I would bet you that other teams don't want to pony up what we're asking for. Chances are he'll regain his mojo with Atromitos and we'll make some more cash off him as well - it's a chance worth taking IMO.
Just left it without comment my sweet Dutch chocolate
Oh and I saw this earlier; take it with many grains of salt:
-edit- I didn't catch this earlier but it seem Giannoulis also re-signed through 2022
Some more rumors:
Galatasaray also interested in Koulouris, though I doubt they can afford his 8mm clause
Still waiting on the return of Henrique, not sure what's taking so long
Markovski's loan with Aiginiakos is being terminated, expect him to be loaned out again
Parma is concerned their interest in El Kaddouri will come to naught as he played 90 minutes in our last game (a few days ago their coach was quoted as saying he clearly is in our plans if our coach is playing him) - to this I say, show me the money
Warda has said his goodbyes to us on Instagram
Kacheridi rejected an offer from a Kazakh side, seems to want Bundesliga
And:
His value has risen hugely in the past 1.5 seasons, so hopefully your first impression is the right one (that he is very solid). Is he actually active for the Iceland NT? It looks like his last call up was in November for a friendly vs Qatar, which doesn't necessarily imply they think much of him.
I agree that this takes Varela's knees out from under him (and honestly - he should have known that Kacheridi would either usurp his place or be kicked out and replaced). The question is, are the bonus he'll get for winning the league + his appreciation of his coworkers going to outweigh any bad feelings about him not getting the money he wants? Personally, 1mm post-tax sounds like ridiculously good money, but he needs to determine what is best for himself, long-term. Before, he smelled blood in the water. Now, Branco probably does.
Akpom looked just like he did in the last game. Lots of movement, too many near misses. As he gets more time, I think he'll look more and more dangerous
Lyratzis didn't have much to do but he had an excellent back heel deflection to break down the opponent's attack. A good start for him in his second match (first league)
