Sorry to add this, but if you had never watched a game of football how would you form an opinion? That is not exactly a strong idea to compliment your argument.

I hate keyboard bullies.
So hope that comes back to bite you. And you don't have to know anything about football to know that it just might.

Because you would be able to tell he doesn’t have either the physical attributes or ability. Just a couple of weeks ago I was at a Champ playoff game with some people who’d hardly watched football and they clearly identified who the decent players were (and those who weren’t)
It won’t. He will never contribute meaningfully for a club in the top half of the Premier League.
And I’m not bullying at all. He’s not up to this level. That’s all I’m saying. He isn’t.

Well, being a literal kind of person, you have changed your statement from 'never' to 'hardly watched football'. Either way, it seems a poor metric to use. I will reserve my judgement until we see more, if we see more, there is simply too small a sample size of him playing to merit such condemnation.
No. I'm always right.

Fair enough, but plenty of fans bemoan the lack of loyalty from players. No wonder a lot want to leave as soon as they get a better offer from a bigger club with more money etc.
Obviously, his debut was unimpressive but he's played a grand total of 19 minutes for us across 2 sub appearances. The club kept tabs on him for years, have a wealth of data, and think there's potential. I'm not going to write him off yet.

Jesus, this thread has been derailed in a spectacular way 
if you want to slag off or defend Cashin great, but this thread should be about Kostoulas, no?
Any more updates on the 'Greek Boy Wonder' coming our way via Twitter, etc? (for those of us who aren't on it)

A lot of chatter but no new info. Sounds like it's happening though
Unbelievable that some think they can write a player off from just over 18 minutes of football!

I mean, we- and I am as guilty as anyone- have managed to turn a thread about Pervis Estupiñan into a debate about the Barco sagaJesus, this thread has been derailed in a spectacular way

Very true, but the question is, potential for what? To play, or buy and flip for a profit? Or loan out for repeat income loan fees like Sima and Scherpen et al.

More Greeks. £30m Euros for this one.

We will be lucky if Chelsea does not land this one. Kostoulas is the nr1 best young teen player in Greece at the moment. He is member of a promising new generation of players, the kids who smashed Scotland 0-3 a few months ago. The only problem is that he may find Brighton fans too...soft and quiet, compared with the madness at Olympiacos games.

I don't think Chelsea have a young Greek forward to play alongside, learn English, acclimatise together etc.

It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise, players can be written off much quicker than that on here!

Some fans will write off players before they have even SINGED for the club, let alone actually got out onto the pitch!

Someone should have told O’Riley and Kadioglu!
That appears to be exactly what Fab has done though.
It is not unreasonable to think his lack of minutes is down mainly to the alarming lack of pace he showed in his appearance?
How do you think he could overcome this in such a demanding league? It would be targeted every game.
His lack of height (5ft9ins? )was a concern too, but you do get the occasional top class short cb.
He also didn’t have the physique of your standard prem cb, but again that may not matter.
(This isn’t a personal attack on Cashin btw. I am sure he is a great guy, his passing was fine and you never know).
