Now that Kedziora is getting more time at CB than RB, I think we'll be fine. Same with Rahman, if he goes (I'm sure he will). Soares has been pretty good, and Vieirinha will get plenty of time. What I am MORE interested in: will Tzimas actually get real minutes? We literally have no other strikers, if Brandon Thomas gets hurt or fatigued. Like surely Tzimas will be forced to start at some point, unless we start playing Taison as a false 9 or something. It will be very interesting to see what happens there. Even if Thomas starts every game, you'd think Tzimas would lock down a sold half hour each time, just out of necessity.

I don't care enough about the other subforums here to post this in, so you guys get the beauty of my thoughts instead: Watching the Arsenal - West Ham game, and Mavropanos just scored what I think is his first premier league goal vs his former club. I'd cheer but I had money on Arsenal winning ?

F Soares seems to have a few teams interested in taking him on loan, one of which is in Portugal. Glad they are not outright selling him; hopefully he comes back much stronger.

Sounds like our game vs Olympiakos will take place in front of fans, just due to the timing of the schedule. However, I think you should all definitely expect this fan ban to be extended until our game is played.

Wow, I didn't see this and had to go take a look. Pathetic.

That team's gonna implode (huzzah!)

Reports are that Lucescu is about to sign a multi-year contract extension. He's been in Romania for a few days I think, so probably hasn't actually signed. Though our having a game on the third probably means it'll be any day now. I watched a few of those Rosier highlights. I am liking what I see. Saw some Turkish accounts tweeting about this as well, and from what I could glean via Google Translate, it seems they're willing to let him go because he hasn't gelled with the team. Besiktas spent 4.8 million for him; he might end up our most expensive acquisition yet if they insist on making their money back.

Was this the guy we were linked with this summer? I might be thinking of a striker instead. https://inpaok.com/802185/i-epimoni-ton-tourkon-gia-rosie-paok/ https://www.transfermarkt.us/valentin-rosier/profil/spieler/441170 Seems like one of the bigger moves we could make this winter.

Since it's on all social media, I feel I must add this here:

It's a shame because he seemed to start out strong this year. But we just have way too many midfielders. Unfortunately, he probably won't be missed. Word has it that Lyratzis will be loaned as well - can't be much of a surprise considering he can't even make the bench. Also, apparently the Romanians think Lucescu will want one of his countrymen. This feels like your traditional, "this guy shares a homeland so logically will be nepo-babied" nonsense that sports media loves to do. But who knows, maybe the team will surprise me. https://www.transfermarkt.us/tudor-baluta/profil/spieler/433976

I am a GOD

Great game to watch, nice and easy (as expected). May all our years end on such a high note. Merry Christmas my sweethearts ❤️

Ozdoev is a DAWG

MURGYYYY

I want to see at least six goals today. Make it happen, Murg!

Funny thing is, each report I read says something else. Some say board member, some say TD, and now this: https://inpaok.com/801704/tomas-zorn-gia-ceo-stin-pae-paok/

"But who will I nurse back to health!?"

This kid is literally haunting us hahaha

Here's the squad list. Who is more likely to score I wonder, Murg or Despodov? I'd imagine both will start.

Another rumor, though some sites say he really wants to play in a top-five league. Perhaps the team really wants to employ that Japanese-language social media manager again? https://www.transfermarkt.us/daiki-hashioka/profil/spieler/387191 Naturally, he's also injured. Pretty much what you'd expect with a PAOK transfer.

Hahahaha LET'S GOOOOOOOOO Honestly he'd probably come very cheap. And, speaking as someone that has gone out in Serres many times - he will 100000% get in a lot of trouble. Though that's not saying much; he'd get handsy in a graveyard if given a chance.

I think the CB is more important for next season (I mean, we have like five already right now) - by then, hopefully both Nasberg and Kedziora will be gone. Agreed on right back though. Even if he doesn't get a ton of time this year, we need that position to be settled for next summer's games. For me, we need a striker more than we need another midfielder. It seems like Meite may be the guy (though maybe that 4mm EUR clause will be too much and we have to buy another)...

Yup, but with performances like this, he'll have no trouble finding a team one way or another. Perhaps a more useful perspective: does PAOK have someone who is better already on their radar?

LOT of teams there we could tackle pretty handily, IMO...

Imagine losing to the worst team in the league. AEK definitely destined for greatness this season. That Olympiakos goal was a penalty, of course. About four minutes to go
