    Which does not mean they'll stick around; but at least this time we should have enough fullbacks that Balogiannis won't be playing in the wrong position.

    Charisis is under contract for one more season as well, though I am aware that Lucescu isn't gonna keep him around.

    Charisis just signed with Atromitos...not sure the terms 

  2. So as of right now we have (correct me if Im wrong):

     

    ---------------------------------------------------------Akpom/Swiderski--------------------------------------------------------

    Lambrou/Henrique---------------------------Biseswar/Pelkas-----------------------------------Limnios/Jaba

    ----------------------------------------------Mauricio/Misic----------Wernbloom/Canas--------------------------------

    Giannoulis/Vieirinha-----------Ingason/Crespo---------Varella----------------------------------Matos/Soares

    -------------------------------------------------------------------Paschalakis------------------------------------------------------------

     

    As far as necessities I'd say we need another CB, 2 midfielders (of top quality) and dump Misic and Canas (Sale or Loadns),  A striker, but only if he's of top quality, and that's it really.  Maybe another winger but, again, only if it's a top quality that much better than who we currently have.

  3. PAOK TV just released the highlight reel for Lambrou.... The kid is GOOD.  He plays LW, but can also play on the right.  He has speed, dribble, a great header and good crosses.  I think him and Jaba with Akpom up front and Biseswar or Pelkas in the 10 position are gonna terrorize defenses next season.  If we DO get 2 top shelf midfielders I think we'll be in really good shape.

    Hopefully Mauricio is in good form next season, and it seems Wernbloom is on the fast track back, but with his age and type of injury, I wouldn't count on his finishing a season without significant time lost to re-injuries.  We need 2 BAM quality signings at midfield.

  4. I think Giannouli's showed great potential, and knowing he's most likely to start,  he can get heavy reps in pre season.  Also, let's not forget Ingason....he's a solid player I think and again, with a full preseason workout he can easily slide into a starting postion and move Crespo over to LB which has been done numerous times.  If we have 3 solid midfielders, it may take some of the pressure off the LB position from being too involved offensively.  Also, I thing I read that our new signing Soares has played LB in addition to his traditional RB position.  These are all things that will be worked out in training.

  5. Oliveira didn't show anything to justify the price tag.  I think Players like Sakhov and Canas should be deep bench players if we want to improve our quality.  Misic and Wernbloom we barely even saw anything from them due to injury and the fact that Oliveira came in so there were so many options.  I wouldn't be going into any European games with great confidence with our current squad.  We need improvements and fast.  Varella earned his name BEAST in the LEague, but in European games against quality competition he was anything but.   I think Ingasson will surprise us this year as well.  Koulouris proved he can be a killer in the league/cup matches but lets not forget that he is a Prijo style player where the entire team has to work for him to get goals....unlike Akpom and even Swidersi, to a degree, who has a much better dribble/control/awareness on the pitch.  We need a RB of European caliber, Matos is just not it anymore.  He was a great player and can still contribute a lot in the League, but he's not cut out for CL of EL matches anymore.  Jaba shows signs of greatness early on in the season but quickly fizzled out in the 2nd half.

  6. I think you're taking it too literal.  What's wrong with a team wanting to be the dominating force in it's city?  I don't know many PAOK fans who would want Aris and Iraklis to not exist.  It's beneficial for us to have them, and other teams in the North.  I always believed that having Aris and Iraklis being competitive in the league is crucial for the League's sake....even more so than teams like Atromitos, Panionios and Asteras who are just over flooding the market in the Athens.  We need teams like Kavala, Doxa Dramas, Panserraikos to be equally as competetive, to even out the league.
