Looks like Ajax has already scored

If anyone finds a mirror, I will rub your belly

Hey, man, just combining these two numbers

If you added the two years together and tripled it, I'd tell you that's still a pathetic amount for a professional sports team with aspirations for titles...

If he can't handle the abuse at Leeds, he'll be absolutely crushed in Toumba. But a change of pace could be just what he needs. Crespo, from what I recall, had even worse reviews from his time in England - if Beluschi ends up 75% as good as he does, then he'll be a solid backup. If we do end up getting the Peruvian guy, we're looking at a lineup of experienced CBs that is five men deep, plus Poungouras and Dimitriou (assuming they're not loaned out).

I didn't watch it, but someone put it on youtube:

Not an exciting match-up, but probably the hardest team of that list we could have drawn. Here's their transfermarkt profile: https://www.transfermarkt.com/olimpik-donetsk/startseite/verein/23611 On the plus side, Ukraine is ranked higher than Greece - beating them will only help our country coefficient in the long run. Dutch Eagle, looks like you're right about where they put their cash (though a little off on the country of origin ;) ): https://www.transfermarkt.com/moha/profil/spieler/316280

Here are some lineups Stanojevic has been experimenting with. That second one is just a thinly disguised 4-4-2, but hey, whatever works. http://www.sport24.gr/football/omades/Paok/oi-treis-dokimes-toy-stanogevits.4765466.html

Here's the game on youtube for anyone interested:

Panionios beat ND Gorica 2-0 at home. Barring a disaster, they should make it to the next round (but as one of the lowest-ranked teams in the competition, they're going to have a hell of an uphill battle qualifying). More importantly - Lamprou played 90 minutes as RW.

I haven't actually seen any numbers, just that they're trying to offer less for this season. I can't imagine that it's all that much money.

Judging by how often he hits buttons while speaking, I feel he's holding an old Nokia to his ear ;)

Doesn't he technically use a cell phone? ;) If there's another team available, I say we walk. The team isn't exactly going to bust its ass to play a friendly, after all.

Ahh that makes sense. Too bad we didn't have more cup games that early. Especially since we'll probably end up playing some third division team.

So we avoid the bigger teams for our fan-less games? Wow. -edit- Wait, isn't that just six games you listed? So we will have no fans vs Panathinaikos?

As long as we use an attacking midfielder, I'm happy with pretty much ANY formation. If Stanojevic is smart, he'll try to bleed in his preferred formations over the course of our season vs easier opponents. Forcing this through with two weeks of training is a recipe for disasters. That kid that collapsed during Ajax's friendly a few weeks back apparently has brain damage. Jeez. I wonder if the team is going to do some sort of tribute when we play them. -edit- IF we play them...the game might be up in the air at this point

He DEFINITELY should rethink that formation. We have way too many dedicated attacking midfielders who are simply wasted on the wings. It was clear that the team is not very comfortable playing like this.

Seems everyone's going a little nuts. Nice job by Leveque carrying that dude

Big save by Siampanis on the last play of the half

InPAOK is saying that Vukic is watching the game too. Surely all this flirting with the player is leading to a job?
