Pretty sure there are some anagrams there.
I put it in an anagram solver and it suggested this;

For the last three or four years, a player with options of us or Everton would pick us nine times out of ten, for various reasons.

Now they're finally moving out of that crumbling shed Goodison Park (you probably haven't heard about this as it's barely been mentioned in the media) and into a big shiny new stadium, they may become ever so slightly more attractive to prospective signings. Albeit ones who are willing to play in Moyes' system.

Spell checker could be more foe than friend for most of us if we end up signing him.

Greece is clearly a market we’ve identified as under valued at the moment. I think there’s a lot of good talent in those leagues, they’ve done pretty well in Europe recently, the national team is a bit of an enigma though, although their performance at Wembley recently was superb.

Greek in Hamburg, GER
So Vagiannidis (in greek "g" is pronounced "y" you dirty minded :D ) plays for the team I support in Greece (Panathinaikos) and he is one of those who stand out (not that it is hard considering our team, but anyway, he would still be a stand out even when we were better). He has improved a lot the past two years and keeps on improving, that led to him becoming the current RB of our youthful NT.

He was the starting RB of the game in Scotland and gave the first assist. Watch it here :



Further video of his offensive creativity and cross here (2:20)



Sporting Lisbon is trying to sign him two years now, but they don't increase the offer of 8M Euro. Portuguese teams tend to buy low and sell high.
Last year PAO rejected offers from Botafogo, Sporting and Zenit.

A realistic value would be 8-10M (in Euro), Panathinaikos will try to get the max possible because Inter Milan still owns 38% of his rights.

What type of player is he ? He is a good defender but where he really shines is when he plays almost the whole right wing.

Here is his season heatmap, him being everywhere on the right side.

His offensive and creative skills are top line for RB. His cross is very good, but his vision even better. He is very intelligent. Also plays with heart and passion.

Bottom line if you need a RB just to defend and tackle, he shouldn't be your fist choice. If you need a modern creative RB capable of playing the whole right side I doubt you can find many better at his age and for about 10M GBP.
