5:0 final score. Makes the return leg so much easier.

Missed a wide open net. That's why he will not amount to anything.

Same here. At least we have Mao Mao as an option.

Unbelievable.

Good job by the youngster.

Looks like Tzolis will get a hattrick today.

- Apollon Limassol will pay 30% of Biseswar contract for the remainder of the season. Apparently there is a buyout clause but it has not leaked out yet,. - Esiti will be loaned out for the rest of the season to Goetzepe for 250K with buyout option of 2.5 mil. - Colak is trying to be loaned out to some German B' Division team. there is also some interest from Croatia, but I think it will all depend on if Swiderski stays or leaves - Gimnasia La Plata showed interest in Rey, but they are hoping to get him for free. - Apparently we told Volos to be on standby for an offer for Ferrari and Douvikas depending on Swiderski transfer.

Most likely a trick by Rebbe to get the best possible price for swiderski.

We shouldn't really have a problem with Larisa. They are the worst team in SL in my opinion. However we said that about them last time we played them and we remember what happened. Hoping for an easy 3:0 win.

Polish fake news are reporting that Bologna has offered 6 mil for Swiderski, while PAOK demands 7 and that we are very close to closing the deal. Biseswar is close to Apollon Limassol. They are willing to pay 200K for the rest of the season. Esiti will most likely sign with Goetzepe on Thursday.

Interesting article about new Toumba stadium: https://archistadia.it/paok-nuovo-stadio-progetto/

Missed watching all the action in the 2nd half. Saw the first half on my cell phone while eating breakfast in a restaurant in Pittsburgh. Listened to the 2nd half driving home. It was an enjoyable drive as the team won easily. Great to see all the youngsters getting playing time.

The sad thing is that Emmanoulidis's mother passed away just last week.

Always rubbed me the wrong way as far as his reporting goes.

El Kaddouri, Zivkovic, Ingason to miss this game due to cards. Also possibly not travelling to Crete are Esiti and Augusto.

The 1 mil is for the 6 month loan and 7.5 mil + 20% resale if they buy him in the summer. Do we know for sure that the purchase is specifically dependent on Norwich getting promoted to Premier League, or will they need to renegotiate a new deal with PAOK if they don't. I am saying that because there is rumor that if Norwich does not buy him in the summer, Giannoulis automatically extends his contract with PAOK until June 2023. In other news the lamogio Toskitsis reports at Sportime.gr that Michailidis will move out from PAOK the same way (loan + purchase option) later this month.

Which is not bad of a deal at all considering the current situation. PAOK did not have much leverage shopping the player. The bad thing is that Giannoulis did not want to cooperate with the team so we could get a better deal when he refused to extend his contract last summer. That's Paul Koutsioliakos for you. He pulled the same stunt with Pelkas. I guess PAOK management will never learn to stay away from this agent. he screwed us on several occasions. Also it was also evident that the player did not want to be on the team anymore considering his performance in the last few games. That's why getting 8.5 mil is not such a bad deal, and is fairly close to the buyout clause in his contract (10 mil). After Prijovic it will be our best sale in history.

Looks like the Giannoulis sale is a done deal. Norwich wanted to loan him for 500K for the rest of the season with a 7.5 mil purchase option if they get promoted to Premier League. PAOK is demanded an outright sale. Apparently the two teams worked out their differences. Looks like Sunday's game will be Giannoulis's last game for PAOK. At the same time PAOK is looking for LB with Stafylidis and Ferrari of Volos as replacements. In other Fake/real news and rumors: - Augusto does not have the flu as reported. He's playing sick after asking the team that he wants to move to another team. Reports are that he wants to join Ferreira in Palmeiras. - Esiti's loan to Turkey is still apparently on and being worked on - We are still shopping Colak around, but looks like nobody is biting. - Apparently the team received a 4 mil offer for Swiderski, but I place this rumor way beyond Trump's Fake News definition

Much improvement in the 2nd half. We deserved the win since Olympiakos did not create a single chance in the 2nd half and we should have been able to hold on to the 1 goal lead. Big blame goes to Paschalakis on the goal. I would hope Zivkovic gets the start in the next game. MVP of the game Warda in my opinion. Too bad the Tzolis shot did not go in.
