pash Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 There's no way it'll be 12. For that kind of money, we could buy two of him... Saw on instagram that Mauricio may be offered an extension on his contract. Now that's a show of faith. Of course the player wants more money. I think the Wernbloom/Oliveira combination is going to be real interesting next summer. We weren't likely to go up against CL-caliber teams without a defensive midfielder, so we were likely to see him anyway. Hopefully he'll be fully fit in time.
Dutch Eagle Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 And Strasbourg (France) is interested in Jaba. Better league, but Jaba should go for a better club and league imo.
paokarag4 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Varela with the biggest hint that he's staying put on his instagram Hopefully they are very close to finalizing the dealhttps://www.sport24.gr/football/omades/Paok/paok-o-varela-esteile-mhnyma-paramonhs.5465660.html
pash Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Mihojevic got injured, he's out for about three weeks. Probably not the best news for OFI, as they are due for relegation if results stand (ignoring their..."legal" problems)...
pash Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Wernbloom apparently ran for the first time since his injury today. Very good news. I bet we'll see him in the qualifiers. Will be great to see how well he partners with Oliveira (who I am feeling pretty confident will be with us this summer)
pash Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Daniel Alsina, the youth development guy we hired away from Barcelona, is leaving. Hasta luego ?♂️
Athens4 Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Do we know why? It is a shame someone with such profound footballing knowledge is leaving us.
pash Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 No idea. Perhaps he wanted to go a few steps farther than the club did? Or perhaps he just really didn't like living in Greece. Had his time been a huge success, I think we would have seen them talking about his results more over the past few years. But who knows; this is youth development we're talking about.
Blackhawk Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Differences of opinion according to the always "trustworthy" press.
pash Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 What I didn't write, was perhaps Branco just didn't like him. So, I could believe it. Differences of opinion is usually PR-speak for, "pissed off the wrong person or was incompetent."
Blackhawk Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Looks like Henrique played his last game for PAOK. He is out for the rest of the season and I don't see him returning to PAOK next season.
pash Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 That's a real sh1tty loss. At least he'll be there for the celebration. 3-4 weeks from what I read
Bananas Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 Damn shame about Henrique. I would’ve loved to have him in the squad for the cup final. He’s exactly the sort of player that can turn it on in games like these.
pash Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Sounds like El Kaddouri is out for the season as well.
Athens4 Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 They both won't be with us after this season anyway. Not that I wouldn't mind Henrique staying.
Athens4 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Vieirinha tore his cruciate ligament so he will be out for a while. I hope he can make it back for next season at least and I also hope GIannoulis will step up to the task.
Nilaul Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Paok needs to invest in some better midfielders for champions league; need some more "glue", faster, skilled players with more vision. I dunno if Oliviera fits that bill, we need players that can constantly create chances from the midfield. Edited April 15, 2019 by Nilaul
pash Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 One rumor I saw on the 'ole instagram was that we were going for three higher-priced signings - a RB that would be at least as good as Matos, a midfielder (though it was not clear to me if this is in addition to Oliveira, or possibly him), and a winger. It seems we may need a LB at this time as well. Finding someone comfortable on both sides would probably be the solution for our fullback situation. I like Giannoulis and think he is a good long-term situation on that side (though I'm sure most people here would disagree). But to have no backup/competition for him until December would be madness. Keep in mind Wernbloom should be back in June. He'll doubtlessly miss the first qualifiers, but hopefully he'll be ready for the last matchup.
Bananas Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Terrible news about Vieirinha. Out for at least 6 months. He is literally irreplaceable. I don’t think there is any player on the planet with his skill set that we could sign. Stafylidis seems the logical choice and he’ll be solid, but I know who I’d rather be playing with on the flank if I’m playing LW. And I know who I’d not prefer to have playing if I’m the opposition. Now is the time for Staf to man up and return when we need him.
paokarag4 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Vieirinha's injury is a huge blow. He is a quality player has come up big in multiple big moments throughout the season. Thankfully the league title is all but wrapped out but his absence will be felt in the Cup final (assuming we close out the 2nd leg) and of course next season but we have a whole summer to prepare for that/sign players. I would be very surprised if Stafylidis came back at this early stage, he's back playing for Ausburg I'd say he has enough currency in Germany and Europe to stay in a better league. In saying that I'm pretty sure his contract expires in a few months, so the stars may align
Bananas Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 @pash has the club found a spare 15 or 20 million buried in the back yard ? The signings we made in the summer were from the sale of Prijovic.
DunfermlineAthleticPAOK Posted April 15, 2019 Author Posted April 15, 2019 Absolutely devastating for Vieirinha. Could be the tail end of next season before we see him again depending on surgery, rehab and how his body responds. When I saw him last night i was fearing the worst. Gutted doesn't even come close. Actually, I'm really angry about it. 1
Bananas Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 If Staf doesn’t want to come back now, then he can eat a big one as far as I’m concerned. Petty much ?
