Sotirios Kyrgiakos - the Wolfsburg days

I hate the fact he has a ponytail.
No good can come from that.

Patrik Berger managed alright with one.

I'm sure our Torres could manage a pony tail if he wanted.

So what will we do?    Drop him! :

Good luck Spiros! Hope Ayala still gets a chance...he looked good for a 18 year old on his full debut.

Welcome big guy!

Good stuff, it shall be interesting to see if he gets the nod as early as Monday.

Is he the first greek LFC player?

You may have a point there actually, I can't think of any others...

I think during the Rudduck days he may have left a little greek on the field after a heavy kebab night

Welcome Sotirios,yet another former club captain in our squad.I can't wait to see him against Wayne Rooney, a little bit of intimidation please Sotis.

i know we needed a defender but come on The guy is a Rangers reject! Hopefully he can prove me wrong and do a good job covering for Skrtel and Agger.

Have we got any videos of young Satirios' unveiling?

Welcome Sotirios,hope you do the job you where bought for.IRWT

Welcome Sotirios,hope you do the job you where bought for.

Yeah, it'd be silly if he started working in the kitchen serving the grub, wouldn't it?

Concentrate on doing your job, Sotty, not other people's!

Hope he proves to be a very solid signing and not another piss poor excuse like Doss. But hell, for 1.5mil if he is any sort of decent we have done really well in todays market. Welcome, enjoy your time at the greatest club in the world

Welcome Sotis to LFC.  Hope you will do very well.  Is he for sure playing against the villians?

guys am from greece and sotis was in my team. he is very good in the air and good (for a defender) with the ball. he has a hot temper but dont forget that in greece we all have a hot temper and thats one of the reason fans love him and opponents hate him. am sure there he will be passionate and carefull and cool at the same time. he fits perfectly in english football and he always give advices and helps younger players. he is a leader, we will miss him but we are excited about him. so fingers crossed for our sotis!!

Welcome Ael. & thanks for your comments. We need a v.good back up & I think he is one.

Most of all the mediterranian islands are hot temper like me (Maltese).

I see he's signed a two year contract, same as Sami wanted and I know who I prefer. Anyway he's gone, and his replacements here, I was thinking about the Greek national team, I imagine this guy has played for years with them, every-time I've watched the national team they look hard to beat, not only that they play the game the right way, if anything this guy will be an asset to LFC, Rafa wanted experience and that's what he's got.

Those like Ayala and Kelly shouldn't worry, we needed another centre back, just look at the treatment table, and for the price he looks a bargain, or the transfers are coming back to reality, but whatever has got him here, I hope his career turns to gold and he can help us bring home the trophy's...

Seen a couple of people put this now, but I don't see the point.

Sami wanted regular football, not to sit on the bench most matches or the odd run out in the early stages of a cup run. Maybe if Sami had known in advance all the injuries we were going to have, he'd have stayed, because at least at this stage, he'd be starting every match!

Your right why drag up what might have been, no point really. He's no replacement for Sami, he's here because of an injury list, all I hope is if he's as half as good as Sami the he'll do......

I'm all for giving Kelly and Ayala "the youth" a chance to break through but if Carra gets injured in the coming weeks would you really want to rely on that partnership at the back.

Another shrewd move by Rafa IMO - We need a bit of controlled aggression at the back to ruffle some feathers. I wish him all the best! Come on the Reds.

Agree entirely mate.

The only thing that concerns me is the talk of his temper. It'll be great if he can control it, but we don't want to see stupid fouls in or around the box.

Certainly looking forward to seeing him play on Monday.

Welcome to him, he's passed the medical and signed, hopefully he'll start on Monday and give us a solid experienced CB option alongside Carra.
