Can I just say that after a pair of pretty bad intro videos this preseason, this one is kind of a banger?

Matches will be broadcasted by OPEN. Don't know if it is available outside Greece.

Chatzodiakos signed for us. He will wear jersey #4. He is the third player to play for my two favorite clubs (PAOK and AZ). Maurice van Ham and the great Maarten Martens being the other two.

Fixtures: Thursday July 23rd: Dynamo Kyiv - PAOK 20:00 EEST (in Lublin) Thursday July 30th: PAOK - Dynamo Kyiv 20:45 EEST

Probably a good sign for us that they couldn't actually beat a team like Cluj.

We start and finish the regular season against Levadiakos. First MD in the weekend of August 22/23. We probably will start on Sunday August 23rd unless we get double eliminated in Europe. Full schedule: Αναλυτικά το πρόγραμμα του ΠΑΟΚ στο φετινό πρωτάθλημα: 1η αγωνιστική ΠΑΟΚ-Λεβαδειακός 2η αγωνιστική Ατρόμητος-ΠΑΟΚ 3η αγωνιστική Παναθηναϊκός-ΠΑΟΚ 4η αγωνιστική ΠΑΟΚ-Άρης 5η αγωνιστική Παναιτωλικός-ΠΑΟΚ 6η αγωνιστική ΠΑΟΚ-Καλαμάτα 7η αγωνιστική ΠΑΟΚ-Ηρακλής 8η αγωνιστική ΟΦΗ-ΠΑΟΚ 9η αγωνιστική ΠΑΟΚ-Αστέρας 10η αγωνιστικήΟΣΦΠ-ΠΑΟΚ 11η αγωνιστική ΠΑΟΚ-Κηφισιά 12η αγωνιστική ΑΕΚ-ΠΑΟΚ 13η αγωνιστική ΠΑΟΚ-Βόλος 14η αγωνιστική ΠΑΟΚ-Παναθηναϊκός 15η αγωνιστική Αστέρας-ΠΑΟΚ 16η αγωνιστική Άρης-ΠΑΟΚ 17η αγωνιστική ΠΑΟΚ-ΟΣΦΠ 18η αγωνιστική Ηρακλής-ΠΑΟΚ 19η αγωνιστική ΠΑΟΚ-Παναιτωλικός 20η αγωνιστική Καλαμάτα-ΠΑΟΚ 21η αγωνιστική ΠΑΟΚ-ΑΕΚ 22η αγωνιστική Κηφισιά-ΠΑΟΚ 23η αγωνιστική ΠΑΟΚ-Ατρόμητος 24η αγωνιστική ΠΑΟΚ-Βόλος 25η αγωνιστική ΠΑΟΚ-ΟΦΗ 26η αγωνιστική Λεβαδειακός-ΠΑΟΚ I see 14 home matches. Probably MD 24 is in Volos as three homegames is not right.

Penalties will decide the winner of Cluj and Kyiv. Edit 1. Cluj already missed two penalties. Edit 2. Dynamo Kyiv advanced. 2-4 on penalties after the second leg ended also in a 0-0 draw. Kedziora did play 77 minutes.

Another rumor, this time for a DM: https://www.transfermarkt.us/nicolas-fonseca/profil/spieler/462070 Like with all of the rumors, he played in La Liga last season (and got relegated) but actually belongs to a Mexican club, Leon. I don't know anything about the player but I'd imagine much depends on how badly he wants to be in Europe vs returning to Uruguay.

I doubt at this point we'd get yet another guy for the back line so we just have to hope one of these dudes rises to the occasion... Still, good that we addressed the gaps there. I think this might be a mild upgrade over last season.

Chatzidiakos coming to Thessaloniki on Thursday, he will sign a 3 year deal. He is a solid player, but I still think we lack a leader in our back 4. I don't think Chatzidiakos is that kind of player, but he is a nice piece of the puzzle. Remains to be seen if Elustondo could be that guy. O Παντελής Χατζηδιάκος αναμένεται στη Θεσσαλονίκη την Πέμπτη (16/7) στις 19:00 για την ολοκλήρωση της μεταγραφής του στον ΠΑΟΚ. https://www.sport24.gr/football/paok-metagrafes-o-xatzidiakos-tin-pempti-sti-thessaloniki-gia-ton-dikefalo/

Chalov will be out for 6 months. What to do now? Who will score now? The man is irreplaceble.......

NAME: Taha Abdi ALI POSITION: Left Winger JERSEY NUMBER: 22 BIRTHDAY: 01-July-1998 BIRTH PLACE: Stockholm, Sweden HEIGHT 1.74 m PAOK DEBUT: NT DEBUT: 12.01.2024 (Estonia – Sweden 1:2) PREVIOUS TEAMS: Malmo FF, Helsinborgs IF, Vasteras SK, Orebro FK, Sollentuna FK, IFK Stocksund, Sundbybergs IK CONTRACT ENDS: 30-June-2029 SALARY: € per season

I hear 3 mil on radio this morning. As long as we break even we should be ok. Hate to see him go though.

Atlas needs to offer more. We bought him for that amount of money.

Sanchez to Atlas, saw 2.5mm as the price but that was just on a fan page so it's anyone's guess what the actual money is.

Poor transfer season so far, yet again

Praying there isn't some extra wording in his contract that actually makes this a 1+1 if he plays enough matches. I am not too pumped about this signing, but perhaps (hopefully) he will be steady enough that Lisci gets some breathing room. Crazy that we're giving him the #7 as well.

NAME: Baptiste SANTAMARIA POSITION: Midfielder JERSEY NUMBER: 7 BIRTHDAY: 09-March-1995 BIRTH PLACE: Saint-Doulchard, France HEIGHT 1.83 m PAOK DEBUT: NT DEBUT: PREVIOUS TEAMS: Valencia CF, OGC Nice, Stde ennais, SC Freiburg, Angers, Tours CONTRACT ENDS: 30-June-2027 SALARY: € 1,000,000 per season

Santamarias is here:

Pretty decent interview with Pelkinho recorded before they returned: https://youtu.be/rnzCjmmiwww?is=jH6NozOSWRd42f5q

The team just released an interview with Lisci, where he gives some of his thoughts for the season. Speaks a bit about his formation and tactics as well.

Taha Ali is expected in SKG tomorrow. Santamaria arrived about a half hour ago. Let's see if we get our CB this week as well...

Agree man, it sucks not watching them in tournaments. This team went from having so much optimism to now asking questions again. Not sure how I feel about Ivan, it would be nice to be able to bring a big name coach but that wont happen. Regardless this is a golden opportunity to finish in pot 1 and make the Euros but the way they've been playing does not give me optimism in this group of finishing anything but last. Hope I'm wrong.

Desperate to see them back in, it's killing me watching the WC and how irrelevant we have been for a long time. Absolutely have to get into Euro to build that into potential next WC. I hope Ivan is up to the task real question marks over him and the team still.
