pash Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 We were never gonna get the full clause for Giannoulis, at least not without him turning heads in the CL. I think best we can hope for is 3mm + 25% resale. Hopefully we do get offers for both him and Limnios. Signing Vieirinha at a lower wage and successfully offloading at least half of Wernbloom's (and *not* trying to re-sign Mauricio) should also help a little as well. I expect the club to go to the very limits of what they can spend, though. No cutting beyond what's strictly necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilaul Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 FFP is bullshit when your own president is funding the team from his own pocket without endangering the team. Sure wanna level the field in EUROPE? Then limit the big teams, but not the smaller teams that want to grow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 But then how will they ensure that the big teams stay big?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I wanted to share this in light of the repeated claims that Fenerbahce wants Akpom. This is very recent and their situation has obviously not improved in these few days. There is no way Fenerbahce has the funds to make a really serious offer to us, but we might still be inspired to accept it. Perhaps with a resale rate attached? Who knows. Personally, having Tzolis and Gaitanidis as backups to Swiderski wouldn't be the worst thing in the world (though I don't think they'd score many goals personally). https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/10/sports/soccer/turkey-lig-besaksehir.html?action=click&module=Features&pgtype=Homepage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 For the money Fener is offering it's not even worth thinking about. Maybe they're using the FFP situation as a bargaining chip. Still, I'd be disappointed if we sold him for so little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 I doubt it too. Let me get this straight. We will loan a player from a team that is refusing to pay us for his transfer in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 The first things that need to be addressed are the contract situations with Vieirinha and Mauricio. Vieirinha will probably be signed, but if Mauricio is not signed very soon we need to look for a replacement prior to our CL game. That's probably where the Milanov rumor comes into play. I am starting to have doubts about Misic as well. Rumors I heard is that he is going through chemotherapy. If that is the case he is probably done playing for a while, and I don't see PAOK spending the big money that we need to pay his team. Time will tell.

Tzatziki Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Mauricio being targeted by Villas-Boas at Marseilles apparently. Qui est Mauricio José, la cible de l'Olympique de Marseille ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 He's been linked with them for a while now and I say we let him go. Stafylidis also linked with Trabzonspor. Interesting that they can afford him when they are banned from UEFA competitions due to FFP violations. When does the transfer window open, anyway? August 1st?

Blackhawk Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 I think it's August 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Seeing new rumors of Limnios being linked to Torino. They can certainly afford him, though who knows how accurate the rumors are. They seem kind of stocked up at winger, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athens4 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Would have no problem at all with seeing Mauricio go to Marseille. Likewise, I would welcome a bid for Limnios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Looks like Lucescu is trying to steal Vieirinha from PAOK. As fo Limnios I would sell him in a heart beat. Don't think he has anything more to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I doubt Vieirinha will go and def expect him to take a pay cut, but if Lucescu can give him a big final pay day, then good on him. Limnios is trending to be like Kitsiou (who is also rumored to be coming back to Greece, this time to play for PAO) - a good player who fails to take that next step. Sell sooner than later.

pash Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Also now seeing that Lucescu's team is expected to make an offer for Biseswar. His wages aren't crazy and we won't make a lot off of him but I still think this is a good opportunity for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athens4 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 This summer should be a clear out. We were never going to make CL Group Stage this season anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I'm gonna modify that just a little - if we make it to the group stage, the four or five players we need to lose are not going to be the difference maker, judging by their recent performance. No way we drop like, 10 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 The clear out (If there is going to be any) will happen after the CL/EL qualifiers. Before our first CL qualifying game we might drop maybe one or two players and sign one or two. As for our chances, I think this year is our best chance.

Athens4 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Ziaka, don't forget who we are supporting. PAOK is capable of getting a draw at Old Trafford then losing to Odds Balklubb at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pash Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Read in one site that there is an agreement to pay 2mm for Misic, in two installments. But in another site that it's 2mm for 50% of his rights. Is this like playing the telephone game? A few people hear a rumor, pass it along, and when it gets out the other end it's turned into all sorts of other things?
