Blackhawk Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Rodrigues signed for 9 mil Euro, not 11. We get 1.9 mil from Galatasaray. Let's see how long before they pay us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athens4 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Some good business happening. It was a huge mistake to get rid of Arnesen. Agree with you Chris, this could be Chuba’s chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonThanatos Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 So Al Itihad signed Prijo and Rodrigues?? They're building a nice little offense over there. Athens, I agree. Arnesen's only real mistake was hiring Tudor....and Terry Antonis, lol. But overall his signings I think turned a nice profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAOK_Fan Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 No team in Greece would reject 10 mil. The key though, is to spend it wisely, like for example, Liverpool did with the Coutinho money, as opposed to Liverpool with the Suarez money.

I am not sure if it was huge mistake to get rid of Arnesen, my biggest concern is who is the guy currently in charge? He is completely unknown. Arnesen and Michel were big names with good careers behind them before coming to PAOK. Will the new guy be able to bring quality players like Prijovic, Matos, Varela, Biseswar, Cimirot, Rodrigues, Mak etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Michel's first crack at technical director was actually with us. He was chief of scouting in you-know-where before, so it's no surprise he hired players from that region. Branco actually has a bit of a resume, himself...and is arguably more qualified for the job than Michel was. Whether or not he'll do as well, remains to be seen. I believe the Estoril team he put together particularly overachieved under his tenure (4th place the season after he started, with a team that's worth 1/5 what ours is). I also believe Michel hired him specifically to take over once he stepped down. Arnesen made some good moves as far as buying players (and especially in cutting some dead wood). Keep in mind, however, that the choice of Tudor was not a mistake or random occurrence that was out of his control. He wanted a puppet, and that's what he made sure he got. One might question why? -edit- spelling Edited January 7, 2019 by pash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 New rumors in regards to Giannoulis - Dynamo Zagreb wants him as a replacement for Leovac, who is injured. Considering Zagreb couldn't really afford Leovac, I don't see how they could make an offer that would make us budge on Giannoulis. Expect to see him back with us next season.

Ο Μπράνκο έχει πέσει τώρα στα βαθιά. Αν είναι αυτός που κάνει τις μεταγραφές βέβαια. Χρειαζόμαστε ΣΗΜΕΡΑ αντικαταστάτη του Πρίγιοβιτς αλλά πολύ περισσότερο αμυντικό χαφ. Είναι ικανός ο Μπράνκο να βρει μέσα στις επόμενες μέρες λαβράκια; Αν ναι, παίρνουμε το πρωτάθλημα περίπατο. Αν όχι μπαίνουμε σε πολύ δύσκολη φάση.

pash Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 True, I agree. I don't think Meliopoulos is the solution there (obviously). I also don't think the Croatian guy is right for the position either; he plays in Shakhov/Mauricio's position after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Looks like the meeting between Savvidis and Prijovic will not take place as scheduled. This pretty much is confirmation that the only thing that remains are the official announcements about his transfer to Al Ittihad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pash Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 It's not like this is surprising. Prijovic would be a complete idiot to give up that kind of money. Good on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 True but it came at a wrong time. And it appears the team is slow to react. Not only as far as Prijo is concerned, but also as far as Wernbloom replacement is concerned. The next 5 games will decide the championship and replacements needed to be here or already on their way. And we know very well that they will nor be here until the end of the month at the earliest. Prijovic basically cashed in and effectively ended his football career at the young age of 29. Good luck and thanks for your services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiankos Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Θα ήταν εξαιρετικά ρομαντικό να πει όχι και να μείνει. Το λογικό ήταν να δεχτεί και την πρόταση και αυτό έκανε. Δεν μπορούμε να είμαστε φορτωμένοι μαζί του και όλοι το αναγνωρίζουμε αυτό. Στο καλό να πάει και τον ευχαριστούμε για όλα. Μακάρι να μπορεί ο οργανισμός ΠΑΟΚ να βρίσκει και άλλους Πρίγιοβιτς και να το κάνει πιο συχνά αυτό. Τώρα για την ετοιμότητα της ΠΑΕ τα έχουμε ξαναπεί. Είναι τρεις λαλούν και δυο χορεύουν. Ελπίζω η ήττα από την Παναχαϊκή να τους κάνει να πάρουν αποφάσεις, γιατί μπαίνει 9η Ιανουαρίου και από αυτά που καταλαβαίνουμε δεν υπάρχει ούτε προεργασία για αντικαταστάτες. Most importantly: If PAOK starts throwing out points it won't be Prijiovic fault for accepting a transfer or Pontus fault for missing out the second half of the year due to injury. It will be solely PAE's fault, for being unprepared to react fast and as needed for a team that is the best of their league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Eagle Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Koulouris scored a hattrick today for Atromitos in their cupgame against Apollon. There is no way they are not thinking of him as a replacement for Prio. If I was Branco or little/big Khalifis I would for sure. btw how did Atromitos manage to spoil two points in the League against the worst team this year?

pash Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Probably the same way we lost to garbage teams ? At this point I would support paying Atromitos (and maybe loaning a few players out to them to sweeten the deal) to get him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonThanatos Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Getting paid is not gonna be easy for Prijovic. I guarantee it. Especially if they get relegated. I know for a fact, that getting those Saudi Arabian clubs to pay up usually involves a court battle.

Blackhawk Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 That's his problem. Should have done his research. Let's just hope PAOK gets the 10 mil by the end of the season. I too believe that he will not last the full 4.5 years that he signed for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 I think the Berg solution to replace Prijovic is probably the best option at this time, as long as we won't have to spend a lot of the money we will be getting from Al Ittihad. I don't think PAOK and Lucescu are willing to experiment right now with Akpom/Koulouris or players that will need a lot of time to get used to the Greek bourdello called Superleague.

Yeah as opposed to our own clubs that have a reputation of prompt payment 5 minutes ago, pash said: They might try to get around the 5mm clause for Berg by just taking him on loan. Or negotiating a release from his contract also...and then Berg signing on a free. The timing of this offer obviously is horrible, but the money is too good for both player and club to refuse, kinda similar situation with us and Mitroglou a few years back. This is what stinks about the winter window its always hard to make a good signing. Unless you have it lined up way in advance, you often need to overspend and if you are in a position where you suddenly need to replace your top forward lets say, with only a few weeks notice..."χέστα και κατούρα τα".

Blackhawk Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 I doubt there is a 5 mil release clause for Berg. I think that's just wishful thinking by Panathinaikos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzatziki Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Its a clause that says that should he go to any Greek club PAO would need to get paid 5 million, it has been done in the past with other players...I would not be surprised if the clause is real.
