Good news: Klaus returned to the training-grounds today!

Terry Antonis signed a three-years contract today. He will be wearing #19.

I think Salpi will stay and eventually be forced to retire. I doubt there is a team that would want him. Maduro will probably go, and Tziolis will stay as a backup. I don't see Tzavellas going anywhere either. I still think Kace will be sold, but it all depends if PAOK extends his contract right now. Kace is free to negotiate with any team in December, so we need to sign a contract extension in order to get the best price for him. As for the cup pash think it's still the stupid format from last season. Concerning Stoch. He might want to come, but he is still a property of Fenerbahce, and I don't think he will be released. More likely another loan deal, but I don't think that would be in PAOK's best interests.

Some people are going to hate this, but there's strong rumours that PAOK's Pelkas might get selected by Tsanas. Tudor and our very own Pash rate him highly. That's good enough for me.

@ Reaper, Huh? What type of signings were Berg, Steele, Essien, Gordon, Sanchez...? You make it sound like Alafouzos only signs young Greek kids..

What inclination are you referring too or infrastructure? If you mean other teams to loan out players then I agree, as Pao does not have an asteras to ship players to this time of year. Seems yianotas and kolovos are off to asteras and I am sure goutas and Bretos will be back to skonda soon.

Honestly Akri, I didn't know about Claudio the tinkerman, but since his tenure with Hellas, as head scratching as it was, looking at things now, its agreed there is an obviously glaring problem with the team still there. The problem that stands out for me, is that there was not a succession plan for when the older stars got moved on. When it gets to that stage, it can take some years. Our team can go from a probable top 10 team in the world to top 60 in a flash. If our midfield is not world class, we operate in a fine line, and fall fast. I hope Kyriakos can be his own man, and yet be the next Karagounis. If not him, then someone else with great ball distribution. Our DM MUST be authoritive and a shot-caller. Think of someone that has this aura, where you know that if he is on the field we win. This position is the gearbox to the racecar. At a glance; Who is the big match player/ Many of the boys on this forum have a vast knowledge of the superleaguers out there. I say Kyriakos. There is a general agreement that Tachtsidis is not a massive runner like Samaris or Maniatis, although his passing game is up there, so, is it him, given more of a go? I don't see Toro passing back inside to the front third with accuracy these days, and for Roma, he doesn't look fast enough. Love his passion hence should he progress there? Think of a player other teams don't like to play against, and he is our dm, unless he is our keeper or stricker.
