Transfer News And Rumors - Summer 2016

[Bajewy]

Newest rumor is Leicester is looking at Lucas.

The thought of the epl winners fighting over Barcelona for him is getting me excited.

Edit: this probably should have gone in paok previous players.

Looks like PAOK and Copenhagen are close to a deal to sell Olsen to the Danish team.

[BostonThanatos]

I heard he had a great year for them, pity he sucked donkey balls for us...but if can recoup some money, that'd be great, since we can't recoup any of the many points he cost us, that lanky coksucker

 

On an unrelated note, Skatofatsa Donis is getting $3M from Al halil to leave....I should have been a coach. They get paid more to be fired than they do to work.

Euthimis Koulouris will return from Cyprus with a year experience on his resume. He played 26 games and scored 13 goals for Anorthosis. I like this little fella.

[pash]

Risky to make him our #1 (assuming Klaus goes), but he definitely needs to start getting some time with us. And not just once every 6-7 weeks.

[Blackhawk]

I still think Olsen is a better goalie than either Glykos or Vellidis. It just did not work out for him at PAOK. It's probably better for both sides to split ways.

 

As for Koulouris, I don't see how he can make it at PAOK. As it stands now Klaus will be above him, and if we as a team want to go anywhere, we need a better striker than Klaus to be the starter. I see him as a 3rd stringer if he comes back to the team. I just hope they are not that stupid at PAOK and decide not to get a top notch striker during the transfer period. 

[PAOKSWEDEN]

I can't see Klaus staying if he's not going to be our first choice. The chinese paid 2,5 million for Giannou so hopefully they can make an offer around 4-5 million for Klaus. 

 

Dutch Eagle// He scored 5 of those 13 goals in one match in the cup.

[Dutch Eagle]

PAOKSWEDEN// Now you mention it. I did see that match and goals.

[PAOKSWEDEN]

Great news for you today Dutch Eagle; PAOK will have the pre season camp in the Netherlands again.

[Nea Bafra]

Klaous will not go to China, the chinese paid 2.5 million for Giannou because he is Australian and in the asian conference you can have 3 foreigners +1 asian conference foreigner. For Klaous to go he would be taking the place of a Brazilian/Argentine/Italian/Spaniard in other words no chance. Giannou was fighting for his spot against the likes of australians/japanese [who dont really go to chinese teams] and koreans. The pool of players to choose form between the two is vastly different and Klaous is not that good.

[Klaous]

I can't imagine Klaous going to China or anywhere else. He is an ekato tis ekato PAOKtsi, he will stay.

However, we should get rid of Tziolis, Vitor, Golasa, Olsen and Vellidis. Jairo, Sabo, Leovac and Antonis haven't impressed me either.

By the way, I hope we sell Kace and Mak for some millions.

As always, we need a whole bunch of new player. A Contreras like defender & a Garcia like midfielder would be a good start this summer. Additionally, get Vieirinha back (edw gelame), and maybe find a forward with more pace than Klaous. Vellios from the gries would be an interesting purchase for that matter.

I could get behind Vellios, but if he comes, then Klaus won't accept it.

 

I like Jairo and Golasa, but neither of them have panned out. Jairo is too injury prone, and Golasa has failed to make an impact with four consecutive managers (if you count the interim guys).

 

 

Players I'd probably keep:

 

gk Glykos, Vellidis

 

rb Kitsiou, Skondras

 

cb malezas, chatz

 

lb tzavellas

 

dm cimirot

 

cm charisis

 

acm pelkas, mistakidis

 

wingers korovesis, rodrigues

 

cf koulouris

 

 

If we can get some cash for Klaus, Kace, Leovac, and Mak, it would be great. I think Korovesis is a better winger than he is a left back, but would need to see more of him to make a decision. He's pretty cheap though, so would be good for depth. For Leovac, I also like him, but we're definitely overpaying.

[Blackhawk]

Vellios is not coming to PAOK. He said that in Greece he will play for Iraklis only. He was close to going to Olympiakos in winter, but he or the Thyra 10 organized fans prevented Papathanasakis from selling him. As a result the infusion of cash into Iraklis has suddenly stopped.

 

I don't think Klaus is going anywhere. I don't see him having any success anywhere else besides PAOK.

 

We don't need to make drastic changes to the roster. We just need to add around 5 top notch players in every line.

 

I am very sure that one of the goalies (Glykos or Vellidis) besides Olsen, Skondras, Golasa, Antonis, Berbatov and possibly Vitor, Jairo and Pereyra will bid us goodbye in the summer.

We paid 400k for him. Transfermarkt lists his current value at 700k. If they sell him back, they sure as s%$#! better make some dime on this guy.

[Dutch Eagle]

According to newspaper Goal we are very very close in signing Abdul Sissoko of Real Mallarca.

He is a 26-year old midfielder and brother of former Liverpool and Juventus player Mohamed Sissoko.

We don't need to pay a transfer fee.

[Dutch Eagle]

And Dinamo Tbilisi of Georgia is interested in Erik Sabo. Do not know if they want to buy him or just on loan-basis.

Sabo looks to be willing to move on loan-basis.

[pash]

Looks like Sissoko is a DM. Do we really need more of those? Even with (if) Kace going, we still have three.

[Klaous]

Well, besides Kace only Cimirot is really convincing. The Greeko-Australian is garbage and Tziolis is Tziolis...

However, I can't imagine that this Sissoko guy can be really better than Tziolis. Sounds like a typical PAOK transfer.

[pash]

I keep counting Charisis as a DM, but if you exclude him then you're right. I can't help but feel that we'll overpay for sissoko

[BostonThanatos]

Looks like we're unloading Olsen for 700K. To be honest, I would have much rather had him work out to be the kind of goalie we expected for us rather than sell him.

[BostonThanatos]

What's going on with Bakasetas? If you believe the Greek sports media, he's already signed with PAOK 2 months ago...then a couple weeks later he signed with OSFP and just yesterday he signed with AEK as well....Seems like too many contracts to me, lol.

We'll see about that in the next months.

Seeing how it went with Fortunis, he won't come at all. But if he does, he probably turns out to be our next Koutsianikoulis, that's for sure.
