Starting lineup for the game against Atromitos:

Tomorrow's game has been confirmed. Our players all tested negative. The questions is if the Atromitos players are being tested.

Looks like the new PAOK TV will have its debut on August 8 with a screening of Toumba Uncensored. Some details about the PAOK TV upgrades:

Another PAOK TV promo:

All the COVID tests that were performed today turned out negative. The pre-season training will continue as scheduled. It will remain to be seen if the first game that is scheduled for tomorrow will go on.

Rodrigo had to leave the morning practice and did not take part in the afternoon one due to injury. Also the game against Atromitos has been pushed to Friday at 19:30 EEST and will be shown on NOVA.

Atromitos signed a 2-year deal with NOVA for its Superleague home games. Until now their games were broadcast on ERT.

Looks like the pre-season game against Atromitos that was scheduled for this Thursday will be postponed by one day in order to have the latest COVID test results. Apparently the game will be televised by NOVA, which means we are not the home team.

There is a rumor that the single games in CL and EL might be played in neutral venues. Cyprus has been mentioned as one of the possible venues for our CL qualifying game.

It is a player that did not show up for practice at Pilio today. Through some detective work I predict that the 2nd player with COVID is Warda. Chances are good that we will have few more positive cases ahead.

So it's a story that has been propagated by word of mouth by by all kind of people, including non-PAOK fans. The stories about Markiz have been spread around by Libero FM and the lamogio Zagoras. That's why I never believe those stories. I am sure everybody added to the rumor once it was first brought up by the sleaziest of scum that radio personalities are. Who knows Stoch might have been a party animal the first time around, but he showed up for the games and practices. This time around things are surely different as he has family with a kid around.

Official announcement on Mauricio: Liked him as a player, but given his age it's better to get some young blood into the team. This also frees one spot in the foreign based players list.

NAME: Stefan SCHWAB POSITION: Midfield JERSEY NUMBER: 22 BIRTHDAY: 29-September-1990 BIRTH PLACE: Saalfeden, Austria HEIGHT: 1.83 m PAOK DEBUT: NT DEBUT: 14-Nov-2017 (Austria - Uruguay 2:1) PREVIOUS TEAMS: Rapid Vienna, Admira Wacker, FC Lustenau, Red Bull Salzburg, Saalfeldner SK CONTRACT ENDS: 30-Jun-2023 (2+1) SALARY: € 350,000 per season (+15% 2021-2022, +15% 2022-2023, release fee € 200,000 after 2021-2022 season)

To answer my own post. Moulen and PAOK apparently terminated the contract 6 months early in order for the player to move on.

Why would you include Stoch in that group?

New promo for PAOK TV:

It will be ironic if we qualify to the CL groups and and end up playing against the likes of Barcelona, Real, Liverpool, Juventus behind closed doors due to COVID.

Probably already loaned for next season. Let's not forget that yesterday Achilleos Beos was spotted visiting Toumba. Don't see Moulen listed either.

Players that showed up and practiced: Πασχαλάκης, Ζίβκοβιτς, Ρέι, Μελίσσας, Ταλιχμανίδης, Βαρέλα, Διαμαντής, Ίνγκασον, Μιχάι, Μιχαηλίδης, Μάτος, Γιαννούλης, Τσαούσης, Ροντρίγκο, Λημνιός, Τσιγγάρας, Μπαλογιάννης, Βέρνμπλουμ, Ελ Καντουρί, Ντόουγκλας Αουγκούστο, Πέλκας, Χατζηστραβός, Ζαμπά, Τζόλης, Ουάρντα, Μπίσεσβαρ, Στοχ, Άκπομ, Σφιντέρσκι, Κούτσιας Players that took part in individual training due to injuries: Δημήτρης Πέλκας , Ίνγκι Ίνγκασον , Ντόουγκλας Αουγκούστο , Ζήσης Χατζηστραβός Esiti and Crespo had an extra day of vacation and will report to practice tomorrow.

First pre-season training practice took place today. Good news is that Misic took part, which means that he is now part of our roster and that we paid Sporting the buyout option.

Should have sold him last season when the offer was over 4 mil. With a bad season that he had and the fact that six months from now he can leave for free, PAOK does not have much leverage. The right thing to do right now would be to extend his contract and give Akpom assurances that he can leave if he brings in a better deal. For that to happen the player must agree and seeing that Besiktas is basically doubling his salary I don't see that happening.

I think he will join Lucescu in Saudi Arabia for one last fat paycheck. It's no secret that he did not get along with Ferreira. In other current roster news, Lambrou is going on a loan to Twente Enschede, which will also include a buyout option.
