Transfer News and Rumors - Winter 2016

[Dutch Eagle]

Tziolis is close at signing for Hearts in Scotland. Skondras might also move to a club in Scotland.

Good luck to them both...Skondras, in particular, deserves to play at a higher level than that.

 

In other news, Galatasaray is unable to pay their first installment for Rodrigues...of course.

[Dutch Eagle]

Skondras is going to play at Premiership-team Hamilton Academical.

Pash, is that what they call Financial Fair Play? You play with the mind of a player, you leave his club with one good player less, you use a player you can not afford and than you ask if you can pay later. UEFA should ban this clubs that in fact have players for free.

[Dutch Eagle]

Tasos Dimitriadis will be loaned to Zemplin Michalovce, a Slovakian top tier side. He will join Kristi Qose and Kristian Kushta overhere.

Good luck to both Tziolis and Skondras.  Both good boys that as far as I know never made trouble and gave it their best.  That's all I ask.

Regarding Rodrigues ... I've always found it bizarre how transfers work in the world of football.  I mean, as part of any transfer the payment for the player should be made in full (just like for any normal transaction) before you get the "goods".  If the buying club has to secure a loan to do so, that's there problem.  But not in football, for some reason.  Now if they can't get a loan, not our problem.  Like I said, bizarre.

So what can PAOK do now, legally that is ?  And in what time frame ?

Some funny comments on inpaok https://inpaok.com/335970/η-γαλατά-δεν-μπορεί-να-πληρώσει-τον-παο/ regarding Galatasaray not being able to make the first installment on February 1.

Αν μας δωσουν την τραπεζουντα να το καθυστερησουμε !

Άει σιχτίρ, μεμέτια ... (by someone who has a Charles Bronson avatar, big respect on the avatar).

Τους δίνουμε άλλο 1,5 και τους παίρνουμε Σνάιντερ. Γιατί όχι;

You're a wiser man than I, Dutch Eagle. You tell me ;)

still no official word on Pedro Enrique signing. He's been in thessaloniki for nearly 2 days and still nothing. I read they are waiting for some paperwork from Rennes so hopefully that's all. Just this whole saga has made me nervous and the longer he is in Greece without signing is making me feel worse. Fingers crossed its announced later today

[pash]

Honestly, it should be any minute now. He wouldn't be posting this otherwise:

praise the lord! my crippling insecurities were exposed to the world, but that's a discussion for another a topic

Welcome to PAOK Pedro!

[Bananas]

@paokarag4 ha ha, he better be good.  I don't know what the club saw in him, but you could say that for all our signings this year.  The one thing that gives me some comfort is that our signings under Michel/Ivic have been for the most part sensible.

[pash]

He's got the #11, too

 

 

Poor Lamprou - this would be twice in two weeks.

[pash]

Korovesis has been loaned back to Giannina. Lamprou still not gone, but probably will be any time now.

[pash]

Vellidis' contract has been terminated. This was destined to happen, we don't need three "starter"-level goalies...best of luck to him.

What ?!  I didn't see that coming.  I mean I get it, now that we have Brkic we don't need 3 GK's but still I would've thought a loan move would've happened instead.

[pash]

I honestly thought he'd be loaned out and that Glykos - if his good performances lasted the season - would be sold next summer. Guess they didn't agree.

[pash]

We apparently signed an 18-year-old from Schalke's youth squad, named Giannis Tsingos. He's a winger and SS who was born in Germany, and will be playing for our U20 side.

[paokarag4]

what's with the double posts pash? you trying to break the 5000 post barrier by the end of the week? quality over quantity brother 

[pash]

Hey man, there were nine hours between there. Besides, it was a slow day at work.

[paokarag4]

HAHA fair enough then. At least you went to work, I woke up at 11am :)

You have balls: mentioning Germany and SS in one sentence. Hahaha.

Do you mean the guards of the Führer? Or something else?

So slow days at work do exist for some people?? Bravo sou!

[pash]

Second Striker ;)

[Nea Bafra]

i always thought SS meant strong safety

[BostonThanatos]

What are everyone's feeling on the recent quotes by Pereira about leaving?  Is he trolling us?  Trying to make Ivic look like a dick? Or is he genuine?

«Είμαι στεναχωρημένος που φεύγω, γιατί ο ΠΑΟΚ είναι σαν το δεύτερο σπίτι μου, έτσι τον νιώθω. Τώρα φεύγω για να παίξω ποδόσφαιρο και θα δούμε το καλοκαίρι αν μπορέσω να γυρίσω για μια τρίτη θητεία στην ομάδα. Μόνο που θα ήθελα να είναι όπως η πρώτη μου στην Τούμπα. Έχω δεθεί με την ομάδα που μου έχει φερθεί πολύ καλά αλλά και τον κόσμο που με αγάπησε όπως τον αγάπησα και εγώ. Αν είναι όμως να γυρίσω μία μέρα, θα ήθελα να είναι για να παίζω. Δεν ήθελα να φύγω από τον ΠΑΟΚ, πάντα θα θέλω να είμαι εδώ, αλλά επειδή δεν αγωνίζομαι το καλύτερο είναι να φύγω να έχω διάρκεια και το καλοκαίρι θα δούμε αν θα μπορέσω να γυρίσω για να έχω τη διάρκεια που θέλω», ανέφερε αρχικά ο Αργεντινός επιθετικός που θα αγωνιστεί ως δανεικός στην Κολόν Σάντα Φε και απάντησε στις δηλώσεις του Βλάνταν Ίβιτς ότι ήταν επιθυμία του παίκτη να αποχωρήσει: 

«Έχω παίξει πολύ λίγο, λίγα λεπτά και με βάση τα λεπτά που έπαιξα, έβαλα αρκετά γκολ. Θα ήθελα να παίζω περισσότερο και να βάλω περισσότερα γκολ, για να μείνω εδώ για να βοηθήσω την ομάδα να κάνει σημαντικά πράγματα, αλλά δεν έγινε αυτό. Το συζητήσαμε με τον προπονητή, του εξήγησα ότι δεν είμαι ευχαριστημένος με αυτή την κατάσταση, ότι δεν αγωνιζόμουν όσο θα ήθελα. Οι επιλογές του, όμως, ήταν διαφορετικές καθώς είχε άλλους παίκτες ως προτεραιότητα. Το κατανοώ αυτό και για αυτό φεύγω ως δανεικός, σε μία ομάδα όπου ελπίζω να έχω περισσότερο χρόνο συμμετοχής».
