I heard we will get €2.5m but I guess we will see.

Looks like Narey is off to Saudi Arabia after tomorrow's game. Going by his start this season he won't be missed.

With all these issues in the midfield I bet Lucescu is just itching to get Biseswar back in, even it's on a pay-as-you-play basis.

The Missus booked us a surprise anniversary trip to Spain so I am unable to make the trip to Scotland and link up with Scotsman. In fact our flight is at the same time so I will miss the game entirely. I just hope we can carry on our good form and get a result.

I really hope this falls through. Maksimovic is the one we should be getting.

Missed the game. 3-0 with Murg scoring, would have never predicted that. Is Samatta's injury bad?

Did you explain that Tzatziki is no longer here? I like Yiankos but he can be real stubborn sometimes.

People are calling him Dantas' clone. Not a good sign.

Can somebody tell @Yiankosto come back?

Good result but we rode our luck in the first half. Our defence is shocking. We are going to struggle against the Scots with Kedziora at right back.

I think we will see some sales if we do not beat Hajduk tomorrow.

Guys, while he has indeed taken PAOK to another level, I personally think it is clear that there is no longer any motivation to transform the team into a powerhouse. He is using Russian tactics in a Greek game. He is either at his ranch in Rostov or at his resort in Halkidiki. For me, the plan was to use him to gain Russian access to the port. That has now been accomplished. Sure, he spent a lot of money to take the team out of debt and build it up but the money he has made from owning PAOK and investing in Greece is a tremendous amount. I don't usually agree with PAOKSYD but I think he is on the right track about Savvidis.

Neither of them ever got chances to prove themselves.

What happened to Malezas?

Logical.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing.

He isn't playing the first game against Hajduk so I expect him to be sold.

My eyesight isn't great but I didn't see Augusto in the latest training video.

Just noticed that Odjija-Ofoe plays for them. He can't seem to get far enough from us. First he played against us for OSFP, then he left and he played against us for Gent. Now this. I hope we keep to traditions and win.

Lucas Taylor coming out today saying that Shakhtar bought him. Just checked Transfermarkt and they confirm. When did that happen?

This was a classic PAOK away performance. Start off average, step it up a bit then just as things are looking good we go and make a tragic error which puts all of us fans on the verge of a heart attack for 60 minutes. Then out of nowhere comes a bit of magic and we are home and dry. Our defence is shocking (except for Baba). I have no idea how Kedziora is a national team player. One foul throw is bad enough, two in a row is just embarrassing. Ekong is slower than a sloth in treacle. Michailidis cannot mark to save his life. Unfortunately I think that injury may have ruined him (I hope I am wrong). Against a proper team, we would have been slaughtered today. Where do I start with the midfield? Schwab will unfortunately be the new Biseswar this season. He is a huge liability out there and I have no idea what he was thinking with the pass backward. I sincerely hope that was Augusto's last game in a PAOK jersey. I am so bored of watching him commit unnecessary fouls and picking up cards all the time. Hopefully the French are still interested in picking him up. Tsingaras was average (by all means better than Schwab and Augusto) and should have scored that chance. I would say our wingers are the only saving grace. Zivkovic was decent and Narey was alright. Konstantelias is like an oasis in the desert. Up top, although Brandon scored, we need to be honest with ourselves - he isn't good enough. Apart from the goal he did nothing. Samatta looks sharp but we still don't really have a clear picture of him. It will be a crime if Tzimas gets no playing time because of these two though. Beitar reminded me of the old PAOK. A stupid own goal. Throwing things at the opposition players. Missing a penalty. The sprinklers coming on during the game. Missed chances. Another own goal. For some reason when the camera showed the owners face at the end, I knew exactly how he was feeling.

Unfortunately I may miss this one as I will be in Marseille. ΠΑΙΞΤΕ ΜΠΑΛΑ ΡΕ ΚΟΠΡΟΣΚΥΛΑ, ΕΠΑΝΑΛΑΜΒΑΝΩ - ΘΕΛΟΥΜΕ ΝΑ ΠΑΜΕ ΕΚΔΡΟΜΕΣ!

He was shocking! What game were you watching dude?
