He is physically dominant and will take players out of the game fast. His ball distibution might not be EPL standard yet, but he will adapt. I hate when people judge him from his days at rangers and assume its what he is now. He has grown a lot since those days. Believe me since he started leading the NT he has been dominant. I have been following this player for years, his jersey is one of the few hung on my wall. He shouldnt be just a filling in the absence of skrtl. He is better than him. Skrtl will have to fight for his spot.

That is quite possibily the most ridiculous comment posted on this entire thread. No worse than that, ever posted, ever.

The only similarities between Skrtel and Kyrkiagos is that they both have arms, legs and a head. That's where it ends.

I believe he's better than skrtl. I probably know more about Srktl than you know about Soto.

Come on, he's a fan of a team, he has been supporting a player, and he comes to give us info, it's somewhat normal he has appreciates the player more than a player he doesn't follow regularly.

What Greekster says is true, no matter how cráp he was in Rangers, he may be perfectly a totally different player now. CB is a position in which if you are a good learner, you can evolve. Experience is a great asset in that position. For what Greekster says, he's dominant, for what Rafa says he's got experience, and we definitely could use that.

Its good to see foreign fans coming on here and giving us an insight to players they know about.I for one appreciate them doing so anyway cause I know little of this new defender!

You seem to have a very high opinion of Skrtel,hes average at best and a fuc'king liability at times IMO..there is no way he is a long time solution in our defence!
Its by no means impossible that this guy could turn out a better player..lets give him a chance before we call him sh'ite and all the rest!

And leave the guys alone,you should respect them for taking the time to come on here and give us their opinions...lets face it none of us know much.Of course we get the usual co'cks that go on wiki,youtube,do a bit of googling then come on and are experts on players they have never set eyes on!

[redbeergoggles]

Any thoughts on a nickname for this guy?  Sotirios Kyrgiakos seems a bit of a mouthful and maybe KY wouldn't be the best choice either...

How about Sock .

You'll end up calling him the Greek or Soto

Look at the pics from the press conference. Does this guy look nervous?

p.s. the site i linked is the top greek football site on the net.

[Kukilon]

Give the big one a chance. Why slate him before he has even played a game?

[Dazzer]

Read some of the posts on that site fair play you greeks have a good sense of humour. 

Kosta : does he do the interviews in english or greek?
can he speak english?

Sydlending: He speaks Kyrgian. Its a magic language that everybody understands.

[GreeksterPAO]

thats funny lol

[Kukilon]

Imagine playing Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Kuyt, Mascherano, Ngog and Carragher on the same team. The only ones missing would be Tevez, Ribery to make the most hideous team in the world. Just seeing that huge greek would be enough for me to cross the street just in case.

Picture an evening kick off with flood lights dazzling your eyes, the turf trembles under your feet and the last thing you remember before you wake up in hospital is a great big fecken Greek called 'Soto the Greek' bearing down on you - all 6'5" of him with breath stinking of Ouzo.  "Rafas secret weapon 2009".

Lets give this lad a chance, I cant wait to see him play!

[Ben Patrick]

get some of them greeks on board here 

loved this post...............




I just red this on RAWK from imo the best poster on the board (Juan Loco), about Torres' black eye:

I hear they start to appear if you stand within 10 feet of Kyrgiakos. It's natural camoflauge. Some lizards change colour to blend with their enviroment. Human beings develop cuts and bruises in the hope that Sotiris shows mercy. Sotiris knows no mercy.

Voronin looks absolutely chuffed to have someone else with long hair training alongside him. Wouldn't surprise me if he's already had a word with Sotiris the Merciful about joining his Tolkein Metal band White Tower. They need a keyboard player.
