My projected lineup for this game: ----------- Kotarski (Zivkovic) ----------- Lyratzis - Ingason - Koulierakis - Tsaousis ---- Dantas --------------- Kurtic -------- Narey ------- El Kaddouri ------ Zivkovic -----------------Thomas -----------------

Now that the Summer 2022 transfer period is over let’s summarize the results. PLAYERS ACQUIRED Khaled Narey (1994) - offense (€ 1,500,000 purchase) – from Fortuna Dusseldorf Thomas Brandon (1995) – offense (free transfer) - Malaga Dominik Kotarski (2000) – goalkeeper (€ 2,000,000) – NK Gorica Giannis Kargas (1994) – central defender (€ 350,000) – PAS Giannina Andre Ricardo (2000) – midfield (free transfer) - Famaliacao Rafa Soares (1995) – left back (free transfer) – Vitoria Guimaraes Ivan Nasberg (1996) – center back (free transfer) – Valerenga Tiago Dantas (2000) – midfield (loan) – Benfica Lisbon Niko Quagliata (1999) – midfield (€ 1,700,000) - Montevideo Wanderers Giannis Konstantelias (2003) – midfield (returned from loan) – KAS Eupen Konstantinos Koulierakis (2004) – central back (promoted from ‘B’ team) Marios Tsaousis (2000) – left back (promoted from ‘B’ team) PLAYERS LEAVING THE TEAM Charis Tsiggaras (2000) – loaned to Toulouse until June 30, 2023 Lucas Taylor (1995) – loaned to Shacktar Donetsk until June 30, 2023 Georgios Koutsias (2004) – loaned to NFC Volos until June 30, 2023 Lazaros Lambrou (1998) – sold to Excelsior Enea Mihaj (1998) – sold to Famalicao Antonio Colak (1993) – sold to Glasgow Rangers Jose Crespo (1987) – contract not renewed Fernando Varela (1988) – contract not renewed Alexandros Paschalakis (1991) – contract not renewed Alexander Mitrita (1995) – loan ended Ferreira Sidcley (1993) – loan ended Chuba Akpom (1995) – loan ended PERSONA NON GRATA Nika Ninua (1999) - midfield Tomas Murg (1994) - midfield Leo Jaba (1998) - offense

I think we are done. There is still a window until September 30th for free agents, but I don't see any involvement by PAOK. If it was up to me I would suggest to you pash to open the January 2023 transfer thread.

Friendly against Panserraikos on September 25 at 17:00 EEST at Toumba. Once again behind closed doors and no TV coverage.

The player did not want to come to PAOK. In any case I don't understand why Boto could not find another "10" since the coach was asking for one. In other news, Koutsias extended his contract with PAOK for 4 more years (250K per season) and was immediately loaned to Volos for one year. Still don't understand why we keep dealing with that crook Beos after all these years.

Net TV Plus is not a bad service, but as Aetos tis Olandias mentions there is no direct revenue for PAOK. Since Net TV Plus is part of Novasport we get paid through the contract with NOVA. I have a feeling that NOVA told PAOK they can't show the games, so more people could subscribe to Net TV Plus, or demanded a cut from the subscription that PAOK TV sold.

Lets hope that is the case and he will miss minimal amount of games.

I think we will miss Kotarski for a while. He did not look good at the end. Concussions can be nasty.

Nice goal by Kurtic.

Vieirinha and Biseswar big liability on the left side.

Narey should have scored there.

Almost 0:1

Looks like the live broadcasts of PAOK home games in Superleague have come to an end:

Still no sign of PAOK TV, so it looks like we will be searching for streams tomorrow to watch the game.

Except for the assist on the goal Fernandes did not really impress me. Not sure why we are after him since we already have Zivkovic in that spot.

Looks like Paolo Fernandes from Volos will be our final transfer for this season. The deal should be sealed soon. Apparently part of the deal is a Koutsias loan to Volos, but he must sign a contract extension with PAOK first.

Most likely it's just the web site being re-designed. We shall see.

PAOK TV web site (https://tv.paokfc.gr/) is under construction. Hopefully that does not mean the end of live game broadcasts now that the brains behind PAOK TV left the organization.

Easy win against Estonia, but Giannis left the game injured. Next game is knock out against Czech Republic.

The final number for the season tickets is 10,058 These are the lucky season ticket holders for the last season of the old Toumba.

I pretty much expect the same line up as our last game except for Lyratzis starting as RB and Vieirinha shifting to LB.

Lyratzis took part in full practice today and will most likely be ready for the game on Sunday. Portuguese officiating crew for this game. They called previous PAOK - Aris games.

Tsiggaras officially announced by Toulouse.
