Impossible, Yiankos LOVES Crespo!

But but but then we aren't working together in the spirit of a more competitive league! Did Olympiakos pay loanees' salaries?

See how much better it is when you write full thoughts down?

Nope. But it doesn't explain why you think this made sense to write?

And they don't matter anyway

Another good question. Probably a loan, I'd think. Kace again linked with PAO. They want him on loan since they can't afford him. And also want us to pay 150k of his salary.

An absolutely MASSIVE one. I'd s%$#! a brick if Lucescu ships him off.

Beggars can't be choosers.

PAO reportedly wants Deligiannidis. Since he's contracted through 2020, I'm hoping that means we'd only consider a loan. Ideally, he'd get loaned there, find his way to playing his real position, and come back a replacement for Pelkas when we sell him for 10 million. A guy can dream, right? They're also interested in Hatzidimbas, who I believe is a free agent now that he's out of the U20s. I'll go out on a limb and guess that he didn't sign a new contract because he knew of their interest. Erik Sabo was intended to be sold to Beitar Trump Jerusalem, contingent on them paying a small fee. Oddly, he has told teammates in recent days that he won't be there next season. No idea what's going on there. Leovac's new (old) club still wants to buy him, but they don't want to pay him the 500k/year that he's making now. Seems they'll try to offer less than his purchase clause to make up the difference. I hope if they try that, that we don't play along. Wouldn't be the first player we've sat on.

I read that the coach wanted to make it clear that Matos was the #1, and Srna wasn't as enthused about joining us after he learned that. If nobody picks him up for a better deal, he'll come back. Pashalakis now linked with Sporting Lisbon. It's their sale to Napoli that reportedly knocked Pashalakis out of contention for that position.

No one is telling you to have a freak out every time you come to post, dude

Stafylidis and Hatziisaias training at Toumba too. Will be interesting to see if either are destined to rejoin our team.

Hatziisaias reportedly on the radar of Fulham and Hull. I like this guy and would prefer him to us getting yet another foreign player, but if the English want him, he'd surely jump at the chance. If he doesn't play for us next year, that's where I'd like him to go.

Ouzounidis isn't a bad coach IMO. But I doubt he'll be able to pull off what they did last year.

Hatseridis says he'll make his decision "in ten days." Fingers crossed, I guess.

From what I understand, Koulouris is likely to be loaned (as he was supposed to last year, before we gave Klaus away). If they still want to do that, we'll need two strikers.

Moving on to other stories - we're also apparently linked with Karelis. I don't see the point in this. if we need someone to play as second striker, we have Pelkas and Mistakidis already. And if we want a backup, Conde will likely be cheaper anyway.

Our fine for this game was 88k, while AEK was fined 37k. Were our fans ~237% worse than theirs?

Saw another few articles (copied-and-pasted from each other) that Galatasaray wants to buy out the remaining 20% of Rodrigues' contract that we own, as they believe next year they'll be able to sell him for upwards of 35mm. I believe we are asking for 4mm, which would imply a current valuation of 20 (similar to what I wrote about a few pages back). It sounds like his current club isn't too keen on that amount, but I'd definitely be happy if we do stick to that number.

Nothing says raised profile like being a retirement home! Who says that only MSL, China, and the Arab leagues can give one last payday??

For sure, forgot to mention that - Kpaps ain't comin' here. All the better, as that would certainly break the bank.

Hope he makes the move, I can't see him getting any time here if he stays. Srna would not come here cheap. If we need a person to play 5-10 games (all competitions), then we should just stick with Kitsiou. I know we need to be wary of overusing Matos, but this just doesn't seem like a logical solution to me.

Muslimovic would be more happy to play for us, too

I think he only played Biseswar when it was obvious all of his other choices flamed out. Think about it - El Kaddouri isn't much of a playmaker, but got constant game time until he got hurt. Then Shakhov as a #10, just as bad. Pelkas didn't kick into high gear for a few months either, but by then Biseswar had finally gotten a run and proved too hot to remove from the lineup. I worry that Lucescu's rumored proclivity towards a 4-4-2 (and his stated belief that a team shouldn't need defensive midfielders) is going to harm us. It's a big change from how we play now. Basically, he may want something like the below, with Pelkas playing as a striker and two CMs who want to run forward. --Mauricio--Wernbloom-- --Campos-- --Henrique-- --Pelkas--Prijovic-- And yes, you should just consider Prijovic to be a placeholder in that example.

OnSports is reporting that Srna is in Thessaloniki. TERRIBLE idea. Why do we need a 36 year old right back????
