Original Sydney Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I was just saying on the PAO forum if they want back up for Simeos and Johanssen go get Kourbelis, more than capable as cover and a quality player who can play CB also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original 21 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Given the way Ketsbaia likes to play, I think we've seen the last of Vargas, Buononotte, and Cordero. They don't fit his style of tough play. Also, looks like Baroja is gone. Barojas from Atromitos, and Loria that used to play for OFI are the two options we are trying to get to replace him. Barkas is a stud, he will be the best goalkeeper in Greece in a few years, we need to sign him ASAP. Ketsbaia also likes Vellios for striker position which would be great for us if we sign him. Carlos Carlao, a Brazilian CB from APOEL is on his list, as is Milan Duric, a 2 meter tall Bosnian striker that scored 8 goals for Cesena in Serie B this year.

Dikefale11 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Milan Djiric scored 2 today for Bosnia vs Japan. His record speaks for itself, shite. 20 goals in 130+ appearances for Cesena, 8 goals is the highest tally in a season in his career. Im glad Baroja is going, he was good but nothing special and I feel Anestis is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Sydney Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 There was an article that said 5 new faces will be coming in which if true would be a good thing, I just hope those 5 players cover where we lack, a GK, CB, Winger and a ST are a MUST!!! I would even go for 2 CB or 2 Wingers just so we have that depth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEKAlex Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Anyone familiar with Georgi Loria from his time in Greece? Supposedly hes likely to sign for us.. http://www.aek365.com/a-462694/sthn-aek-o-loria.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original 21 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Chrisantus and Baroja are gone. Arzo, Soiledis, Buononotte, and Cordero hopefully are next. I wouldn't be surprised if Vargas, and Djebour left too. Loria is close to being signed for the Goalkeeper spot, he's an upgrade over both Anestis and Baroja, but he's not good enough IMO for a team trying to qualify for the Europa league group stages. At this point if we are only going to sign average players that won't get us into Europe, we might as well sign young Greek players that are decent but have a lot more potential. My hope for this offseason if they weren't going to sign paixtarades was to sign: ?Barkas to split time with Anestis. ?Risvanis to backup Kolovetsios, and play about 15-20 games in all competitions. ?A good experienced centerback to teach Kolovetsios and Risvanis. ? Kourbelis and Siopis to backup our defensive midfielders. ? Stafylidis on loan with an option to buy to share the spot with Didac. ?Bakasetas who is signed already. ?Vellios to be our number one striker. ?A winger just as good as Barbosa. We would have built our team for the next decade, improved our team for the upcoming season, but it would have cost a ton to sign these guys. Signing a few of them will help, I'm still holding out hope for Vellios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original 21 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 And all of a sudden we've reached a deal with Atromitos to sign Barkas, Let's see what happens in the end, I'm not sure what we will do with Loria, Anestis, and Barkas. Unless they have Loria on "stand by" just in case we don't get Barkas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original 21 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 700k and a percentage of the next sale to Atromitos for Barkas, just when I doubt him, Melissanidis spends the cash, I hope he continues and brings in Vellios. Loria's deal is on hold and it depends on Barkas, if Barkas is willing to stay on loan at Atromitos for a year then we will sign Loria. If he wants to come right away then Loria won't be signed. We are off to a much better start this offseason than last year, assuming we do sign Barkas of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original 21 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) . It wouldn't cost too much money to sign those players. Panionios usually sells for 400k, vellios would probably be the most expensive player tbh. After the Bakasetas or deal Panionios won't be selling us any players unless we pay the full release clause on their contracts. Barkas himself cost us 700k, the transfer values of Greek players is very inflated right now. Edited June 9, 2016 by Original 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Sydney Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Some good options for keeper now with these 2 guys, good way to start the new season, Anestis and Baroja can be good on their day but they can also have a master degree in stupidity at times also, one will leave surely. Lets see who we go for next we need an experienced CB first then worry about the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Sydney Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Talk again of us going for Chygrynskiy from Dnipro, would be a good option and an upgrade from Arzo, he has experience and that's what we are lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original 21 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Meh. 50 games played in the last 5 years is nothing impressive even if he played at Barcelona for a year. He'd be an upgrade over Arzo for sure but not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Sydney Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 That's my point he's an upgrade for sure and since no other names have been thrown around (yet) this guy wouldn't be the worst option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEKAlex Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Not a bad signing at all. Curious though what's gonna happen with our goalkeeper situtation, do they plan on going for a foreign keeper as well or is Barkas in the plans to be the starter?

Dikefale11 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Anestis ans Barkas will be the 2 GK and they will provide competition for eachother and fight for the #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original 21 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Vellios also most likely going to Nottingham Forest for 1.2 million euros. We were interested in him, but that's a ton of money for a player that's only scored like 20 goals since 2009. We can find someone better for less money.

PAOKSYD Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Imo aek has started well in the transfer season. AEK need 4 more decent signings but a good upward trend for you guys and making the league much tougher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dikefale11 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I think Chygrynskiy is a great buy, you dont get signed by Barcelona for 25 mil without there being a reason behind it, sure the move was a fail but the talent is there. He is at his prime age, a perfect height for a CB and is definitely a step up to what we have in Arzo x10. Greece is not very attractive at the moment, so we cant attract a lot of players, i think we have struck gold with Chygrynskiy. Shame about Vellios, he can go to Nottingham Forrest and fight it out mid table or could have signed for us and continue his good form and showcase it in Europe. 1 good season in the Greek league and all of a sudden he's ready again for the championship in which he failed with Blackpool already? Very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dikefale11 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 An overhaul and light years away is a bit of an exaggeration. I don't think the gap paints the full picture, we beat the champions twice this season so on a 11 vs 11 we are not that far behind or equal, what the gap states is that when it comes to smaller teams we are not as clinical or maybe overconfident. We lacked a clinical striker all season so to finish where we did with no quality striker or target man is amazing. Had we had that type of striker I'm sure we would have killed off teams where we dropped points to. A top quality striker, a top quality winger is what we are lacking so hopefully we fix that in order to compete for the title next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dikefale11 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Again, the gap doesnt paint the full picture. A quality striker would have been the difference in the games we drew/lost. Its still early days but we have done reasonably well so far in Bakasetas (if its true), Barkas and now the wall of Ukraine Chygrynskiy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
