Happy holidays to all of you and your families!

Return in Toumba on Wednesday January 15th, 2020 at 15:00 EET.

I would still say our actual central midfield is weak, look at how paok midfield is chocked against Europeans teams, or stronger greek teams. Our central midfield cant really keep the ball.

What makes you think Lamprou is not disciplined enough mate? His stints at Iraklis and Panionios showed that he is far more than capable of handling this league. His stint at Fortuna Sittard proved he can be better than this villager's league. I will agree with Fereira. You have way too many attacking orientated midfielders/wingers right now, especially with vierinha returning to these positions. Limnios, Vierinha, Biseswar, Pelkas, Jaba, Lamprou, Stoch, El Kaddouri You can't really rotate these 8 players properly, especially in only 2 competitions. Also I really don't understand why on earth did Ergys Kace get loaned out for Esiti to stay in the roster. Very heavy body for a team that wants to play such fast football. Clearly managerial tranasfer.

I get what you’re saying @paokarag4 about El Khaddouri. He has great technique and balance as well as decision making. He doesn’t sell the ball cheaply. All signs of a quality player. Still I wouldn’t be fussed if he left even if I prefer he stays. I think what kills him (and I see this with lots of players) is he can’t lock a position down. He doesn’t have the run to be a 6 or an 8 and he doesn’t quite have the dribble and cross to be a winger. He doesn’t score enough to play up front consistently. Regardless, I still think he’s a great option to have and can turn a game, I just don’t think he’s a lock for a starting position every game. I don’t think he really wants to in Greece and he seems to lose interest in playing week in week out. It’s like he’s bored with most games ... which I can understand ... and really only switches on for the bigger contests. Ideally, we find a similar quality player that is more motivated and is a bit more hungry but that’s easier said than done.

Tipped off by my twitter family:

OK, it's about to be Christmas here in the future. Wanted to wish all my fellow PAOKtzides a safe holidays full of food and fun. See you all on the flipside.

First game will be played at “Jedi Koule” on January 7th, 2020 at 21:30 EET.
