Anyway - Jeremejeff's big offer appears to have come from a team in Jakarta, so he follows in the footsteps of Krmencik to get big money in Indonesia. Possibly even the same team? Good luck to him!

YOU RANG?

Tzolis with two assists in today's (Community Shield) win vs Manchester City. Our boy is gonna make us so proud

Ehh Lazio's fans are full-on boycotting their team so I think our problems are minor.

I have a friend who complains to me every winter that the city he lives in can't maintain its roads, the freeze/thaw cycle destroys the pavement, they never plow the snow well enough, they don't treat the roads for ice, etc etc. Then when he hears the city government is raising money for roadway improvements, his reaction is to say that they shouldn't get any money because he knows they will screw it up and not spend it well. Don't be that guy. You can't take step 2 without taking step 1.

Lol This is for the best! You can't operate a club by assuming we can't grow it and therefore shouldn't ever sell a guy when such a (literally?) golden opportunity arises.

Fans are all stupid. You shouldn't endlessly hold on to players just because it gives you the warm and fuzzies. We have a million kids that'll go through the academy. It's incredibly exciting to see who can come through next. Selling players like Konstantelias allows us to both pay for the pipeline, AND opens up a space! Anyway, another rumor for CB now that the Slovenian guy has negged us: https://www.transfermarkt.com/hjalmar-ekdal/profil/spieler/392179

Some rumors of Dortmund offering something in the 25-30mm range for Konstantelias, with his own salary to reach around 3 million/year. It will be really stupid of both us and him to not eventually agree to a transfer (though we should try to push those #s up). The guy who was their "plan A" netted a much larger offer from Dortmund, which was rejected, so clearly there is more room to make more money. And yes I know people think he won't want to leave or whatever. We still should sell him. We could be talking about an amount that will fundamentally reset this team's prospects for years to come, should we spend it wisely. Kamara apparently also rejected an offer from some Saudi team, because he thinks he has a chance at moving to a better league. I think the writing is on the wall with that guy, probably more imminently than Konstantelias. I'd be surprised if he's still with us in September.

Hey, that's GREEK SUPERCUP-WINNING TEAM OFI - put some respect on their name!

Another rumor that our third choice RB is Ruben Sanchez, who plays for Espanyol: https://www.transfermarkt.us/ruben-sanchez/profil/spieler/705813

Reports that we're getting Cherif Ndiaye from Samsunspor on loan. CF https://www.transfermarkt.com/cherif-ndiaye/profil/spieler/480705

Yeah my first thought was this fell apart because of the EL...

We are so unbelievably weak

I was just gonna say Gomez needs to come on. Baba is not good enough anymore. Giannoulis and Gomez are THE FUTURE, my boys!

What an infuriating match. Hopefully they can turn around our piss poor performance in the second half

Konstantelias gets the start:

Genuinely: we are better than them. We should be able to win this. Who starts in Konstantelias' position, I wonder? Assuming Lisci keeps the formation the same...gotta be Pelkas, right? Unless Shoretire has really impressed him. Or he decides to instead play a second striker. Oh God he's going to start Louchet there, isn't he...

Konstantelias did not travel due to a personal issue??

Kristall Ingason sounds like Sverir's hot sister's name

Lot of posts over the past week about Konstantelias being 'on the radar' of basically every team. Now some reports that Fenerbahce wants him but thinks he's too expensive, while he is now Dortmund's 'plan B' - I have my doubts about all of this but I guess we'll see. In other news, I saw some fan page on instagram claiming we're taking Vanja Drkusic on loan from Zenit. I've seen him rumored to be linked with us before; who knows if this is real. He's a CB. https://www.transfermarkt.com/vanja-drkusic/profil/spieler/371856

Some rumors that Koulouris might make his way back to us. This would be in the event that Jeremejeff leaves.

Michelbrencis got an offer from Valencia so he is obviously not gonna go slumming in Greece

Rumored to be interested in Casper Tengstedt (CF) who also is seeing interest from Seattle (Sounders) and Trabzonspor. https://www.transfermarkt.us/casper-tengstedt/profil/spieler/464598 https://www.fotmob.com/players/1102240/casper-tengstedt I'm not sure I'd say his stats are particularly inspiring.

They've been saying he's imminent for a while but I'm guessing European competition is the hinge point on a lot of these potential signings. And honestly if we can't get through with the current squad, then having a small handful of additional players ain't gonna move the needle for us.

Does anyone else remember how we didn't play Facundo Pereyra because he was too small, even though he was our only striker who could score goals? lol -edit- coincidentally just saw on the forza instagram page that the Jeremejeff situation is driven by him receiving a two-year offer for a "50%" increase in earnings, so he may just want to leave. Even better, to be honest.
