One year, they pay full salary, 5mm buy out (unless it changed)

Looks like Lamprou scored the 1-1 -edit- getting creamed now, 3-1 down so far

I can't understand how, as we are already up against the foreigner cap. Unless we drop shakhov?

Charisis has taken the #6 out of Leveque's cold dead hands. Pretty ballsy move for someone who might be loaned out again in a few weeks. Though I do think he's a solid player who I'd rather have than some random Viking mercenary.

Haha whoops. Was looking at them on transfermarkt. Still, they should be ashamed! Ντροπή!

Lyratzis, our U20 RB (18 years old) is heading up to the Netherlands to join the team. He was playing with Greece's U18 squad until now, and started in their 6-7 defeat to Morocco (woof) back in June. I wonder if he'll be put in as a left back?

Yeah but Mithridates kept losing those wars. Will Savvidis accept a loser???

I do agree that Khacheridi wasn't Lucescu's choice (same with Jaba). I don't think that guy will be with us for long. The Savvidis family has some strange obsessions.

Also possible. Of the three #10s, Pelkas is probably the best on the right (though all three more typically play on the left)...it would certainly be one solution if El Kaddouri joined and the three formed a line. I'm still half convinced that he's going back to Italy though.

I don't think Khacheridi was ever going to start in this game. Lucescu takes his time in getting people in, and Crespo and Varela know very well how to play with each other. I'd think if Crespo gets hurt, he'd play Malezas over the new guy too. Limnios is very raw, but Jaba has the same newness problem as Khacheridi. I wouldn't be all that surprised to see him start. Lamprou has looked better than him this preseason, but has a minor injury right now. Mistakidis for me is the best (I know you're shocked to read me saying this), but he hasn't played in his preferred position much this preseason, so I can't see him getting a start.

InPAOK is saying Lucescu used the below lineup today, which is what we'll see in that next friendly (which is now our second-to-last). Even if Warda isn't sold I can't see him starting that first game, hopefully Limnios does get a start. --Paschalakis-- --Matos--Varela--Crespo--Vieirinha-- --Canas--Mauricio-- --Limnios--Pelkas--Biseswar-- --Prijovic-- It's a very good lineup, and almost certainly what we'll see vs Basel. Only question mark is the right wing position.

A shame. At least Rey didn't give up a PK this time.

Double save by Rey, Prijovic bodyslammed someone who was stupid enough to get in his way. Good times.

Commentator is doing a very good job illustrating the value of a player like Canas to the team. If only the actual pro-PAOK sites would make such constructive comments. I guess when you're looking for a BAM, then you don't have time to talk about actual tactics/strategy.

Goal Jaba!

Hahaha Lucescu dropping F bombs like it's his job. Very angry at the strength of their tackles.

Nice dribbling by Jaba. Also working well with Kitsiou IMO. Very nearly a goal just now, if only Warda was half a second faster to the goal

Well that explains that. Was he injured in the last friendly or something?

Nasty boy!

I doubt the Keseru one personally, he seems too old and signed an extension only six months ago. Lineup for the friendly that starts in a half hour:

Sport FM posted the first few last night, then inPAOK posted contradictory articles earlier today, 63 minutes apart. Unless you're looking for pictures of my tzatziki, in which case GROW UP, YOU AUSTRIAN FREAK!

I'm not sure if this is news or not, but Garcia signed on for two more years as youth coach. His assistant will be Schnauzer (who I thought was heading up the U17s on his own before?). Below make up the roster. Balogiannis is with the first team for now but should be returning once we sort out the transcriptions. Don't recognize any other names below beyond Giaksis (the Panserraikos player we just got). Ευάγγελος Συλλέκτης, Συμεών Παπαδόπουλος, Χρήστος Ταλιχμανίδης, Κωνσταντίνος Μπαλωμένος, Απόστολος Διαμαντής, Ιωάννης Μιχαηλίδης, Μάριος Τσαούσης, Ελευθέριος Λύρατζης, Άγγελος Μουτζούρης, Ευστάθιος Τάχατος, Σπυρίδων Ατματζίδης, Χρήστος Βουτσάς, Θεοχάρης Τσιγγάρας, Αναστάσιος Μελετίδης, Κωνσταντίνος Μπαλογιάννης, Ζήσης Χατζηστραβός, Θεόδωρος Πουρναράς, Δημήτρης Θεοδωρίδης, Σεραφείμ Μανιώτης, Κυριάκος Γιαξής, Γεώργιος Νουκάρης, Αλέξανδρος Γκαργκαλατζίδης, Γεώργιος Δούμτσης, Χρήστος Παπαδόπουλος, Αντώνιος Γαϊτανίδης, Γεώργιος Τζοβάρας, Γεώργιος Βρακάς, Δημήτριος Ξιφιλίνος, Πέτρος Καλουτσικίδης, Κίμων Κορέας

It looks like the Henrique situation has moved pretty quickly. Went from a few sites saying that Lucescu seems to prefer Warda, to Astana (Kazakhstan) thinking about offering to take him on loan (with us not being interested) to a complete agreement between them, us, and Henrique to send him out for another year. All in the course of a few hours. Reportedly the terms are the same as last season's loan - they will pay his full wages + are agreeing to a 5mm buyout option.

Now if only all of these season ticket holders would show up for each game!

Pereyra is heading to Apollon Limassol. Man, I miss this guy. Was never given the chances he deserved (and still outscored the other chumps who got in ahead of him).
