Pontos

Fixtures to be announced tonight

With the performances on Pelkas and Charisis, I'm fine with letting Noboa leave, not necessarily replacing him with a player of equal calibre and banking the cash. I'd have these two as part of a midfield 3 with a defensive midfielder behind them. Say Kace is sold and Noboa left, I'd happily shell out the reported 3 million Genoa wanted from Hellas Verona for Tachtsidis to see Pelkas Tachtsidis Charisis. One can dream :D

I think players that transfer to other teams within the same cup competition are only tied for that round they've played in. Example if PAOK sign a player during the group stage who played for another side in the Europa League group stage, then he can't play in the competition unless PAOK progress to the round of 32.

Which players came on in the second half?

Noboa's manager has revealed he wants to return to Russia. He acknowledges his contract with PAOK, so he will see which clubs come forth now willing to pay the transfer fee required to take him back to Russia. With question marks over the future of Lucas, Kace and now Noboa we may be looking at signing more players than we initially planned, could put us back. Positive is that we'd be making a nice profit if any of those players were sold.

Along with the clubs in Italy and Turkey interested in Kace is now Newcastle according to The Sun (take it with a pinch of salt). I really would like to hang onto him for one more year and see him in Tudor's team, unless we receive an offer too good to refuse,

I remember those comments coinciding with the news we'd signed Charisis (unofficially). Pelkas may have felt like he wasn't needed in Thessaloniki and was better off staying in Portugal after a good season there. I read Sporting Lisbon were trying to do backdoor deals with Vitoria Setubal in acquiring Pelkas, that may have been a tempting option. However I think the positivity and faith in Pelkas shown by a new coach would've been enough to boost his morale and have him stay in Thessaloniki. Hoping to here more good news about his development in the future.

Tudor has already spoken with Arnesen about Pelkas' new contract. Good signs

I only really know of Pozoglou and Koulouris in this side who are two of PAOK'S talents I've seen,is Deligiannidis is another amongst our ranks who's highly rated is yet to make his senior debut. Uefa.com said Orfanidis was our player to watch. Just seen he made 1 substitute appearance in the GSL and another in the cup for Xanthi last season. A goal and an assist in a 2-0 win, wears the number 10 and seems to influence the game like a dekari. Anyone able to shed some light on the paixtares in the squad?

Yeah don't know if I can trust another product of South African football after the that disaster Khumalo loan

Second half Melissas, Skondras, Pangouras, Charisis, Savvidis, Kace, Martens, Lucas, and Korovesis all came on. Only Pelkas played the full 90, Tudor apparently likes what he sees with Dimitris.

3-5-2 Glykos Tzavellas Costa Vitor Kitsiou Pelkas Maduro Golasa Mystakidis Pereyra Klaus Klaus has gone to hospital, suspected fractured toe

I believe he is running a football clinic Akritis, looks like he's received a warm welcome from South Melbourne, I saw he was at Melbourne Club Paok signing shirts and having photos taken with fans.

Photo's taken today show team apparel worn by the coaching staff and players were not branded Nike,. As previously mentioned we've pulled out of the +1 year option and signed with Macron. Boxes of Macron apparel have been delivered to the team for preseason

Latest making headlines in regards to transfers, Trabzonspor want Kace and would pay big money to sign him. However the source of this info, a journo in Albania believes Kace would reject a an offer from Turkey in favour of a move to Spain where it is believed he wants to play some day. Hapoel Tel Aviv are interested in Golasa. Italian media have reported that we have enquired about Sampdoria forward Stefano Okaka.

Necid had an injury free season at PEC Zwolle and scored 11 goals in 24 league games. He's just signed a new deal with Bursaspor in Turkey

Under 19's first game in the euro championship against Ukraine next week. We've seen glimpses of Koulouris and Pozoglou who obviously have talent but I'm looking forward to seeing Deligiannidis who we rate highly, perhaps Tselepidis and Vasaitis can get some gametime too.

Do you find it amusing a man who's blood is 100% Nigerian represents Greece in basketball?

Did he inherit his mother's surname.? Was under the impression that Klonaridis, having the idis suffix would possibily mean his father had Pontic roots.

Believed his father to be Greek, and his mother Belgian

What's the process behind getting Sport Plus in Australia? I currently have a dish setup for Foxtel (cable) but I hardly watch it.

Panthessalonikeios Athlitik?s ?milos Scandinavia

Would be nice to see an exhibition game played for charity or something

Did some research, some players were way before my time and were selected on reputation and what I've read. Greatest Greek Pontian XI ________Nikolaidis____Antoniadis________ _____________Tsachoulidis______________ Lazaridis___________________Georgiadis _______________Stoltidis_______________ Iosifidis S.Theodoridis Loukanidis Seitaridis ______________Nikopolidis______________ If you can think of anyone else let me know!

Hahahaha
