Crazy that we don't know what to do with our GKs. Sell Pashalakis, release Rey, have Melissas and Zivkovic compete for the starting spot. Call up a child once in a while when needed. Come on, people!

Really didn't expect that, congrats to the kid

Do you know if it was for a sale, or a loan? I saw a (very) unreliable thing about a loan earlier which seems silly to me. Plus, isn't he not making a particularly large amount of money? Not sure why such a desire to get rid of him, though if we got a good offer then it should obviously be considered.

Yes you're right...alas, it seems it's a done deal:

Besiktas is desperate for money so guaranteed it'll be somewhere. I just hope it's not in some weird-ass channel that you need a specific cable subscription for. Because THIS GUY's sure as hell gonna pirate that

I'm seeing stuff on social media about how the rights are reserved domestically but the away team has the rights to broadcast internationally. I have no idea if that's correct or even how it would work, but it would be a hell of a wrinkle if true. -edit- They probably got it from here: https://inpaok.com/653535/sto-paok-tv-to-mats-me-ti-besiktas-alla/

Deligiannidis is off to Romania. Expect this to be the exact career path for Balogiannis as well. Canas looks like he's linked with a second-division side in Spain, after his contract with Red Star was terminated. Guess the new adventure wasn't all it was cracked out to be. -edit- Oh and Shakhov wants out of Lecce. See above for my hot take.

Half would still be around this range, which I would gladly take at this point. I agree that Tsimikas is not better, however

Unrelated, perhaps the Italians are more trustworthy! https://www.areanapoli.it/calciomercato/napoli-si-tratta-giannoulis-puo-arrivare-in-saldo-piace-mykolenko-ma-c-e-l-everton-tsimikas-modesto-spara-alto_382545.html My google translate may be off here but it seems they're saying 6-7mm would make him theirs (which I'd agree with - we are NOT getting the buy-out clause triggered). It implies that Fiorentina is also still interested (who knows if that's the case). If Napoli comes knocking, it's a no-brainer on both sides IMO.

It's amazing how official something sounds when it's stated so matter-of-factly haha

How is this the case if we allegedly bought him like four weeks ago?!

Hmmm... https://inpaok.com/653380/erchetai-to-volos-tv/ Can't imagine they're gonna have many fans here but I'd pay to see our away games (if this were to exist this season). Would be fun if Savvidis just spun off PAOKTV as an online-only player, snapping up rights here and there. I'd say it would never fly (I mean, it shouldn't as it's a real conflict of interest) but it's not as if terrestrial television isn't already a cesspool of exactly those kinds of conflicts.

Is there an actual worry about the turf not being ready? It feels like three or four weeks should be more than adequate (they started like the day after the team left for training right?)

He also had been very vocal about never playing for another Greek team...

Ninua has deleted all of his tweets since July 1st, probably because his agent slapped him. Here's another tweet to replace that:

They all do, I believe all the big Turkish teams are under third party administration of their finances. The Turkish league is about to implode (which will make them extra desperate for this CL money, as it could make or break their season).

Saw a few retweets of Turkish sports sites saying there's a good chance that the game will be played on neutral ground, though a recent post by inPAOK seems to say otherwise. I guess we'll see.

I guarantee you it'll be Veria next

Doesn't UEFA's own TV deal preempt PAOKTV's ability to show this?

For sure, and against better competition. Sadly I can't see us finding someone from out of the country to play against. And you're right about Giannoulis - I bet they're safeguarding him in case of injury. Hope we make some good money off the kid

Plays with confidence, I like what I see. The build up to the cross was pretty good, you must admit!

Koutsias with a SOLID goal

Goal "Akpom," off a deflected shot by Esiti Pelkas finally coming on

As good as done IMO His previous tweets also imply he was in Turkey, speaking with Besiktas (eagle emoji, black and white, etc etc). Maybe he just got confused and accidentally signed with us? haha

Thank you! I was sitting on paoktv's main site wondering why nothing was loading
