Geez! Kids these days! Does he look like he's only 17?

Nope. Misremembering which has certainly come to me.
Transpires that they paid c£10m for him just after he turned 18.

Well greek matters again, so I will try to shed some light 
Even though he plays for our arch rivals I can't say something bad about the kid.
He is a huge talent with no limit if he continues to evolve like this.
In the 17-18 years old range, the biggest talents from Greece currently are : Karetsas (Genk), Kostoulas and Mouzakitis (both Olympiakos )
The biggest issue with players that young is if they will reach their potential and how you can evaluate them when they played in the Greek league.
One good indication is that Olympiakos has very good youth facilities and academy (and I admit it even though I hate their guts).
Biggest poof is that Olympiakos won the UEFA Youth League last year and the stars where Kostoulas (8 Games - 5 goals 2 assist) and Mouzakitis.
Furthermore even though just 17 he already had 35 games with the senior squad most of them in the starting 11.
He is very good technical both as AM and all striker positions. This is a good compilation and pretty recent clips :
One negative fact for making a deal is that the owner of Olympiakos, is also the owner of Not.Forest, so he will try to squeeze any other PL team.
Someone could also ask why doesn't Nottingham buy him , a practise that Marinakis loves (to laund...transfer money through his teams ).
Marinakis might be passionate about football, but as a human being he is very questionable-to say the least. An excellent read if you like crime stories :

Having said all that, as a 17 year old he is in the top 10 someone can buy right now. If he reaches he potential he is a steal, if not...but this is a risk with almost any 17 year old not named Yamal.

I'm grateful for them. I already know that the Joao Pedro red card was so la plage could be sampled and that he won't be turning up for our remaining two fixtures, and will be intrigued to discover who's staying or going as a result of these experts en langage corporel.

Ah but that nice Mr Marinakis has had to put all his Forest shares into a blind trust to ensure compliance with UEFA rules in the event both his teams are involved in European competition next season, which means he's not allowed any say in Forest transfers. And an honourable, law-abiding gentleman like him will most certainly abide by those rules 100%, I am sure.One negative fact for making a deal is that the owner of Olympiakos, is also the owner of Not.Forest, so he will try to squeeze any other PL team.

Still in Corfu at the moment and the hosts of our place cooked our meal last night. Hubby is a Panathanaikos fan and wife Olympiakos. They reckon he’s a star in the making!
