Because Lucescu has issues with rotations. It's the same issue for many of these positions.

I agree. It's also been heavily rumored that Lucescu wants the Xanthi goalkeeper, Zivkovic. Perhaps he'll finally get his chance. Also, we still have Melissas. Might work as a third choice.

PAO may be trying to poach a few of our youngsters with expiring contracts - most importantly, Siampanis and Lyratzis. Wouldn't be much of a concern in most cases, except that there's word out that we are refusing to entertain any offers from our youth players that include guaranteed playing time. PAO, in the meanwhile, is in dire straits and will likely be able to offer those guarantees (even if they can't match our salaries).

It's easier to pretend that things are great when you're not actually living in a third world country

In my mother's village, it's actually βουβάλια! Mmmmmm delicious

Yeah I love the smell of cow sh1t in the morning

Varela/Crespo seem a lock to renew their contracts. Varela at 2+1, Crespo at 2. Biseswar wants 3 years, while the team offered 1+1 (two years is about the most I'd go for with him, personally). Shakhov + Canas are unlikely to both be extended, so the question is who will stay out of the two of them. Not related to our team, but weren't we in a "race" to get Bakasetas a few seasons ago? Well it seems now he's linked with Panathinaikos. Good, he can continue to fail down in that filthy city. Also, it seems Rodrigues is agitating to leave. Happy this is causing issues for the Turks. I guess that's just the kinda guy he is. Recent estimates for selling price have floated around 10 to 15mm (we have 20%)

As an aside, about five years ago I visited a cousin who was living in Larissa (he was attending university), and he insisted I stay at his apartment. It was roughly the size of an office cubical, but only cost 200 euros a month. I told him that is what I was paying for a parking space at the time. Different worlds, man.

I do see that. InPAOK described it as just interest (and in fact just posted a new "article" about it saying this was a scam by the player/agent to pretend there's interest overseas). Either way, I'm glad it isn't the case.

The Turks think Prijo is interested in joining Besiktas. Very unlikely, to say the least. But if they (somehow) have the money, then more power to them. InPAOK also thinks we're linked with this guy. I can't see how that's the case; we are already bursting at the seams with non-EU players. https://www.transfermarkt.com/mahmoud-marie/profil/spieler/476625

As you said, it's very subjective. Some criteria: Am I making less than the industry average for my position or experience? How much less? What are my friends making? More importantly, what are people who I consider part of my same social class making? What are the limitations to my spending power? Can I barely afford rent, or am I only holding off on big luxury items (or somewhere in between)? This was an excellent philosophical exercise!

Okay that was actually a lot better than I thought it would be

Probably a murder-suicide, so please don't hurt me

My heart is with you and I refuse to change ❤️

His heart remains, my friend

Good draw for us. Katsouranis will be so conflicted.

Welcome to the forum! And yeah I'm pretty pleased with Pablo. I wonder if he'll turn into our next Ivic (but perhaps one that actually stays).

Krima ? ? ? ? ? ?

Prijovic scores again, 0-6 -edit- game ended 0-6, solid easy win. Wonder how much in bonus cash Prijovic earned this game.

Goal Prijovic, 0-5

Goal Karelis, he's looking real good today

Looks like Lyratzis is about to come on. Looking forward to see him play

Balogiannis coming on for Biseswar (MotM)

That's a good point Yianni...certainly possible. Another possibility for why he went out and Karelis didn't - Karelis hasn't been getting a lot of game time, and perhaps he wants to use this as a training opportunity for Prijo to have a strike partner? I guess we'll find out soon enough.
