Konstantelias did not travel due to a personal issue??

Kristall Ingason sounds like Sverir's hot sister's name

Lot of posts over the past week about Konstantelias being 'on the radar' of basically every team. Now some reports that Fenerbahce wants him but thinks he's too expensive, while he is now Dortmund's 'plan B' - I have my doubts about all of this but I guess we'll see. In other news, I saw some fan page on instagram claiming we're taking Vanja Drkusic on loan from Zenit. I've seen him rumored to be linked with us before; who knows if this is real. He's a CB. https://www.transfermarkt.com/vanja-drkusic/profil/spieler/371856

Some rumors that Koulouris might make his way back to us. This would be in the event that Jeremejeff leaves.

Michelbrencis got an offer from Valencia so he is obviously not gonna go slumming in Greece

Rumored to be interested in Casper Tengstedt (CF) who also is seeing interest from Seattle (Sounders) and Trabzonspor. https://www.transfermarkt.us/casper-tengstedt/profil/spieler/464598 https://www.fotmob.com/players/1102240/casper-tengstedt I'm not sure I'd say his stats are particularly inspiring.

They've been saying he's imminent for a while but I'm guessing European competition is the hinge point on a lot of these potential signings. And honestly if we can't get through with the current squad, then having a small handful of additional players ain't gonna move the needle for us.

Does anyone else remember how we didn't play Facundo Pereyra because he was too small, even though he was our only striker who could score goals? lol -edit- coincidentally just saw on the forza instagram page that the Jeremejeff situation is driven by him receiving a two-year offer for a "50%" increase in earnings, so he may just want to leave. Even better, to be honest.

Saw an article earlier on Lisci wanting a "smaller" striker, and a different post on instagram claiming Jeremejeff is on his way out (so we'd probably get two strikers). Guess we'll see. I like Jeremejeff but he hasn't impressed in preseason/these matches, for sure. Good for Mythou I guess. At least until he becomes a third stringer after we hire a pair of 45 year old forwards.

1-4 victory LET'S GOOOOO

I didn't put up with a decade of people the telling me the national team was s%$#! because defending is easy just to have a dweeb tell me it's actually harder and more impressive when it works against us!

Why would you ever give Michailidis the penalty?? Looks like the Mythou goal will be pulled back

Pretty crazy # for us to pay, if this happens...

Vieirinha is not gonna think with brain when it comes to his old teammates.

I'm also seeing that part of the terms include the teams playing a friendly?? Which side was desperate for that? Weird (but I don't hate it).

Couple of things: We have signed Adrian Caragea, a Romanian left winger who previously played for Dinamo Bucharest (FC Dinamo). His youth experience was mostly with Sassuolo in Italy. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adrian-caragea/profil/spieler/723836 There's also a rumor that we're signing this kid (a left winger) from Paraguay: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/axel-galeano/profil/spieler/1446733 I'm not really sure I follow the translation there - a buy option for 600k with bonuses bringing it up to a million? Which I guess implies that we're taking him on loan until 6/2027? -edit- I forgot to mention that the Caragea signing is for PAOK B! Transfermarkt also lists Galeano as a rumor for the B team, so it's possible both will head there.

Oh damn you ain't kiddin. What I'd give to hear Thomas' beautiful Greek get ruined by the Cypriot accent.

So odd that third qualifying round had scarier potential opponents than the PO

I bow before your analysis, m'lord!

Looks like Lyratzis will be moving to Atromitos. I'd imagine this will be a free transfer of some sort. Seems terms with William Mikelbrencis have allegedly been agreed and he is expected in Thessaloniki in a few days.

Sounds like Anderlecht has some injury issues too. They all seem pretty severe (broken/fractured bones, muscle tears). So I would doubt they'd show up in the second leg as well. Two of their three RBs are out (though Maamar - who played vs Hammarby and got an assist) should be available. One of their CBs is out, as is one of their two DMs. Could mean nothing for us but who knows, maybe we can capitalize on it. They're also linked with a new DM who could potentially be signed soon but unlikely he'd make the first game at this point.

Saw a claim on a fan page earlier that Lisci wants to keep Gomez on the team this season. That of course puts us in a bit of a pickle, since we have three (soon to be four) left backs. Gomez Taylor Baba Giannoulis Now...Taylor seems to be gone, which is fine by me. My hope is that Baba fails to impress and we finally release him. However, is there a chance we go into the season with three guys there? Would Lisci's preferred 3-man back line formation imply a higher utilization of these wingbacks? I think all three of those guys would actually be well suited to that formation.

I'm fine with that. Too slow. He'll rehab and then we loan him out to some team in Malta or something in late January, paying half his wages. Hopefully we'll hear more on Ali's situation soon.

I love it. I have really, really high hopes for Shoretire. I like the kid!

Whoa...a good age and I notice OG Nice plays a similar formation to what Lisci prefers. The transformation continues, huh? His contract is up in a year which may explain the (comparatively) big discount.
