Charleroi is the team Nini went to after (or before?) us, I think? Such a close connection! -edit- training vid released. Soares is there around 1:47. Perhaps Augusto is the one who's sick? I wonder who the guy wearing the #24 is (he shows up a few times at the beginning). Very likely the same kid who was in preseason last year - I believe he was/is part of our youth setup but wasn't allowed to actually play because as a refugee he didn't have some sort of documentation?

Pari passu renumeration I guess. Hopefully it ends up feeling like a steal!

That's a lotta cash for Oliveira...

Looks like someone tested positive for COVID and is in quarantine. The rest of the team, minus the internationals + Ingason, have had their first session:

They're just emotionally preparing themselves for cutting off ties to him. You know, for when Lucescu cuts him

Announcement for Taylor: And a few vids posted re: El Kaddouri's renewal:

Fans are back, baby! 85% capacity with season tickets again being sold. I was thinking of going in August but I'm guessing the logistics of proving my vaccination status vis a vis those cards will be...problematic. So likely no games for this guy ?

I think 650k is a pretty fair price for him. And I think the 50% threshold is also quite reasonable (I don't think he'll reach that, personally). -edit- Also, if we manage to complete most of our signings before they abscond to the land of tulips and windmills...what does that say about the effectiveness of our past technical directors? Perhaps some jobs are better left un-filled!

Lucescu gets his man: https://www.paokfc.gr/nea/20210628-el-maestro-reloaded/ Saw in passing that Kagawa was on his way back to Thessaloniki (he's probably there by now anyway), so maybe his rumors were BS?

Lucas Taylor is in Thessaloniki and brandishing a PAOK scarf so this rumor JUST MIGHT come true

Nelson Oliveira rumored to be linked with us. Yes, the AEK striker. He'll be a free agent in four days. We could do better IMO.

Zivkovic is gonna wake up one morning and you'll be there, sitting by his bed, taking adoring fan selfies

Death count up to 4, but somehow there are STILL dozens of people missing. This seems like weirdly slow progress to me? Surely if people are alive in there, then speed is of the essence.

Looks like the third friendly has been announced - vs Feyenoord on the 25th. Nice.

I'm kind of taking what he said at face value - I am not keen on a person saying he wants to go somewhere else, ending up here. But whatever, I won't be mad if we do get him.

I'd imagine we'd sneak an extra week or so of that sweet UEFA compensation, assuming his contract explicitly states the 30th.

Wow Lewandowski with a beeeeeautiful goal. Still down 2-1. Let's see Karol score two to see them through

This game is pretty much over

Poland is trying its level best to shoot itself in the foot

It sounds like Sassuolo may be involved in a player swap to get him. Doesn't seem like much of a loss to me. Bologna may be back in the picture as far as Swiderski goes. Last I heard he was likely to start again for Poland so fingers crossed he scores a few goals and the price goes up.

Looks like he went back to Atromitos. Not surprising at all. Hopefully he does well there. I have no doubt that he would have been garbage had he come back to us.

Instagram predictably going nuts over Prijovic being in Thessaloniki but it seems he's just on vacation in Halkidiki...

It's a gateway to my OnlyFans

Jaba's first goal in, what, two years?

One of their better players. Which probably means he'll be subbed off any time now. Penalty in favor of Spain, which they missed. 1-1 still. Would like to see Poland beat them -edit- and as soon as I post that, he gets subbed off
