Kotarski's deal appears to be for about 2mm (paid to his current club), according to some Italians. Plus some sort of bonus potential. Haven't seen anything yet about the length of his contract or his renumeration.

I would agree. I remember people being excited about him. He's 25 so just barely squeezes in under Boto's "young enough to make a name for himself" philosophy. The thing is, isn't he a CF (and not a winger)?

The Kargas contract is supposedly for 3+1 years. He should be signing any minute now, and attending the afternoon training (which I believe begins in two hours). How's that for some around-the-world accuracy?

First leg in Bulgaria is at 8pm, return leg is at 830

Benfica never cuts deals haha

Dantes' loan apparently includes a purchase option for 4mm for 50% of his rights, or 7mm to get him outright.

Someone's been going to Bible study!

And Ricardo, if Lucescu keeps him. It would be just like us to crash and burn out of the qualifiers and be saddled with 35 players for this season. Which we all know will result in another championship!

It looks like Schwab has re-signed, for two years. Earlier posts online were claiming that in order to secure the two year contract, he agreed to lower his wage demands (which I would note are not that high to begin with, considering who he replaced). Some much-needed stability going into the new-look PAOK, in my opinion.

Supposedly a loan with a purchase option? Here's a highlights vid. Kid has style

It's cute you think I wear a shirt

Might be contingent on Augusto being sold? We have a ton of midfielders now ...

It was mentioned years ago but I don't have confirmation. I guess we'll see soon. But it would be hard to fit more people with the current height restrictions otherwise! I would assume the # quoted above was just George Savvidis taking a guess as an homage to the club's founding.

Nope! Apart from the Populous guy looking exactly like every architect who's ever existed. I'll give you one guess which of these guys he is:

Here is the video. Populous guy comes out around 58 minutes in. It's pretty dry so far!

If they're sinking the pitch, that's a lot of space to find, like, an ancient village haha But yes hopefully anything that's there, is WAY lower.

300k is chump change for a decent backup. Hopefully he surprises me and outcompetes some other players. I will say that I also prefer signing Greeks over no-name foreigners, so I guess there's that. -edit- here's a highlight vid of Kargas:

Uhh what? https://inpaok.com/733846/anoixe-o-dromos-gia-karga/ https://www.transfermarkt.com/giannis-kargas/profil/spieler/242758 Is this just to get some out-of-date intel on Levski Sofia? Hahaha

I would be surprised if nothing is found. That area has been inhabited since the bronze age. And the eponymous "tell" that is being excavated is literally 4-5 blocks from the stadium. Hopefully there is a plan in place to secure whatever material is found, and properly display it (perhaps as a WELL-DEFENDED museum on the stadium's grounds?)...

Press conference tomorrow on PAOKTV: https://inpaok.com/733812/paok-xekina-o-schediasmos-tis-neas-toubas/ I guess these guys are the actual construction company: https://www.salfo.gr/ Hopefully they don't bring a few Athenians up to bury cursed objects under our goals (which I can swear I've read about in the NFL haha)

Sounds like Lamprou (who I completely forgot was still our player) will be joining the team for preseason. I would assume at this point that he's a known quantity and won't take one of those remaining slots. Guess we'll see. Kotarski may be joining in the Netherlands, as he was recently playing with his (youth) NT. I'm not sure how the medicals/signings will work there (if he'll show up in Greece at all).

If we're buying 30 year olds, then we're failing at our supposed new strategy. Either Boto is as good as his reputation suggests and we're setting ourselves up for the future, or he isn't and he'll be fired. Anyway, our new guy has scored in what is hopefully his last game with his current team:

Krmencik is heading to a team in Jakarta. WOW. Did something happen to him??

I think the owner of the site let his ownership of the domain lapse, either because he was lazy and it had started to turn into Lord of the Flies in there... or because he sold it? Or some combination of the two?

When greeksoccer.com shut down, the alt-right members (which were broadly Olympiakos supporters) started their own cesspit forum, where as far as I know they still circle jerk today
