish with a close-range strike with four minutes left, but Michel's team clung on for victory.
It was a win which left Atletico coach Diego Simeone, who was serving a touchline ban, with plenty to mull over.
"Obviously this was a very negative result for us," said the Argentine.
"Clearly Olympiakos are in a good position and what we feel now is a higher sense of responsibility to turn things around.
"We did threaten all throughout the match, but they (Olympiakos) were very determined and they got a valuable win."
NO FEAR
Masuaku, who scored the opener on his Champions League debut, believes Olympiakos have no need to fear the bigger clubs.
"We are a young team, but we showed today that we have good chemistry," the 20-year-old said.
"This helps in football, when you have a strong connection with your team mates then you play good football and score goals. I don't think we should fear anyone based on the way we have played," the former Valenciennes player added.
Atletico's French forward Antoine Griezmann praised the home fans, who created an intimidating atmosphere that helped contribute to a memorable night for the hosts.
"I take my hat off to the Olympiakos fans; they were incredible and made a difference," he told reporters.
"We didn't underestimate Olympiakos, our coach had told us that we would be up against an excellent team and it showed on the pitch. We have to try not to repeat the same mistakes in the next match if we want to bounce back." (Editing by Justin Palmer and Toby Davis)

Agree.  I watched Ruiz play well here in Los Angeles the other night and now have seen a Kasami/Mitroglou goal in Champions League today.

Makes me sick.  Can't wait for extended "highlights" of Magath's bunch on Thursday.

I love Fulham and always thought promotion would take two seasons at best, but this start is just horrible.  How could it be worse?  One point?  I'm an optimist, but damn!

COYWs!!!!!

Well if those questions were asked to those fans they could simply say 'no'. "I support fulham because I love the club and take pride in cheering on everyone who wears the black and white, not just my country man."

I have no issue with where fulham fans come from, who am I to dictate? Im not racist or ignorant either but joining a fulham  forum and then obsessively following one countryman even though he is out on loan is a bit odd where I come from.

Theres a big difference between stalking one player with no love for our club and being a foreigner in the fulham family. Dont get the two mixed up because I think the latter is wonderful.

I love beckham but I didnt follow him to madrid, milan or mls. In fact I had so much of my energy focused on fulham that I didnt really give a toss. It was nice to see him do well but at the end of the day following him would be pointless

Agree with the OP, a run of games, someone in his ear telling him he's wanted here and a manager that isn't a clown and Mitro would've ripped this division apart and recouped his fee.

Maybe Khan made shipping him out compulsory who knows.

Post by: Peacock on September 17, 2014, 07:27:54 AM
It was not about affection. He came to Fulham after a fairly bad injury. To a different style of football. He eventually played one and a half games for Fulham a team who were not exactly pulling up trees! Or playing to the style he was familiar with. He was labelled a flop based on that. The problem was Fulham buying an injured player and then hiring magath!!! Still if Mitroglu had run around like a headless chicken everyone would have praised him. The fact is he has scored 9 champions league goals in 13 games against good sides not to mention his international goals. Fact is he was never given a chance with an extended run. If there is any blame to be attached I suggest people should look closer to home. Trust me I am not trolling here I'm just saying it as I see it. Oh and I can assure anyone who is interested that the average Olympiakos fan couldn't give two hoots about the national team. It's all about Olympiakos.

Sorry in addition the fella that has been trolling on here is probably not obsessed he probably got frustrated by reading the tripe in the papers and wherever detailing what a useless so and so Mitroglu was when clearly he was not and was not being given the same respect that for example that 30 million pound crock Andy Carroll was.

I'm someone who always spoke up in support for Mitro - and was  genuinely upset that I never got to see him at his best, and regularly playing for us. I thought that might happen this season.........

I even said that I thought he did well in the WC - all things considered, when everyone else seemed to criticise him.

But I don't want to blame anyone for the whole fiasco surrounding his transfer, and his hardly playing  for us, because I just don't know why?/what?/how?/ who?/ - but one person I would never blame is Mitro himself, whom I've always felt sympathy for in this situation which must have been very difficult for him, and I'm glad he is doing well now.

I think Rogers means that questions such as he listed should not even be asked. Doing so has a bit of arrogance about it. As I've said before, something brings you to Fulham. Being born in SW6 is only one way. I'm sure there are some that were Fulham fans and then followed a favorite to another team.

Are you seriously only a member on here because mitroglou played for fulham???






I'm getting Deja Vu (not necessarily from you)

Are you seriously only a member on here because Eddie Lewis played for Fulham
Are you seriously only a member on here because Carlos Bocanegra played for Fulham
Are you seriously only a member on here because Bryan McBride played for Fulham
Are you seriously only a member on here because Eddie Johnson played for Fulham
Are you seriously only a member on here because Kasey Keller played for Fulham
Are you seriously only a member on here because Brian McBride played for Fulham
Are you seriously only a member on here because Emerson Hyndman plays for Fulham
Are you seriously only a member on here because Shahid Khan bought Fulham

You should have been in the bar in Jacksonville (I know, I'm going on about it again) but
I was amongst a lot of serious, knowledgeable and passionate American fans.

It could be that my memory is faded but some of those geezers knew more about the current
and history of Fulham.
They've paid me to say this but Yankee Jim, Love4FFC, JohnnyBoy, Andy Reimer and MAOConnor
all were as invested in the club as I, and all of us are.

Global Branding and Marketing


Well if those questions were asked to those fans they could simply say 'no'. "I support fulham because I love the club and take pride in cheering on everyone who wears the black and white, not just my country man."

I have no issue with where fulham fans come from, who am I to dictate? Im not racist or ignorant either but joining a fulham  forum and then obsessively following one countryman even though he is out on loan is a bit odd where I come from.

Theres a big difference between stalking one player with no love for our club and being a foreigner in the fulham family. Dont get the two mixed up because I think the latter is wonderful.

I love beckham but I didnt follow him to madrid, milan or mls. In fact I had so much of my energy focused on fulham that I didnt really give a toss. It was nice to see him do well but at the end of the day following him would be pointless

I think Rogers means that questions such as he listed should not even be asked. Doing so has a bit of arrogance about it. As I've said before, something brings you to Fulham. Being born in SW6 is only one way. I'm sure there are some that were Fulham fans and then followed a favorite to another team. However someone got here is unimportant; it only matters that you are here and love Fulham.  049:gif

I joined to discuss mitroglou and tell you what to expect having watched him most his career. As far as I was concerned I wanted him to do well and Fulham. Is that not allowed?

that is allowed and comendable but you never expected he wouldn't play and we paid a fortune for the privelidge plus got relegated partly because we had no class striker.

I thought there was a chance of a disaster - read my first ever post on these forums that is more of a dark  foreboding and warning than anything resembling a big up of mitroglou..

Greeks in general have difficulties with the pace of the premiership. I stated from day 1 this was a massive gamble if the club did not act mature with this transfer. The injury - i did not know the extent, but I knew and said he looked off in his last games for olympiakos last season.

So you are now crossing your fingers for Mitroglou to keep scoring so that Olympiacos will buy him back??LMAO
The only mistake that the owner did is that he bought a player for 15mil euros for a manager that wanted him and knew what was Kostas capable (Rene Meulensteen ) fired and brought Mr Felix Magath well known for all the clubs he distroyed.

Anyway i would like to thank Mr Magath not only for letting Mitrogoal leave on loan but thank him also about Kasami.

Hope the choice of the next coach will be made more wisely

P.S Yes Olympiacos would buy him back for half the money. But not be surprised if he sells him again for 15 mil

I hope Mitroglou scores 20+ goals this season as he will still be a Fulham player & we can then decide to have him back or sell him at a better price than now.
