MILANO - Il portiere Dimitrios Eleftheropoulos ha firmato un contratto con il Milan fino al 30 giugno 2006. Il portiere greco è nato ad Atene il 7 agosto 1976 e nella stagione scorsa ha giocato nel Messina con la maglia numero 21.

Guess we signed a new second choice keeper then, after Abbiati left for Genoa...

Welcome, Dimitrios!

Welcome Dimi

I never heard of this guy lol

---------------------

Milan have moved quickly to replace Christian Abbiati in their squad by signing Greek ‘keeper Dimitrios Eleftheropoulos.

The shot-stopper has signed a one-year contract after Abbiati left the Italian giants for Genoa earlier today.

Eleftheropoulos, who was born in Athens on August 7, 1976, spent last season at Messina before his contract expired.

The 28-year-old, who made 10 Serie A appearances last term, will wear the No 21 shirt and provide cover for first choice ‘keeper Nelson Dida.

IMO a good signing

zlatanov · 04-07-2005, 13:27

I think he played for Olympiakos for quite some time before they let him go and took in his place Panathinaikos' legendary Greek International Keeper Nikopolidis, if I remember correctly.
Eleftheropoulos had been quite impressive for Olympiakos but for some reason things went bad between player and club and they let him go. I remember, 5-6 years ago before Abbiati emerged in the 1st Milan team, Eleftheropoulos being mentioned, along with Dynamo Kiev's Shovkovski, as a very possible target for Milan.
Back then he was 22-23 yo and was having amazing performances in the CL for Olympiakos.

Welcome Eleftheropoulos, you are a very good keeper!

Gattuso8 · 04-07-2005, 13:53

I watched some games of panathinaikos like 5 years ago an d he seemed great for me was the best player on the pitch , Good signing

aceventura · 04-07-2005, 15:08

i have a big doubt about this signing and milan board have the same doubt because he signed only for one season. He havent played regukery for Messina and he didnt show big things in italy. Fiori might be our second goalkieper and Ele will be the third.

zlatanov · 04-07-2005, 15:31

neither did Dida at first, not to mention Crespo in England. My point - the environment at the club can do wonders - both in negative and positive sense - with a player. Eleftheropoulus, at the peak of his career before he got kicked out of Olympiakos - it was an off-the field incident that caused that - is better keeper than Abbiati. The Greek simply had the misfortune to have his career taken off-tracks by football politics and that's why he has been more or less in oblivion for the past 2-3 years or so. If we show faith and support for him, he could give Dida a run for his money, a much more serious run than Abbiati ever did.

Henrik · 04-07-2005, 16:15

Welcome to Milan Eleftheropoulus

I know nothing of this guy, so I reserve my judgement for later...
