¿Se va a Grecia?

"Record comenta que los griegos del AEK Atenas están interesados que el mexicano le sea cedido y que se mantiene la incógnita de si saldrá o no del Benfica."

[mpy041]

when will we know if he's staying for sure?

Before February I'm guessing.

O Jogo reports that Tigres are going to pay 3 million euros for Kikin. It is up to Kikin to decide.

[Kikinf17]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo kikin dont do that move no no no

[mixtil36]

If it is between Tigres and AEK Atenas, he should go to Greece. It will do him better so more Euro teams can look at him and he will still be in Europe.

[NachoNation]

I'm all for players going to Europe and playing against tougher competition, but why are you guys so dead set on him staying if he is making a move down.

Is the Mexican league better than the Greeks? Who's to know, but I think it is.

If he's not making at least a lateral move, then come on home broder!

The greek league may not be better than the Mexican league but the thing is that the greek clubs have access to CL and UEFA which is excellent competitions to get experience.

I understand that, but Mexican clubs have acces to the Libertadores and Sudamericana. Maybe it's not the CL, but it's pretty damn good competition. When the Club World Cup comes around, it's been won by Brazilian squads lately. That says a lot about what competition there is to offer on this side of the world.

Yeah Libertadores and Sudamericana is competitive . Our Mexican players get experience from participating in South American competitions which is why Mexico is dominant vs most South American teams and Mexico at times can handle Brazil and Argentina pretty well.
But when we play European teams we sometimes struggle and some of our players seem intimidated vs teams like France , England etc , Players like Marquez who play in Europe are not intimidated at all by european union teams because he gots the experience .
Kikin needs the experience to play in Europe and gain confidence and Experience. The greek league may be atrocious but the greeks have a euro up their sleeve.

I dont think kikin will take this offer..as i said EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON TOMORROW´S MATCH if he has a good match and scores...i think he has a chance to stay on benfica or go to aek..

Excellent retort. Although at this point, I think we have enough players over there to make a difference in the locker room. When a player might feel intimidated, he can look to the likes of Salcido, Marquez, Osorio and Pardo. I'm pretty sure thier calm and confident demeanor would have an effect on the rest of the team. That's why I don't think Kikin would be better served in the Greek league. If he's going to another league, then it should at least be a lateral move.

I think our players have serious balls now a days. They're not the players of the past who had complejos. That's why some of these recent acquisitions are making immediate impacts.

Great news..just what Kikin needs. I think he has good luck against zee Germans:D ..he played great against them in the confederations and with a good performace he just might solidify his spot in Benfica. Lets hope he does.

[Mosco]

See Kikin has already played Mexican footie he has been their done that, he needs to experience euro footie so i agree with him going to Aek Greece their I think he will do better that way kikin can play aginst taller players and willl know how to put up with size. Him going to Tigres won't help much just put him back where he was from the start.

[Kikinf17]

Surprise! Kikin Did Not F/cking Play

[ar2ro]

Surprise! Kikin Did Not F/cking Play

He wasn't even on the bench!
Now to start a rumor: Perhaps his sale/loan is imminent and they didn't want to risk an injury.

[becauseigothigh]

Any new news on kikin?
