His grandfather is from Valtero, which is spitting distance from where both sides of my family live. Real trash town, guy's descendants are all automatically guaranteed citizenship into perpetuity just based on that handicap. A gypsy in the Irakleia bazaar (down the street) once saw I was wearing pumas and told me they could get me "hundreds" of authentic ones if I met them back in Valtero to properly haggle. I'm sure my spleen would have been stolen. 10/10 would recommend.

I woke up to a bunch of texts from a Juventus-fan friend of mine, telling me Igor Tudor is now their coach. Must be his dream job considering his connection to them. Congrats I guess...

Someone tell our administration that we could KEEP getting new players in the national team, if they just develop and play them! They might have forgotten 🤷‍♂️

Feels like more announcements than in most years, right? Anyway, three more contract extensions announced today, I think all through 2028: U17 striker: https://www.transfermarkt.com/nikolaos-chaldezos/profil/spieler/1326863 U19 GK: GK (not sure which team he's in, prob U17): https://www.paokfc.gr/en/profiles/eleftherios-manasidis/

Man, remember when he came out and scored like two goals in one game and then we never saw him again? Ahhh what could have been

And is also one of the kids who got the new contract!

Thanks babe, this is the most useful I've ever found you to be!

Here's the first signing. I don't....understand how he can sign before the season is over? Is there some exception made for a contract that begins with the end of the current season? Also, I didn't think we could negotiate with players outside of a transfer window. https://inpaok.com/857546/episimo-ston-paok-o-gkougkesasvili/

This might be the first time I've heard one of our fan sites actually start to care about the fundamental problems. The question is, will Lucescu play ball? If he quits over a change of direction, better it happen immediately after the season ends. https://inpaok.com/857434/i-ora-ton-apofaseon-gia-ton-ivan-savvidi/ I still think we might grab third spot, because Panathinaikos looks just as bad as we do. But it would require a Herculean effort to move up to second place.

A few more youths got new contracts, this time for our U17 squad. https://www.transfermarkt.com/evagjelos-gjoka/profil/spieler/1163035 https://www.transfermarkt.com/konstantinos-souvlatzis/profil/spieler/1329906 https://www.transfermarkt.com/georgios-krommydas/profil/spieler/1104554

Currently 0-1 in our favor in the 86th minute, our future phenom Kottas scored in the fourth minute. Just need to see those last few minutes through now. Welcome to the senior team our sweet baby boy! -edit- Hurtado missed a PK around 75 minutes in. Boo hiss!

I swear to GOD, a 50% pay cut still won't make him worth signing. Just imagine we used some of that 29 million we earned last summer on a complimentary 25 year old that can play up front with Chalov. 4-4-1-1 - style. -edit- not sure why that link didn't stay saved https://inpaok.com/857059/o-samata-thelei-alla-o-paok-den-viazetai/

They don't exactly have a history of massive buys, and they have multiple good goalies that are under contract through at least 2026...unless one of them is about to be sold, I find this questionable. One of those goalies is hurt through the end of the season, but I don't think that implies he won't be ready for preseason.

Hah I was just going to complain that our friend PaokCT broke this news but apparently the twitter embedding broke even going back last month. Disappointing. Musk hates the open internet!

Whoever that was, should get whipped!

WELL THIS ISN'T GOING WELL! -edit- their second goal is disallowed due to a foul on Taison, thank god

Despogoal at 1:23

So much for that! Silly me. But we do now see Meite/Camara starting, for the first time. I still think we'll score five. https://x.com/PAOK_FC/status/1898765932522098707 -edit- the embedding of the tweet doesn't seem to be working so leaving it as a link

Oh no, so our better striker might be forced to play how sad 😞 😞 😞 😞 😞

I don't understand the breathless following of Zivkovic's injury in light of this game. Athens Kallithea is a terrible team. Put our B team on and we'll still win by three.

How could it have been him if he was TOO BUSY PARTYING

WAS IT SAMATTA?!!?! Give him a new contract immediately! But yeah I'm guessing it's Baba or Michailidis in those half-field "scrimmages." Would line up with who would be most likely to defend against him.

Zivkovic hurt again, this time his knee. Perhaps we rushed him back too early. Hopefully this doesn't get worse.

I hope so, but I fear that most of them will be back on multi-year contracts!

IT'S THE HAPPIEST TIME OF YEAR! To round up what I posted in the other thread: Samatta to be renewed (oh god PLEASE NO) Lykogiannis (a free agent) as possible left-back, or more likely backup left-back
