Sidclay officially announced. 2,000,000 buyout clause. Mitrita is next. Probably will be announced tomorrow. Apparently we are also looking at one more transfer. Most likely a "dekari". Warda is close to signing a 2-year deal with Anorthosis. Apparently to get him out of our hands we are willing to pay him to break the contract with us. Looks like nobody is willing to make an offer for him.

PAOK can win this group, but I would not be surprised if we finish 3rd if we don't take the game seriously. I think the group winner will be decided in the two games against Copenhagen. Slovan can do damage if we are not careful.

El Kaddouri was our best player in the match. Too bad he is injured again.

Copenhagen has a fairly decent team and won't be easy. Our goal should be to finish first so we can qualify directly to the Round of 16. Second place means we will need to play an extra round with the 3rd place teams from the Europa League group stage in order to make it to the Round of 16.

Draw results: GROUP F FC Copenhagen (Denmark) PAOK FC (Greece) SK Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia) Lincoln Red Imps FC (Gibraltar) Not bad at all.

Give me Slavia Prague and Krmencik, Flora Tallin and Lincoln Red Imps

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.
