Original Sydney Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Just saw this though http://www.sport-fm.gr/article/podosfairo/etoimos-gia-aek-o-skouletits-an-den-kleisei-o-ntias/3258384
Original Sydney Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 He is coming next season Amo, done deal I have read. This guy seems to have a good scoring record last couple seasons, hope he brings it with him if he does come. Do agree with you on Pekhart he has lifted lately
PAOKSYD Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Same thing happened on transfermsrket eith pirjovic of paok. He was listed then removed until announcement by pae. You see the anouncement made in coming days. 1
Original Sydney Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Well its either him or Diaz coming surely, we shall see in the coming days
PAOKSYD Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Transfermarket is rarely wrong. Lets see http://m.contra.gr/Columns/contra-epithesi/aek/entysan-ton-skouletits-sta-kitrinomayra.4481658.html
Original Sydney Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 I think AEK is waiting on Diaz which has been a long boring saga, if not I can see this guy coming in.
Dikefale11 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Well the whole Diaz fiasco was a waste as he ended up joining some Mexican club.... Our attention has turned to Sergio Araujo, currently plays for La Liga side Las Palmas. He had a good record in the 2nd division scoring 25 goals in 43 games, in La Liga its not as good with 7 goals in 34 appearances. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_Araujo He has stated he wants to join us, but the club president has stated there could be some difficulties. Gremio of Brazil are also interested.
Original 21 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) He's exactly the kind of striker we need. Unlike Pekhart and Almeida, he doesn't need the midfield to create chances for him, and he is useful outside of the box as well. He can create chances on his own; he has good speed, good technical ability, and most importantly, he is only 24 years old. We offered to take him on loan for 18 months and a buyout option at the end of it, he wants to come, and according to all reports, all that is left is for Las Palmas to finalize the signing of his replacement. Hopefully that aren't wrong, and Melissanidis actually gives some money. He had fallen out with Las Palmas a few days ago after he was seen drinking. He also had a DUI in Septemeber, so this would be his last chance to save his career. That also means that he's in shape to play since he hasn't been off for a long time. Hopefully he comes determined to prove himself because he can potentially be the best player in the Super League, assuming he stays away from alcohol. We have one week to complete the Araujo signing, but we also need at least one more signing. This team really needs a left back that has similar skills as Galo. Didac last year was a good defender, but this year his defensive performances have dipped. At the same time, he is horrible in attack and is a waste of space. He can stay on as a backup, but if we replace him with someone like Galo then we become instantly better as a team, plus Almeida and Pekhart will become more significant because we would have another player that can play a good cross into them, and exploit their skill set. We also need another winger for depth, but with re-emergence of Vargas and the improvement of Lazaros, it's not a huge priority, it would just be nice to have. Ideally, we bring back Barbosa, he would actually be perfect for this team off of the bench to provide a spark with his speed, plus, he knows the team and can score.

Original Sydney Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Although I think this kid can be good for us I wont hold my breath, Diaz said the same things about wanting to come if we believe reports. Las Palmas president said Araujo will be leaving by end of the week also but they need to find a replacement. I will wait until I see him in Athens before I get excited. I do agree that we need another LB also, Didac has been terrible this season. Edited January 24, 2017 by Original Sydney
Original Sydney Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) http://www.aek365.com/a-501435/epishmo-o-araouxo-paei-sthn-aek.htm Seems he is going to Athens today, one person has claimed. Edited January 24, 2017 by Original Sydney
Original 21 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Early reports say he will be with us on loan for 18 months and there is a buyout clause at the end of it to make the deal permanent. We are paying him 1.2 Million euros over the next year and a half, and a small loan fee to Las Palmas. Unless something ridiculous happens, we have just gotten a great player.
Dikefale11 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Should be done by thursday according to reports.

As long as he finds his way out of the bottle.
Original 21 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Barbosa has informed AEK that he wants to come back, if Manolo agrees to his return we should 100% sign him.
Original 21 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Las Palmas officially announced the 18 month loan of Sergio Araujo to us. By far the biggest signing we've made in a very long time, he was a starter in La Liga and is only 24 years old. If he does half of what he's capable of on the field, we can save our season easily.
Dikefale11 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Word on the street is he should be arriving in Athens later on this evening at around 17:50. We may be looking at Lazio Brazilian left back 'Vinícius'.
Original Sydney Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Great to see this didn't drag on like other players we have chased, now for him to get prepared and show us what he can do. Seems he can score goals from everywhere so hopefully he turns out to be that missing link up front that we have been needing for a long while. Welcome Sergio!!!!!!!
Dikefale11 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Looks like the Vinicius transfer is going through, will sign a 3 and a half year contract, with Lazio having 20% sale clause. However good he is he must be better than Didac. He seems decent enough;
Original 21 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Don't expect him to start or play any time soon, he hasn't played a professional game since May when he was on loan to a team in Switzerland, that team was relegated as well. Either way, Didac has gotten much better under Jimenez which is a good sign. Hopefully Vinicius can prove to be good, but I'm not expecting really anything out of him until next season.
Rockafeller Skank Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Can someone inform me which players are worth watching from AEK. Which ones can actually give it a push for Champions League?
Dava-G Posted August 19, 2017 Posted August 19, 2017 We need a striker. No way we will do anything in Europe without one. I Greece we may be able to get by with the little quality that we have. But no titlerun.
