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.

My order of preference: Rapid Besiktas Viktoria The good thing is we avoid a Dutch team. The GR/TK matchup was a rumor on some British site which only mentioned Trabzonspor. Until we hear something official from UEFA nothing is a sure thing.

It's official. Trabzonspor lost their appeal at CAS. This means that our possible opponents are Vktoria Plzen Besiktas Istanbul Rapid Vienna

Lecce won and is one point behind in the relegation race with one game remaining. In other news, Sky Sports reports that PAOK and Besiktas came to an agreement for Akpom. Selling price is reported at 2.5 mil Euro with PAOK retaining resale option. Also it needs to be pointed out that Arsenal has a certain percentage from the selling price..

Rumors are that he is also waiting to see if Lecce will be relegated in Italy before deciding. His wife is Italian. However it was also mentioned that his brother who took part in the negotiations is a good friend with Rebbe.

Looks like the Stefan Schwab transfer is almost a done deal. He due in Thessaloniki on Thursday for a physical and contract talks. The apparent deal is for 2+1 contract.

8 mil would be very good. I think he had quite poor playoffs which probably did not help much in getting a better deal. On the other hand Mihaj played well and allegedly German teams are watching him.

Apparently he did a very good job at Sparta Prague.

Sadly the few chances he got this season he did not show us much. Not surprised that he is being loaned again.

I agree with this statement. We should also take into account that this will only be one game and we don't if it is going to be a home or away game. We don't really know what shape the teams involved will be at the end of August.

Superleague voted to stay with 14 teams. EPO might have other ideas. Xanthi and Apollon Smyrni still have to play for the second SL spot. Both teams have no players.

Grbic might be our new goalie coach wish, but apparently it won't happen now according to Georgie.

From what I read they discovered a tumor in his bladder during a checkup for an unrelated issue. They removed the tumor and now he is doing chemotherapy. Obviously his therapy must be going well since they are proceeding with the transfer.

Apparently the Olympiakos camp want to retain the current 14-team/Playoffs format, while the AEK/Panathinaikos/PAOK camp want to proceed with some kind of restructuring for at least one season and then return back to the 14-team format.

Makes you a member of a Kenyan fighter's tribe. Let's not offend our African friends. As for Misic I think it's the same deal we made with Sporting, except that we will pay 1 mil now and 1 mil when he is healthy to return back to play. The original agreement was for 100% of his rights. Of course we are running the risk of losing 1 mil if his chemotherapy is not successful and his cancer spreads. Most likely his treatment is going well, otherwise I don't think PAOK would proceed with this proposed arrangement.

The clear out (If there is going to be any) will happen after the CL/EL qualifiers. Before our first CL qualifying game we might drop maybe one or two players and sign one or two. As for our chances, I think this year is our best chance.

Superleague will discuss on Monday the proposed format change for the upcoming Superleague season. The leading proposal is to go for an 18-team league. This would mean nobody will be relegated and 4 teams from Superleague 2 will be promoted. Along with this year's Greek Cup final, this is another good joke concerning Greek football.

Looks like Lucescu is trying to steal Vieirinha from PAOK. As fo Limnios I would sell him in a heart beat. Don't think he has anything more to offer.

I think it's August 3rd.
