Toumba is absolutely bumpin, this must be nearly sold out.
Also, as for Pelkas - this is exactly what we were complaining about after our last loss against AEK - we need some players in there who know what derbies mean. Now we've got one.
Expect Pelkas and Warda to exchange positions constantly. You'll see a lot of movement with this lineup, which is doubtlessly what Ivic is going for.
Now to see if Crespo/Varela can stop Berg.
I'm not watching the cup match right now but from what I can see nobody's gotten even a yellow? Could just be the app not updating correctly.
Oly winning 0-1 right now, which means they're out. Game should be ending any second now.
-edit- and just as I tune in more shenanigans
Galatasaray missed another payment (500k)...which brings the amount still owed up to 2mm (as far as I know there is no progress on getting paid). If they weasel their way out of this with no penalties I'm'a be so pissed.
We have a glut in the midfield, any combination of those players I'd be fine with.
Warda over Campos isn't a bad idea at all, but I have a feeling Campos' bizarre knack for forcing really surprising mistakes out of his opponents could prove decisive. Generally, if Campos doesn't start out well, he doesn't end well, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see both on the field anyway.
I really don't know how Ivic will go with this one. As JVC says above, defending will be even more important than before. Could we see a 3-5-2? That would be interesting, maybe pairing Pelkas or Campos with Prijovic.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if he starts Klaus over Prijovic, though I hope that's not the case. All players are currently available and training normally, no injury issues beyond Mistakidis. My best guess:
--Glykos--
--Matos--Varela--Crespo--Leovac--
--Shakhov--Biseswar--Cimirot--
--Campos--Prijovic--Henrique
Though it's tough to tell if he won't prefer Canas or Warda in there over some of the other players (Cimirot and Henrique probably)
Are we going to be seeing B teams? That would be interesting. I thought this was something Savvidis had tried a few years ago, via a purchase of a second or third division team?
inPAOK also linking us with this guy from the same team (Carlo Casap): http://www.transfermarkt.com/carlo-casap/profil/spieler/340981
Do we really need this many 19 year olds in positions that we are overflowing in?
Linked with Florinel Coman, a Romanian LW (19 years old). Michel reportedly in Romania to watch/buy him.

Platanias also claiming that their players were attacked during their away game vs Olympiakos, which would carry another possible six point deduction. This is pretty unreal stuff.
The last I checked (which was a few weeks ago), he was in a multi-way tie for fourth, if you count all goals scored in the season. I doubt he'll end the year as their top scorer, especially if he continues not playing.
Augsburg in real trouble, as well.
