Also new reports that Dynamo is going to offer him a better contract this summer, as they don't want him to go. Expect this to go on for a while.

He's amazingly obnoxious. I'm proud to say that I loathed him from the first time I heard his voice

Premium, grade-a, pontic ball hair

Leovac's old team is still trying to get him back. As a reminder, they previously offered to take him on loan and let us pay his wages...

^ bingo

Aww poor Olympiakos! When they lose their complete control over the league, it instantly means AEK and PAOK are fixing matches and being bad little boys.

Little Savvidis continues to entertain. I wonder which journalist is not allowed to travel with the team anymore?

Well no worries then, because he seems fine!

Hand shake!

Moulen looks like he just realized he made a mistake:

Haha whoops, I guess I had oly on the mind

Campos hurt his knee during training, going to undergo an MRI. Hopefully it's not bad.

No deal found, Leovac will join Brkic as a vacationer on our payroll. InPAOK says his old team in Croatia offered to take him on loan for six months while we paid his wages. Nice of them. Our trio that were linked with Olympiakos are still heading that way. Mistakidis (the most important of them <3) is still just for a loan, while the others essentially a loan with an option to buy for free.

It's essentially what Tzavellas did. Had just signed a new contract and was owed a bunch of cash. Now I could be wrong about Leovac and he is willing to mutually terminate the deal, but if he hasn't gotten any interest so far then he has no reason to sit on his ass for six months without getting paid.

Leovac's game plan was always to get released from his contract (and presumably paid off for the rest of the salary that's owed him). Would make chasing that higher salary easier, after all. Kourbelis is the second PAO player who punked us. After seeing that the French guy was in Athens (and apparently going to sign right at the airport), I started hoping that Kourbelis would fall through. After all, we simply don't have room in the squad for that many midfielders.

Kourbelis is still on his way to Italy as far as I can see...good, considering we're closing the deal with Legia now.

Also reading that Kourbelis might end up with us if Sampdoria doesn't offer enough cash. Wouldn't be surprised if the Legia deal is our backup for this one. Mihojevic is considered one of their young potential-talents, right? Wouldn't expect to see much of him this season, especially if we get Khacheridi (who I wouldn't be surprised to see sold to us at the last minute, seeing as how Zambrano is signing for four years with Dynamo). Interesting that we've had no rumors on a link to any center-forwards.

Haha I completely forgot about him...wouldn't be surprised if Lucescu gets rid of the guy. He seemed extremely frustrated when Leveque left for France. By this point, the guy must be at the end of his "rehab"...

Pelkas will return before El Kaddouri does. I think it was 4 days before he could train, then two weeks before he could play? Expect him to wear this for a while. Thank goodness his number is on it, else he wouldn't know it was his.

Lucescu doesn't roll the dice from what I've seen...this is what I expect: --Pashalakis-- --Matos--Varela--Crespo--Vieirinha-- --Mauricio--Canas-- --Campos--Biseswar--Mak-- --Prijovic-- We have more than enough firepower to do the job. Of note is that El Kaddouri is out for 2-3 weeks, so if something happens to Biseswar, expect to see us play with a second striker for a while.

El Kaddouri is confirmed out for 2-3 weeks

Kace officially not going to APOEL. Might end up at Giannina or maybe more likely at PAO.

Sounds like there might be some changes for this next year - there was a proposal no home/away matches for the rounds of 16 and quarter finals (with the big clubs being the away team). The point being, to reduce the number of matches the teams play in a season.

Looks like at this point, Khacheridi has orally agreed to join us when he becomes a free agent; the club is also attempting to get him for a fair price now. I'd be more than fine with waiting until summer for him.

This is a big game, followed by two weeks of easier matches (before we meet Olympiakos at home). I'm sure we'll see a few purposeful yellows so suspensions can be served (and players rested) against Lamia. As noted in other threads, Oly/AEK play each other later the same day. Should be an eventful five or six hours.
