Leto: Olympiakos row

 

Liverpool midfielder Sebastian Leto's loan deal with Olympiakos is in the balance following a row with coach Ernesto Valverde.

 

The Argentine midfielder moved to the Greek club on a one-year loan in the summer after failing to secure a work permit to play in the Premier League.

 

Leto was left out of the Olympiakos squad for the weekend clash with Panathinaikos and then stepped out of line during a training session.

 

The 22-year-old is reported to have begun kicking footballs around wildly after refusing to train with the rest of the team, with Valverde and his assistant both struck.

 

Valverde told the club's official website: "During yesterday's training there was an issue with Sebastian Leto, which for the umpteenth time was a disciplinary offence - forcing me to send him to the dressing room.

 

"I have informed the administration about this particular incident, and it is now up to them to decide the action needed. As I have said in the past, discipline is a fundamental concern for the calmness of the team."

 

Leto's contract with Olympiakos included a clause that he would have to play at least 30 games this season; otherwise the Greek side would have to pay a fine to Liverpool.

 

The Buenos Aires-born left winger, who has impressed with his combination of pace and trickery, completed 31 games last week in the UEFA Cup match against Saint Etienne which saw Valverde's men go out 5-2 on aggregate.

[hamstrung]

There's a Greek word that translates as "umpteenth"?

Define "begun".

[JMARKH]

So basically we signed a player who is not even good enough for Olympiakos when one of their big games comes round.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

well, hes been one of their best players all year.

 

benny has been one of our best players this year but got dropped against borough.

 

the manager probably went with a different set up.

 

eitherway, the only reason he was pissed was probably because of how well hes been playing with them

 

no exagguration...

[WaltonRed]

Its got to be a lie, it says he kicked the balls and they actually hit something

[sh#t waffle]

He completed 31 games in one week? And played in a week long Uefa Cup game? My head hurts.

Do you fancy playing a game?

 

I'l come up with any piece of news about football and you have to try and turn it into a dig at our manager?

 

I reckon you'll batter me at it but I love a challenge.

[robslappa]

There was a thread on here a few weeks/months back which had a video of a goal he scored. If you can be arsed looking it up, it's a cracking goal.

[Ted]

Stock is low, release him.

[The Infamous_LF]

Don't think he is a bad player at all will probably play well for a decent sized team Liverpool is a step above his level at the moment.

 

Scored a few crackers I heard

[Karl_b]

Gotta love Ted playing the stock market.

[Ted]

Gotta speculate to accentuate, hermano.

[aladdinsane]

They were arguing over whose hair is better.

Don't challenge him to the game of 'I can look a bigger cunt than anybody'

 

He'd win but it 'd be close Stu.

[RobbieOR]

Yes it's called upteenthopolis.

[Unrighteous]

Surely, Deportivo will need a replacement for Guardado soon...

[Fugitive]

Now that Lucas has chopped off the locks, we should take him back.

[sir roger]

Was Phil Thompson there?

 

Ha Ha

 

There was a great story in Crouchy's autobiography about when he was a youngster at Spurs & Ruel Fox got made to train with the youngsters. He was not happy and spent the next few weeks twatting the ball at David Pleat's head whenever he showed up to monitor training.

Goalara!

[dirty_sanchez]

Great finish, but that number five might as well have been Stephen Hawking for all the effort he went to to tackle him.
