I'm not sure that they want to get rid of him, per se. I just figure they'll take any inquiries they receive into consideration - isn't Steaua the one instigating this? If he goes, no way we'll be relying on Poungouras as third choice (or Dimitriou for that matter, who will almost certainly be on the K20s this season). I do hope Poungouras gets more time this year, but hopefully one of those other names we heard earlier will show up. Good sign that he's gotten as much playing time as he has in these two friendlies, at least.

On the plus side, Leveque and Mak looked good. It was the first game for both of them. I also like that Stanojevic has been real positive on Poungouras, Dimitriou, and Kace. I think we still haven't seen Konstantinidis, right? Last I heard his toenail was hurting.

Good writeup of the friendly: http://inpaok.com/366249

Didn't we pay 2.2mm for Prijovic? Either way, these aren't particularly large amounts. We ought to get used to them

Total spanking. Hopefully Stanojevic is paying attention.

The curse of the captain

What a bunch of babies Though it looks like Konstantinidis, Koulouris, and Kace are coming on -edit- though this is what PAOK's twitter account is saying; maybe I just don't know what our players look like: 68' #Dimitriou, #Koulouris, #Deligiannidis και #Kace στις θέσεις των #Matos, #Varela, #Canas #Shakhov

Poor Varela, RIP Mak is wearing 29? I don't approve. Give him Warda's number dammit

Maybe he's re-cutting himself so that he has a reason to keep wearing it. Looks like a pirate. Good hustle by him, by the way.

Mak, Henrique, Leveque, and Pelkas coming on for Jairo, Prijovic, Leovac, and Campos.

Yeah, half time. I don't like this formation at all. If he wants three defenders, then he should switch to a 3-5-2 and take advantage of Pelkas being available. Biseswar and Cimirot, incidentally, were given the day off to rest.

Goal Gent. Well deserved, they've been much better than us

We look awful. Our wingers aren't creative enough to start anything. Nice movement by Campos though

Here's the lineup. Stanojevic is not expected to swap the entire team out at half, as well.

A few sites are saying that Rey is a done deal and will be coming shortly to Thessaloniki. Personally I think this is a better move than Ochoa, and I think it buying a second GK will be a waste. Newsbeast.gr is saying the sale price is 1.8mm, and we're signing him to a four year contract. Hope this works out.

Do you think once they launch the paid service, that they'll use us as their color commentators? I can pretend to have a British accent if it will help

^ now this guy's got a memory

Welcome! Out of curiosity, what attracted you to them at the ripe old age of 15??

It looks like for the friendly vs Ghent, PAOK will be showing the game "TV style"...as in, with multiple cameras and higher quality than before. Very solid - now I'm just waiting on them to announce a paid PAOKTV season pass ;)

Mak's training today, not yet wearing a number. I'm going to guess he'll be wearing # 7

The team should be announcing the termination of Pereyra's contract any day now Also looks like Warda is more likely to be loaned out this year than he is to be sold

Oh HELL yeah:

That's game, final score of 4-0 (PK Koulouris)

Goal Biseswar, assist by Matos

Here's the second half lineup:
