Aye i suppose in that respect AFU there very similar, never thought of it like that
As for Samaras Kiko he's Pearce's rough diamond that never got polished, he's a confidence player and was never suited to the fast pace of the Prem as he never got time on the ball, I used to call him twinkle toes.
He's probably more suited to continental football where he has time to turn and have a look round, then i have no doubt he'll start scoring again as he does with Greece.
His first touch is shocking and don't expect him to go past people as he can't run with the ball and when he does he has a tendency to balloon it.
he's like an old fashioned center forward and will score if the ball comes to him inside the box either with his head or feet, if you can afford to accomodate a player like than then fine but don't expect him to hold the ball up, pass or get stuck in as he just can't do it.
