In the other games Panionios - Lamia 1:0 Olympiakos - AEK 0:0, with Olympiakos dominating the game. AEK played poorly. There should have been several red cards in the game.

Aete I hope Koulouris scores a couple of goals, but in a game where you want to score goals, you need to start your best forward.

Apparently Lucescu is planning on using this lineup: -------------------- Paschalakis ------------------ Matos -- Varela -- Malezas -- Vieirinha --------- Cimirot ------------- Shakhov -------- Limnios ----------- Pelkas ------------- Mak ------------------- Koulouris ----------------------- This experiment with Koulouris has to end. Also we desperately need to find a player to give Matos a break. The sooner it happens, the better.

Don't think Michel went to see him, since he traveled to Ukraine, and the player is with his team in Spain. He might have gone there to talk to his agent though. Strangely it's George Savvidis who is allegedly vacationing in the same city in Spain where Dinamo Kiev is holding their training sessions.

The Greek delegation in the Pyongchyang Winter Olypics will consist of 4 athletes: ALPINE SKIING Ioannis Antoniou (EOS Karpenisi) Sofia Ralli (EOS Naousa) CROSS COUNTRY SKIING Apostolis Aggelis (EOS Metsovo) Maria Danou (EOS Naousa)

The Pontian from Dynamo Kiev, Yevhen Khacheridi sustained a serious injury in a friendly game today. Looks like torn ligaments from the video. We can forget about him for now.

Squad for tomorrow's game: Πασχαλάκης, Σιαμπάνης, Μάτος, Μαλεζάς, Κρέσπο, Βαρέλα, Κάνιας, Σάκχοφ, Τσίμιροτ, Πέλκας, Ελ Καντουρί, Αζεβέδο, Βιεϊρίνια, Κάμπος, Μακ, Λημνιός, Πρίγιοβιτς, Κουλούρης No Biseswar, Mauricio, Mystakidis, Rey or Deligiannidis, however Azevedo is in and might see some playing time if the scoreline helps. Apparently Lucescu is planning on starting Koulouris instead of Prijovic again.

Nice goal

And that should have been 4:0 by Pelkas

That should have been 3:0 by Pelkas

2:0 own goal

Nice pass by Prijo

79 % posesion for PAOK

We are looking at a parked double decker bus. Early goal would help us.

Lucescu will probably use the same lineup as in Kerkyra, except he will start Prijovic instead of Koulouris and possibly end the Limnios experiment.

Zambrano is still on the roster, but is probably having some good time in Peru. He was supposedly trying to find a team in Germany to take him on, but why worry when two teams are covering your salary.

Win without conceding a goal should be our goal even if it is just 1:0. I think we can eliminate them. Won't be easy though.

Best news I heard this morning. Michai is not a replacement for Moledo. He is future prospect investment, just like Limnios was last season. If we do get a CB it's going to be somebody else. On the negative side, they are still talking about loaning Kace, Konstantinidis and Mystakidis to Panathinaikos. Hope that's not the case, specially if we are going to pay for their salaries. The other thing that is not happening this transfer period is getting rid of the dead wood on the team: Brkic, Leovac, Zambrano, etc. Also there is a rumor and/or fake news that PAOK has received a 7 mil offer from a German team for Pelkas. His buyout option is 7 mil BTW.

It's even better now for GX. There are two positions he can choose to take over. Coach and TD. Also with GX back in the fold, Kolkas now has access (again) to the dressing room of PAOK.

Sometimes I just don't understand the people running PAOK. Once again we were burned during a transfer period. We are now begging the player to come to us. Instead of issuing an ultimatum to him to give his final answer we have Michel making daily emergency trips to Athens to beg him. I think we are now at the point where Savvidis does not want to back down so the Moledo issue would not be presented as a defeat by PAOK in Athenian press. Specially if he ends up at Olympiakos. The bad thing is that we had a much better CB on our roster than Moledo in Zambrano, but for some weird reason we kicked him out of the team.

In that case unless Rennais pays the 10mil buyout option the player can't go anywhere. He can't sign with anybody unless he is in his last 6 months of his contract with PAOK. The more I think about the Moledo deal the more I want it to fail. Specially if all this is just for a 6-month loan. I would not mind Mystakidis going on a loan for the rest of this season. He will hardly get any playing time at PAOK. He needs games to get into shape both physically and mentally.

The latest with Moledo is that the player agreed with PAOK and is ready to travel to Toumba to sign the contract. PAOK will pay PAO somewhere between 290 - 400K (depending on which fake news site you believe) . Some of that money will also go to Moledo who is owed around 140K by Panathinaikos in back wages. Kace and Kosntantinidis will be loaned to PAO with PAOK paying their wages for the rest of the season, but there appear to be some final details that need to be ironed out. Panathinaikos also asked for Mystakidis loan as part of the deal. Apparently PAOK told all involved that the deal needs to be completed by Thursday or they will withdraw their interest in Moledo. I am sure we have not heard the latest in this soap opera.

According to the French news reports (or fake news) Prijovic has already agreed with Rennais at a salary of 2.5 mil. If that is the case and we believe PAE PAOK that he is not for sale, then the French teams and the player broke FIFA rules, since he is under contract until 2021.
