Are we that negative? From what I gathered, if our finishing was 1% better, we would have scored a half dozen on Sunday. Let's hope it is on the 11th.

Amazing that it'll take us through mid-month January to finally reach the midway point of the season.

You're referring to the APOEL rumors? Good. Hopefully they can afford most of his salary, too.

Ready....for a transfer

I look at it another way - it takes a season to acclimate to a team and new environment, which is why Mak was so-so that first year. When Rodrigues came in, he had settled into his role and the team basically was built off of a fast player on the left wing who could be the "difference maker" that none of our other players could be. I think Rodrigues is stylistically different at heart, but it was obvious that this was the way the team was going to play, so he made it work - after all, most of Gary's goals came in the exact same way as Mak's. As for Stoch - yes, there's a risk there. If we take him on loan with an option to buy, we could mitigate that risk. Personally, I think he's a better player than Rodrigues (just as I think Mak was better). Incidentally, that Leonardo guy is almost certainly not coming here. How long does this transfer window last, again? January 31st?

From what I've seen, he was sold for 3.6 (this is the amount we took after that manager took his cut). This makes him the third most expensive transfer we've had in recent years, just barely edging out Mak.

700k is a GREAT offer for this guy. Not so great on our part, but hopefully this desperation-based attempt doesn't blow up in our faces. On the Stoch front, metrosport is saying we offered 1.2mm + bonuses (vs the 2mm he was making at Fenerbace). Reportedly, he's eager to leave Turkey due to his girlfriend being pregnant (not a great place for an Aryan god to be raising a family, I guess). Metrosport's "source" gives it a 50-50 chance of happening. To me, it's very likely that Stoch is waiting for the best deal he can get. If nobody offers more, we will likely get him. Personally, I doubt many teams in Europe will be willing to hit 2mm a year for someone who has been on the outs with his club for like four years, and has only played five times this season (and who spent the last year or two in the middle east).

inPAOK is saying we had a verbal agreement with Ansarifard, and a deadline for him to sign today. However, his manager has decided this is a good time to shop him around to see if he can get more favorable numbers.

Can't say I blame him. Vastly underused player.

Game ended with Glykos, Klaus, and Canas joining Ivic and Michel for a meeting with Savvidis. Not sure what this is all about. After the players departed, Ivic stayed and apparently had another two or three hours worth of meetings.

Got about eight inches last night here. Was shoveling my car out in shorts. #realman Coincidentally, BT also got eight inches last night.

Mind blowing that Pereyra doesn't get the start more often. Thank God PAO and AEK are also garbage.

Sounds like we're going to three in the back

Giannina has scored

All the results I've found so far are just streams of ANT1. Still looking.

Pelkas and Koulouris starting this match, lineup otherwise unchanged

Need to fill my sex dungeon with SOMEONE...

JVC, if I ever find a bride I want you to be my κουμπάρο See you guys in a few months!

JVC, never change my friend <3

I have my doubts, but apparently he went for 700k

As long as we can rely on you guys to blow it, the sky's the limit

AEK just lost vs Asteras, great result for us. A win vs Giannina tomorrow will bring us into at least fifth place.

Trying to get me to send you pics? Leave it to a Panathinaikos fan to ruin every thread.

Please, babe, you know I'm swole

What's funny is I was driving home from the gym just now, listening to Metropolis, and the guy was going on and on and on about how many layers you need to wear, what kind of socks are appropriate, etc etc. Meanwhile, it's almost exactly the same temperature here (with our first "snow emergency" of the year just beginning), and I'm just wondering if I need to bother wearing a winter jacket when I walk over to the bars in a few hours. I bet Blackhawk's house is already encased in ice.
