PAOKSYD Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Swiderski just doesnt have it. Would be amazing if he was sold and we replaced him with a better player. As with Swiderski & Oliviera upfront I do not see us winning the comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pash Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 And already in the Netherlands, it seems. Out of curiosity, does anyone know how the logistics of players moving works out? Like, does the team have someone (or contract someone) to help the player find an actual home, show them around, etc? Or do they need to act like us mere mortals and figure it out themselves? I'm sure there are no shortage of English-speaking people who can help find apartments and so on, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Another day, another rumor. This is presumably our "anti-Baba." Contract is up in a year, so he probably won't be overly expensive. Good age too. https://www.transfermarkt.com/rafa-soares/profil/spieler/198006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 Isn't that a rumor from previous transfer periods? Might be a smoke screen rumor while we are working on a different target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I don't recall his name but I could believe that being the case. Lately a lot of buzz about Giovinco. As in, this fun character. Apparently Lucescu was asked about it after the game (and he declined to comment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pash Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I fully agree. Since Lucescu is also allergic to young people, if people like him and Kagawa become the core of the team and then rapidly decline, where will we be left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 PAOK agreed with Swiderski to extend his contract by 2 years. There is no buyout clause. The contracts will be signed when the team returns from Holland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 We have signed a 21 year old defensive midfielder Ismahila Ouedraogo from Burkina Faso. I am certain this signing is for the 'B' team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SydneyPAOK Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Difference though is that Lucescu was Giovinco's manager at Al Hilal last season so knows exactly what he can bring to PAOK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Giovinco is apparently now demanding 1.8 mil from PAOK, which is around 600K more than what we agreed with him before. Looks like this will drag out for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athens4 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Εδώ σας εχω. Έχοντας παρακολουθήσει 17 ολόκληρες καλοκαιρινές μεταγραφικές περιόδους, τα παιχνιδάκια των ΜΜΕ τα εχω μάθει απ'εξω. Σαβιόλα, Ντενίλσον, Γκούτι, Ροναλντίνιο - όλοι κλεισμένοι ήταν (και καλα). Αρχές Ιουλίου: <<Τρελό>> σενάριο που συνδέει τον (insert name of 33+ year old has been) με τον (insert one of the big 4 Greek teams) Μέσα Ιουλίου: Επαφές με τον (insert name of 33+ year old has been) ο/η (insert one of the big 4 Greek teams)! Τέλη Ιουλίου: Έρχεται Αθήνα/Θεσσαλονίκη ο (insert name of 33+ year old has been)! Επίσης τέλη Ιουλίου: <<Κόλλησε>> του (insert name of 33+ year old has been) Αρχές Αυγούστου: Ζήτησε περισσότερο χρόνο ο (insert name of 33+ year old has been), κοιτάει άλλες λύσεις ο/η (insert one of the big 4 Greek teams) Then finally it's make or break time: Make 1: Ξάνα στο τραπέζι οι (insert one of the big 4 Greek teams) και (insert name of 33+ year old has been)! Make 2: Είπε το <Ναι> ο (insert name of 33+ year old has been), αναμένεται αύριο στην Αθήνα/Θεσσαλονίκη για υπογραφές! Break 1: Δυσκολεύει του (insert name of 33+ year old has been), στο κόλπο ομάδες απο Γερμανία, Αραβία, Μογγολία Break 2: Χάλασε/Ναυάγησε του (insert name of 33+ year old has been) ^ And that is exactly how sports journalists in Greece sell their newspapers. Every summer. Keep the story alive even if it isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 NFI why we are even trying to sign this guy. He's 34 years old and he scored 1 (yes one) goal all of last season in the Saudi league. 1.2 million is laughable let alone 1.8 million. I am seriously hoping it's all just fake news. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Lucescu really wants him, but I think it's really a big risk. Surely we could find somebody younger and hungrier for the money he is demanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we could find somebody younger and hungrier for the money he is demanding. It’s risks like these that could be Lucescu’s undoing. And I don’t want that because I really believe if he’s left alone and given an adequate budget he can win us another title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a @Blackhawkquestion. I know in the year we won the title our wages were very roughly 15 million (not including tax which added another 40%) and our budget was comparable to Olympiacos (although there’s was still a bit higher). Now the tax rate is in the twenties I think so that helps quite a lot. We lowered our budget a lot in the last couple of years (FFP).
