Blackhawk

The selections on the NT are usually made by Paul Koutsoliakos. Has been going on for years.

Cyprus is doing us a favor by tying Bosnia, but we don't seem to care.

What a pathetic display by the national team.

In this case I would keep Pouggouras even if we did sign Zambrano.

Yiankos got his wish. Crespo out for at least a month due to a serious injury sustained during practice today.

In his first game with Maccabi Haifa, Klaus scored twice in a friendly game.

Some financial details emerging from our latest moves: Mauricio - 3 year deal, 1.5 mil per season Vierinha - 3-year deal, 1.3 mil per season, we also paid little over 1 mil to Wolfsburg for his release

Apparently Pouggouras is probably not going to Kerkyra. Instead he will be loaned to Rostov. Also Eintracht Frankfurt wants Cimirot on loan basis.

Vierinha will wear number 88.

International game duties for PAOK players this week: UKRAINE NT Shakhov Ukraine will play against Turkey (9/2) and Iceland (9/5) SERBIA NT Prijovic Serbia will play against Moldova (9/2) and Ireland (9/5) BOSNIA NT Cimirot Bosnia will play against Cyprus (8/31) and Gibraltar (9/3) SLOVAKIA NT Mak Slovakia will play against Slovenia (9/1) and England (9/4) GREECE U21 Koulouris, Deligiannidis, Limnios and (Lambrou) The U21 will play against Belarus (9/1) and Moldova (9/4) GREECE U19 Dimitriou The U19 team will play friendly games against Latvia on 9/2 and 9/4

Injured

I think he was faking the injury in order put pressure on Wolfsburg to release him. Hopefully the past couple weeks he was in Thessaloniki were not spent in gyradika.

Also Qarabag will pay his full salary (700K) and apparently also 500K for the loan. I agree pash that it is good that there is no buyout clause with Qarabag. If they really want him after this season the buyout clause is 5 mil.

I think it is 4.2 mil for 3 years

It's official. Virinha to PAOK for 3 years.

Don't know. Maybe translator or welcoming party for Zambrano. Pouggouras is close to being loaned to Kerkyra.

3 hours left to the transfer period and PAOK is going all out. Players present in PAE PAOK offices right now: Mauricio, Vierinha, Henrique, Rey, plus Zambrano travelling to Thessaloniki on a plane. It will be a hot Thursday afternoon.

I don't think Michel is that stupid. By tomorrow we will have Vierinha and/or Hernique.

So in reality it is somewhere in the middle ... Let's settle on 3 mil even though I don't think he is really worth even the 2 mil.

It's 4 mil according to this:

The loaning of Henrique makes sense, and will only happen if Vierinha joins the team. I think his loan has more to do with Mak. Let's not forget that Mak is on loan and it's quite possible we will not pay the 4 mil clause to buy him at the end of the season. If Mak is not with us next season, than Herique just comes back from his loan. The other benefit might be that if he will shine at Quarabag during their CL games his price will go up and we might be able to sell him for a lot more.

I am sorry, but Kitsiou has not shown any improvement ever since he broke into the team. This loan might do him some good. Same for Charisis. From the reports (ie rumors) while at PAOK he was more interested in supporting the local bars in Thessaloniki instead of concentrating on his football career. The loan might do him some good as well. If those two wake up and realize that they need to work hard in order make the starting lineup. Also from what I understand, Kitsiou himself asked to be be loaned or released.

Aiginiakos is the team that qualified to the group stage from the preliminary round eliminating Veroia. They will now join PAOK, Apollon Pontou and levadeiakos in group 2.
