Easy to be the most improved when you have so much to improve. I'll be surprised if you don't go broke from having to pay those past due wages.

Where to start? He refused to undergo medicals when he came back from summer break, then started telling Egyptian reporters that he wanted to leave the club, then when we let him leave to the Saudi team, he disappeared after returning to Egypt for a visa (for 48 hours!). Then we somehow get him a loan deal to a better team in Portugal, and what does he go? Harass multiple players' wives - FOR THE SECOND TIME IN HIS CAREER.

Apparently this isn't the first time Warda has gotten a little handsy. Sneaky little guy. El Kaddouri now reportedly coming on Wednesday. At this point, each of these reports has been wrong, so I'm not holding my breath. I'm sure that if this deal will be done, it will be at 11:59PM on the 30th.

There's a chance that Lucescu will decide he wants Warda on the list. He seems to be into discipline so maybe he can be redeemed. The word is now (again) that El Kaddouri will be bought for 1.2 million and will sign the previously mentioned three year contract.

We might be getting Warda back....unbelievable if true http://inpaok.com/373503/

The list continues. Linked with Daniel Torres, who is a DM who plays in La Liga. I don't know much about this guy. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/daniel-torres/profil/spieler/93142 Also, of note - I believe Stanojevic was like Tudor in more ways than one - I doubt he had any say in any of the transfers that were happening, and that none of our plans will have changed. All these guys are Michel's men, and thank goodness for that. Hopefully Lucescu can make it work.

Oh, they're your version of Austria. Gotcha!

Not counting Ivic in that?

I foresee no problems, this is also well within the honeymoon period. Much more worried about those last two matches we have without fans before the first derby. Fingers crossed - we'll see very soon how the team looks. Hopefully we utterly demolish the Swedes.

Here's an impromptu press conference! -edit- And another one!

Stoch officially sold to Slavia Prague. Good luck to him, he's a good player.

No, you're right, we didn't. Ivic (a conservative coach) had us playing much more aggressively. I can't speak to how much of that was because of the players' mentalities, however. I'm optimistic about this move. It's never a good sign when the pressure starts building before you even have your first official game. I'd rather this happen now than in March as well, but goddamn it I wish this happened two weeks ago instead of today.

He must have lost more than just the Greek players. Reports from a day or two ago that Savvidis came back to Thessaloniki to ask pointed questions about our performance in those last two friendlies is what probably led to the final decision being made.

This guy knows

WHAT? Holy crap that was fast

His buy out is 5mm, right?

The others are dead to me.

What can I say? I want us to at least give winning it a goddamn shot. Amazing that our players don't seem to care as much. The link I thought I pasted in for El Kaddouri's videos doesn't seem to have been pasted in. Whoops. Oh well, they're just youtube videos (for anyone interested).

Galatasaray (still) wants Leovac - 1.5mm was their offer. Definitely way too low, and frankly F*** Galatasaray. Here are some videos of El Kaddouri, hopefully they make Yiankos feel better

Whoa, a second Sweden-based fan. Are you going to travel to the game???

I should probably put this here because Blackhawk's a REAL STICKLER for the rules Welcome! Whereabouts are you from?

Welcome! I noticed you logged in yesterday. Always great to have a new member of our weird family. Some of my favorite defenders are hotheads. I had found his instagram earlier but couldn't see any photos, but I'll take your word for it. Hopefully this works out, we definitely need some reinforcement back there (though I've never seen him play).

So the death threats weren't enough? We need to start with the conspiracy theories now? Klaus linked with Konyaspor(!) - please let this be true!! Sites are also still continuing to reference both a buy deal and a loan + option for El Kaddouri. Empoli reportedly is dead set against a straight sale, so it looks like the loan is in order (I'm reading both that there is a fee involved and that there isn't - so who knows at this point). Lots of confusion on the details about this one, but the player seems to really want to move, which is great. Zambrano also seems increasingly keen on a move to Greece. InPAOK posted a screenshot of his instagram saying as much, though when I tried to go to it myself the account was set to private. Is it possible that it was forged? Wouldn't put it past them.

Well Kace, Koulouris, and Konstantinidis are all rumored to be on their way to loans anyway. If they're part of this group, then it should help immensely.

If Michel wants to make a statement, then he can get rid of Koulouris + Klaus and find another Greek striker. Surely there must be a decent option available somewhere. Hell, promote someone from the K20 if needed. That said, I find it pretty amazing that these guys would try to sabotage the team when on paper, we should be able to mount a credible threat for the championship. We are SO CLOSE to where we want to be. Hopefully Stanojevic can win over at least some of these players, or someone else in the administration has a word with them. This should be a solvable problem. Please God let #27 not be part of this clique.
