Matos as usual

Exactly why he should not have started. Kerkyra very dangerous on counters.

Apparently Koulouris will star as forward ahead of Prijovic. What is Lucescu smoking?

Could be a pressure tactic to push the Moledo deal along.

Well yes, their reason to introduce this is to replace the playoffs and keep NOVA happy since they want their money.And on top of that they do it half assed.

If done properly it could be useful competition. It could serve as team preparation at the beginning of the season and also give playing time to second string players throughout the season However the way they decided to do it is stupid. Like always, no planning at all. They basically decided that at the end of this season (end of April) they will have this League Cup competition.

Teams qualifying to the quartefinal: PAOKAtromitosOlympiakosAEKPanioniosAE LarisaPAS LamiaPAS Giannina Who do we want in Monday's draw? I would take Larisa or Lamia and hope for a Panionios - AEK/Olympikoas, Atromitos - AEK/Olympiakos or Olympiakos AEK matchups.

Teams that qualified to the quarterfinal: PAOK Atromitos Olympiakos AEK Panionios Larisa Lamia Giannina Draw is on Monday.

Marcio Gonzaga de Azevedo signed to a 6-month loan. His jersey number will be 30. We will pay 50% of his Shakhtar Donetsk salary. His contract with Shakhtar ends in June 2018, so if we like him we can sign him for free at that time.

Moledo will most likely be announced tomorrow. We will pay 300K to Panathinaikos. Kace and Konstantinidis to be loaned as well with their salaries to be paid by PAOK. Final details will be announced tomorrow. Rumors are that Panathinaikos asked as part of negotiations for Moledo not to play in our game against them at Leoforos in Round 29 of Superleague. I have not heard of Mystakidis being involved. I know that Panathinaikos really wanted Koulouris. I would not mind Mystakidis being loaned so he could get in shape both physically and mentally and be ready for the 2018-19 season.

Apparently the Moledo deal is a 6-month loan. We will pay Panathinaikos 500K. No other players involved. This is done this way in order to keep Internacional from getting their 25% portion. We also giving Panathinaikos a lifeline so they don't declare bankruptcy right now. The risk is that if Moledo decides to go to Brazil in July and will not give his all in the few months that he is with us. Michel is staying over night in Athens in order to talk to Moledo tomorrow to complete the deal. We have apparently also declined two offers from Rennais for Prijovic. First was for 2.5 mil and the second for 3.5 mil. PAOK is looking for around 5 mil despite the fact that the player has a 10 mil buyout option. All this of course could be media BS. Another rumor is that Stuttgart is checking out Pelkas.

And now apparently Levante is interested in Prijovic as well according to Spanish media rumors. PAOK will most likely announce the signing of Azavedo tomorrow. The deal is a 6-month loan.

According to Serbian media report PAOK has accepted a 4.5 mil Euro offer from Stade Rennais for Prijovic. Another report says that Prijovic himself is not happy by the salary offer from Rennais. No official mentions from PAE PAOK on the matter.

Prijo 2;1

Penalty!

Quite sloppy in the last 10 minutes resulting in the tying goal.

All the work done by Biseswar. Prijo reaps the benefits.

Prijo goal.

prijovic almost with a header.

Good try by our top scorer in the cup, Shakhov.

0:0 halftime. Appears to be a nice training session for the team.

Mysta is probably not ready to play a full 90 minute game yet. I am sure we'll see him in the 2nd half.

I am surprised about Prijovic myself. I just hope that does not mean Koulouris starts on Sunday. Interesting to see Pouggouras as RB too.
