Transfer News and Rumors - Summer 2019

[pash]

From Greece though?

[Athens4]

I think we could get 8m for him. Preferably after the Ajax games.

Now the articles on us looking at strikers are starting to make sense.

If we go on to group stages they should renew him, make the buy-out 20 Million and then have the option of taking less.  Is there a formula to how much a player has to get paid in relation with his buyout clause?  I imagine you can't pay a player 200K a year and set hit buyout to 10 million.

Hopefully the Akpom rumour is just that.  Last thing we need is lose him.  I like Swiderski but I don’t see him as a like for like replacement.  No gun striker equals no challenge for the title, simple as that.

If this is true, that means Jaba is going to be sold very soon.

Warda posted photos of him training in Toumba...what’s going on here?

[Athens4]

Nobody knows.

[Nilaul]

Maybe the coach decided to give him one last chance? No one knows.

[pash]

Probably there to negotiate the end of his contract. No reason to assume more than that at the moment, in my opinion

Make wants out of Zenit, the Russkies think he'll end up back here. I love the guy but I can't see it happening without us dropping a few players.

[Bananas]

Mak!  At his best he was tearing up the Greek league.  He's versatile and can play anywhere up front.  Those goals against Dortmund ... yeah man.  You'd think there would be "synergies" with Stoch from their NT games.  And he's at a good age (28).

But at this stage I think it's just internet rumours.  There isn't room in the squad right now without dropping players or selling and let's face it his loan spell he was average at best, and poor often.

[pash]

This is VERY surprising to me. WHY would he agree to yet another loan with a new extension???

[Blackhawk]

He will be keeping Tosca company. I don't understand that logic either. 

[pash]

Wonder if this means Lamprou will stay. He has much greater upside after all.

Come on Branco don't screw this up!

[Blackhawk]

Henrique is history with PAOK.

Sold to Kayserispor SK for 600K. 

[pash]

Poor guy. He's more of a PAOK fan than PAOK fans. At least this is finally over. I'm really hoping this means we keep Lamprou (I know I'm repeating myself again).

[Yiankos]

600Κ και τον αγοράσαμε με πόσα;

[pash]

1.6mm EUR

[Yiankos]

Άρα μείον το ταμείο με Ενρίκε.

Βλέποντας τον Στοχ να είναι σε τόσο χάλια κατάσταση, θα προτιμούσα να κρατούσαμε τον Ενρίκε και να μην ερχόταν ποτέ ο Στοχ.

Ελπίζω τουλάχιστον να στρώσει σιγά σιγά ο Σλοβάκος.

[Athens4]

@@ θα στρώσει, πρώην ποδοσφαιριστής είναι.

[Blackhawk]

I think Henrique could have been useful, but if we would be loaning him every season it's better that he was sold.

As for his contribution, his winning goal in the cup final was worth the money we paid for him.

[Bananas]

Agree with Blackhawk.  I think Henrique still had something to offer.  And I also agree that he was worth it just for that winning goal in the Cup!  I will add his assist to Prijovic against Olympiakos was also memorable.  On his day he could be very damaging to opponents.

It’s a shame as he really seemed to want to play for the club, but yeah, we couldn’t just keep loaning him out each season.  It was gracious of Henrique to watch the team against Ajax and then say goodbye to the players afterwards.

Ο Ενρίκε ήταν χρήσιμη μεταγραφή, αλλά σε βάθος χρόνου καλό είναι να μην πουλάς με λιγότερα απ' ότι αγοράζεις. Ήταν η διαχείριση που έγινε και οι δανεισμοί του που έριξαν την αξία του. Αν είχε κάνει καλές χρονιές θα μπορούσαμε να τον πουλήσουμε με τα ίδια που τον πήραμε. Μόλις έκλεισε τα 29, δεν είναι μεγάλος.

Warda just posted another video of himself in Toumba, in practice uniform playing around.  What IS the actual situation with him?  I think he's a great player who could definitely play a role on our team this year, but we all know his personal issues and general bad attitude.  The funny thing is, he seems to be very liked by teammates, it's just his attitude towards coaches....I don't know.  How many chances can you give him and expect different results.  A Shame.
