  1. The squad is definitely too big.

     

    People who have left/leaving:

    Rat

    Lucas

    Golasa

    Noboa

    Pereyra

     

     

    People who I think will leave:

    Maduro

    Salpi

     

    People who I think will go out on loan:

    Pozoglou

    Qose

    Koulouris

    Savvidis

     

     

    People who I think need to leave:

    Tzavellas

    Tziolis

     

    I think Salpi will stay and eventually be forced to retire. I doubt there is a team  that would want him. Maduro will probably go, and Tziolis will stay as a backup. I don't see Tzavellas going anywhere either. I still think Kace will be sold, but it all depends if PAOK extends his contract right now. Kace is free to negotiate with any team in December, so we need to sign a contract extension in order to get the best price for him.

     

    As for the cup pash  think it's still the stupid format from last season.

     

    Concerning Stoch. He might want to come, but he is still a property of Fenerbahce, and I don't think he will be released. More likely another loan deal, but I don't think that would be in PAOK's best interests.

  2. Looks like the Antonis signing is a done deal. PAOK will pay Sydney 500K. PAOK also told Antonis that he is guaranteed to be on the team until January 2016 in order to prove himself. His contract is set at 200K per season.

     

    The Toivonen rumor has also re-surfaced again. Would be a good signing in my opinion.

  3.  

    The most annoying thing is your teams throws players out that are actually pretty good. Maduro, Pereyra, Loukas, Noboa... For what ever reason ... it's a shame.

     

     

    Even if all those players are good as you say, but if they have no intentions of performing for you and in some cases the only reason the came to Thessaloniki is to go bar hopping, than there is no reason to keep them around. That's why all these new young players that are coming to the team are hungry and ready to prove themselves will perform much better than some of those primadonas. Arnesen has started the re-building process, and the results will not be instant. It will take couple years for the team to become a great team. I only hope the fans and Savvidis have the patience for the team to be built.

  4. PAOK.jpgvsBrondby.jpg

     

    MATCHUP:          P.A.O.K. Thessaloniki - Brondby IF

    COMPETITION:   Europa League - Playoff Round - Leg 1 

    DATE:                    20-August-2015

    TIME:                    20:00 GR  (17:00 GMT, 12:00 CDT, 03:00 AEST next day)

    CITY/STADIUM:  Thessaloniki - Toumba Stadium (28,703)

    REFEREES:            Alberto Undiano Mallecano - Roberto Diaz Perez Del Palomar, Juan Carlos Yuste Jimenez (All Spain)

    TELEVISION:        Nova Sports 2 (Greece), Canal 9 (Denmark), LAOLA.TV (web stream)

     

    The last obstacle before reaching the Europa League group stage is the Danish side Brondby IF. They are a much stronger side than the previous two teams we faced in the competition so far, but they have not been doing very well in their domestic league. They also barely qualified over Omonia. PAOK players will need to be focused in order to achieve the qualification. This first game at Toumba will be the key to our success. For starters we need to stop them from scoring and then convert one some of the chances that we create (are you listening Mak?)  This is only the second time we will face a Danish side in Europe. The first time was in 1977 in the Cup Winners Cup against Vejle BK  (2:1 at home and 0:3 in Denmark)
  5. After 3 months, Superleague certified last seasons standings, which after the Kerkyra punishments means that Levadeiakos will stay in the Superleague and will not be relegated. If the standings were certified shortly after the conclusion of the Superleague, the according to league rules, the 3rd team from the Football League would have been promoted, and Levadeiakos would never be allowed to stay in the Superleague. It is certain that this was the reason why the final standings were not certified sooner.

  6. PAOK's Women team is currently playing in UEFA's Champions League qualification round, which being played in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

  7. From what I understand, Arnesen has been talking to Cimirot's team for a while now. At one point in the negotiating process they were close to a deal. At that point several managers got involved and the price skyrocketed to 1.4 million. That's when PAOK ended negotiating and announced that they re no longer interested.

     

    Yesterday, the FK Sarajevo owner came to Athens to negoatiate with Atromitos concerning another player, and he invited Arnesen for talks concerning Cimirot. That meeting has finished about an hour ago and according to a report on Metropolis radio a deal is very possible. PAOK is offering 1 million (500K now, and 500K in installemnts), plus a percentage to Sarajevo for resale of the player.

     

    Also reported is that PAOK is thinking of signing Antonis as well and then loaning him to Veroia.

     

    I think the bricklayer rumor is just that, a rumor. I don't see that transfer happening.

  8. The other reason why Rats/Golasa/Pereyra are on the list because the team has the option to replace on e player on the list 24 hours before the first game. Obviously if they decide to replace somebody, it would be for a players that is not in the plans. There is also the remote chance that any of those 3 will be asked to rejoin the team, but that's very unlikely.

  9. The 'B' list is comprised of players from the teams academy. I believe it's some kind of UEFA requirement. As you can see there are players on that list that are not even on the team right now.

     

    As for the Golasa/Pereyra/Rat is concerned. I can only think it's a strategic move by PAOK in case those players want to go to FIFA concerning their contracts.

  10. According to rumors, we will sign two more players, and both are apparently higher caliber players that from what we go so far. One of them is supposed to be a center back. We shall see.

     

    I also think that few more players will be leaving the team. One of them will most likely be Maduro, and would not be surprised if the other one is Salpi.

  11. Right now the international rights are under negotiations. On Wednesday Superleague will decide if the international rights will be awarded to Forthnet (owners of Nova sports). The other bidder was TAF Sports, who held the rights in the past, but it appears that all the Superleague teams except PAOK are leaning towards Forthnet. We will know more on Wednesday.

     

    Now what does it really mean as far as the coverage in USA/Canada/Australia? My speculation is that if Forthnet gets the rights, all the games, except for PAOK's home games (unless PAOK changes their stance), will end up on Sport Plus. I base this on the fact that last season Sport Plus carried a lot of Nova Sports programming. If that happens, I would have to conclude that Antenna will  no longer be showing Superleague games.

     

    As usual the situation will be cleared at the last possible moment.

  12. There is change in Blackhawks list of possible opponents.

    Guimaraes of Portugal just lost to Austrian Altach.

    As Guimaraes would have been seeded their place will be taken over by the highest not seeded team, in this case another Portuguese team: Belenenses.  

     

    SCR Altach has a coefficient of 5.135

     

    I think there will be two groups of seeded and unseeded teams of 5 and two groups of 6. Tomorrow we will now.

     

    Yes, Altach suprised Guimaraes. 

     

    The draw will take place at 13:00 CET. Here is the final list of possible opponents:

     

    Rosenborg Trodheim NOR   11.875

    Qarabag Agdam         AZE   11.500

    Hajduk Split                CRO  11.200

    HJK Helsinki               FIN    11.140

    Atromitos Athens       GRE   10.880

    Zorya Luhansk           UKR   10.533

    Molde FK                    NOR   10.375

    FC Thun                     SWI     10.375

    Astra Giurgiu              ROM    9.759

    FK Jablonec               CZE     9.325

    Dinamo Minsk            BEL      9.135

    MSK Zilina                 SVK     8.750

    FC Midtjylland            DEN     7.960

    Videoton Fehervar     HUN     7.950

    Brondby IF                 DEN     7.460

    Vojvodina Novi Sad   SER     6.275

    SCR Altach                AUT     5.135

    Rabotnicki Skopje      FYR    4.675

    Milsami Orhei             MDA   3.750

    Odds BK                    DEN    2.875

    Gabala FK                  AZB    2.750

    FC Kairat Almaty        KAZ    2.575

     
    Prior to the main draw the teams will be split up into four groups. Two groups of 10 teams (5 seeded/5 unseeded) and two groups of 12 teams (6 seeded/6 unseeded). A team will be drawn only with a team from the same group.
     
    Teams I would like to avoid are Rosenborg, Molde, Jablonec, Brondby and maybe Zorya Luhansk. I would also not like to travel to Azerbaijan or Kazakhstan, although both teams should be easy to beat. 
     
    I think we will end up with Hajduk Split or Dinamo Minsk.
