 They bought Ethymis Kouloucheris (defender) and even more importantly Paulo Costa and Nikos Skarmoutsos to empower their attack.The buys seemed exactly spot on, all immediately establishing themselves in the line up, helping Aris a lot in the attacking sector, which further meant that Gougoulias' starting spot had been in doubt, eventually losing it, with only being an occasional starter, consequently dropping his great scoring ratio.Aris came back to the first division, and in the season 2006/07, after huge roster sweeping where Aris totally lived a rebirth and squad upgrades with superior quality players, compared to the previous seasons, with the likes of Koke, Javito, Weisheimer etc., Gougoulias lost completely his spot and never was trusted by coaches Hoyos and Quique Hernandez at the time.
