We will be seeded in Pot 2 for the Group Stage draw tomorrow. We can thank our poor showing in recent years for not being seeded in Pot 1. We only missed that by 1.5 points.

Murg the scorer after a nice pass by Swiderski.

Halftime 1:0. Really wish one of those post went in. We really need another goal as they are dangerous when they counter attack.

El Kaddouri 1:0. Nice pass by Schwab. El kaddouri seems to be injured though.

You can watch it on the OPEN TV website if you are located in Greece. Otherwise only with the use of VPN.

Limnios is an average player (always was) and should not be anywhere near the national team. His only talent is his speed. That's how he got by at PAOK. Thankfully we fooled FC Koln that over paid for the player. Now Tzolis is another matter. He should be in the starting lineup.

Mitrita and Sidcley are expected tomorrow in Thessaloniki to complete their transfers. Mitrita - 1 year loan, 500K payment to New York FC, 600K salary Sidclay - 1 year loan, 2 mil buyout option Tsiggaras is refusing to sign a contract extension.

Most likely Covid.

And Lyratzis, Michailidis, Tsiggaras and Koutsias to the U21 NT.

NAME: Chuba AKPOM POSITION: Forward JERSEY NUMBER: 47 BIRTHDAY: 09-October-1995 BIRTH PLACE: Canning Town, England HEIGHT 1.83 m PAOK DEBUT: Benfica – PAOK 1:1 (21.08.2018) NT DEBUT: PREVIOUS TEAMS: Middlesborough, PAOK FC, Sint Truiden, Brighton Albion, Hull City. Nottingham Forest, Coventry City, Arsenal London CONTRACT ENDS: 30-Jun-2022 (1-year loan from Middlesborough) SALARY: € 800,000 (€ 3,000, 000 buyout option)

Akpom officially announced. One year loan. Salary 800K. Buyout option 3 million.

One more goal for Tzolis who makes it 5:0

After the game with Rijeka we can expect a lot of player movement (coming and laving). Some of the rumors: - close to Ferreira Pereira Sidcley (left back) from Dinamo Kiev. PAOK and Kiev came to an agreement for a loan which includes 2 million buyout clause. Sidcley hardly played for Dinamo Kiev, so he makes a perfect transfer target for PAOK. Looks like Lucescu's father Mircea who coached Dinamo Kiev wants to unload the player. - loan of Romanian attacking midfielder Alexandru Mitrita who belongs to New York FC but is loaned to team in Saudi Arabia, so we need them to break the loan for the deal to proceed. - Chuba Akpom is apparently already in Thessaloniki and ready to sign a loan deal. - APOEL wants Warda. Apparently they don't know what they are getting into.

One more proof that Tzolis was saving himself and not giving it all for half a season with PAOK.

When he left PAOK's U19 team to go to Napoli it was because of Pablo Garcia. Don't know the reason though. It was probably due to his playing time.

Tzolis scores in his first game as Norwich player:

I think we will make transfers either way, but the quality of players will be different. Of course all the moves will happen after Thursday. And not only players coming in, but also players leaving the team.

Vrakas does not like Garcia.

And the Norwich coach really let him have it saying that he could not wait until halftime to take him out. He said he waited until then because he did not want to embarrass Giannoulis by pulling him out earlier.

Watched Tsitsipas today against Zverev in the semifinals of the Cincinnati Open. I can now safely proclaim that Tsitsipas nothing but a "loser". He can't mentally finish a match. He needs to hire a psychologist to help him in that aspect of the game if he wants to become and stay in the top 3 of men's tennis.

Atromitos wants him on loan and made a request to PAOK. If we can get rid of Esiti before August 31st than Tsiggaras will probably stay. Otherwise he might be loaned. Also Tsiggaras is refusing so far to sign a contract extension. He did the same thing last season before he agreed to 1 year extension. Would be a shame if he left the team in my opinion.

With the absence of Tzolis we were short one youth player on the squad. Talichmanidis filled that spot.
