Can we start taking bets as to what team Gianniotas will be loaned out to yet? Or is it too early?

greece is host in the ec u19 next month , they drew ukraine , austria and france in poule a , the first match is on the 6th of july. http://www.uefa.com/under19/news/newsid=2255519.html

thx for the update nick , he had many proposals including the one you posted but karnezis staying is not that bad since im almost certain he will be a starter next season with udinese and lets see if he can have another great season. then after that go to a better club who plays european soccer. he renewed his contract till 2020 with better fees and udinese will catch more money for him also if they sell him. i hope udinese with a new coach will perform better then this season wich was bad. https://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=it&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tuttomercatoweb.com%2Fserie-a%2Fudinese-blindato-karnezis-no-alle-richieste-rinnova-fino-al-2020-689880&edit-text=&act=url https://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=it&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tuttomercatoweb.com%2Fserie-a%2Fesclusiva-tmw-ds-udinese-ripartiamo-da-karnezis-al-lavoro-per-samir-689912&edit-text=&act=url

Not sure what "epos tou 40" is. I don't think it's as simple as what you're saying. If the EU just wanted it's money back it would have never lent the money in the first place with the terms as agreed. They would have either lent the money on a short term basis, maybe 10 years or so with some sort of collateral. I know, the idea sounds farcical since the amount almost exceeds the nations GDP. What do you provide as collateral ? Even if Greece did everything that is asked of them, the final payments aren't due to 2054. 2054, that's a long way away and it tells me that EU may want it's money back, but they sure are patient and are prepared to wait a long time to get it all back. The EU is this romantic idea that's kind of evolved where the end goal was always to have a kind of United States but a European version. That is the idea anyway. And in this model of course the EU dictate how things are run. How could it be otherwise ? If it can't dictate how Europe is run, what is it's purpose ? Do you really think the people voted out ND because of computer chips? Surely there is more to it. The main platform or promise of Syriza was to (however unrealistic) end the austerity. The austerity is real and it's not an acceptable trade-off to the man in the street. There is real suffering and despair, and worst of all, a general lack of hope for the future. The people merely voted in the party that gave them the most hope. I'm sure the average Greek citizen would happily pay taxes if they genuinely knew most of it would be used properly. But it's hard to erase 50+ years of thinking. Hence, the intransigence.

I doubt it. The PR machine is running full throttle over in Pireaus right now. Robinho, Berbatov, Pato, etc etc. They will go out and sign some washed up big name players to make a "Bam" signing. They don't even have a coach right now.

at least ill get to watch a few extra PAOK games whilst in greece!

The only positive thing is that I will be in Greece then and can watch the games in a kafenio with a cold frappe.
