Troost-Ekong might be injured, hopefully this is not a big one: https://inpaok.com/805976/kindynos-na-chasei-to-tournoua-o-ekongk/

I believe Lucescu said in a recent post-game interview that Lyratzis wanted to go. It seems he knew he would ride the bench even without the guy already locked down (which I think would have been the predictable result anyway). Maximovic at this point is a luxury. I would imagine we'll move to make Meite permanent (if we weren't going to do that anyway). If so, where would Maximovic even play? Let Pao drain their coffers, I say.

Btw is it just me or is there a bottomless blue pit behind our goal

Deletic looks a lot like Bibras Natcho!

The answer to why he hasn't played much this year can be found by reading the previous post and doing some googling. But if you did that, trolling would be harder, right?

Konstantelias missed the last practice due to an illness, which may explain Ricardo's elevation to the squad: He apparently has only played three times this season, which does not bode well for his continued employment by PAOK.

Was he really involved in a brawl?? Haha that's fantastic. He'll be playing for Panserraikos in no time. PAOKSYD he apparently has no dominant foot, and so can be used on either side.

Saw a rumor that we were making a move for Jonny Otto, who apparently is "in the pits" with management at Wolves. I very, very much doubt we could afford him (either salary or transfer fee). But perhaps a loan? He's also rumored to be reuniting with Celta de Vigo (his original club), which I find to be a MUCH more likely move. I'm embarrassed to even be reporting this! https://www.transfermarkt.us/jonny-otto/profil/spieler/175446

Hate that there's a buyout, but at least he's got a chance to actually play. This, meanwhile, feels like nonsense: https://www.transfermarkt.us/santiago-arias/profil/spieler/120443

That's the spirit!

This fella popped up a few weeks (or months?) ago and then dropped off. Looks like the team has acquired the player on a 2.5 year contract. PAOK B now has seven goalkeepers on the roster, though Talichmanidis pulls double duty and I think one of the other guys is about to be sold. Seems like too many either way. https://inpaok.com/805346/episima-ston-paok-o-nanter/

Well at least AEK got knocked out. It's good to add to Panathinaikos' fatigue in the league I guess, but Olympiakos is just so much worse this year... And of course, we will be playing PAO in the semis, once they beat Atromitos. Hopefully they'll get a bunch of red cards. So I suppose if we make it to the final, that means it'll be us vs either Aris or OFI/Panaitolikos. -edit- I missed that Levadiakos and Niki Volos still have to play, so Aris isn't through yet. I can't imagine either of those teams will be much trouble for them, though.

All I know is that I'm the world's greatest gambler!

That Warda guy had some nice passes. We should try to poach him

Beeeaauuuuutiful goal! And wins me a solid $15 with that, haha In all seriousness, do players even practice penalties?

lmao let's blame the grass!

Agreed on the needed subs. And also agreed that Marcos Antonio is no #10...

You must be overjoyed! hahaha

Could be that he realizes this game will end up 0-4 in our favor regardless of his participation. Still not great to see. Blackhawk, noticing now the state of the pitch...good lord. Guys, you have one job...

Kind of surprised Nasberg is getting the start. Is today gonna give us a Zivkogoal?!

Wasn't he (Warda) without a squad for the first half of the season? I can totally see it. What if he becomes a bit roly-poly and ends up becoming the next Biseswar!

So much for riding the bench, Lyratzis is not in the squad listing. Wouldn't be shocking to see Kedziora play there over the next month.

My GOD, he's the same age as a car that rear-ended me a few months ago!

Lyratzis likely off to Asteras Tripolis, after he rides the bench one more time vs Panserraikos. Hopefully he comes back with a ton of minutes under his belt.

Rosier to head back to France, it seems: https://inpaok.com/804913/symfonia-besiktas-me-nis-gia-rozie-pic/ (a shame) Marcos Antonio may be heading to Flamengo after his loan here is up. Interestingly enough, I thought our buy-out was for 8mm, not the 6mm that is quoted here. Honestly, I can't imagine that we'd spend even that six million to get him permanently. https://inpaok.com/804916/thelei-ton-markos-antonio-i-flamengko/ -edit- and another late breaking bit of news, for a winger in the B team: https://inpaok.com/804952/pros-legkia-o-minas-vasileiadis/ (we could do worse than making some money off Legia imo)
