pash Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Here's one that came out of nowhere. Perhaps the Pena deal didn't go through? Or perhaps the team is planning on moving on from one (or both) of Schwab and Ozdoyev. https://inpaok.com/849181/endiaferon-tou-paok-gia-ton-lenarnt-maloni/ https://www.transfermarkt.us/lennard-maloney/profil/spieler/392710 Notable that he's a DM, though. Guess Thymianis isn't our savior 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Some UAE team seems to be interested in taking Tissoudali on loan. Is this all about Lucescu wanting to keep our uber-flop, Samatta? https://inpaok.com/849212/ti-ischyei-me-tisountali/ https://inpaok.com/849209/apochorei-apo-ton-paok-o-tisountali/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Probably not far from the truth. Against Vazelo Tissoudali was 90' on the bench, Chalov was 90' on the bench and Shola played only the added time. Why play guys who score (although they are not at the level we would like them to be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's contempt! Would not be surprised if we fall out of the top 3 this season. Teams have gotten better, yet we get new guys and don't play them and stick with our old guns.

Athens4 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 PAOK hasn't made good transfers for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Murg should have never been re-signed until 2026. We had an offer for Samatta in the summer, but instead of just saving money on his salary, we wanted to make a profit. Our main goal should be to unload him this transfer period, but instead we are giving him playing time in important games. This latest rumor of loaning out Tissoudali is another stupid move by the team. Not sure why we got him in the first place if Lucescu was not going to change his tactic of playing with just one striker. Tissoudali excelled when playing as a second striker in Belgium. I would really like to see a Tissoudali - Chalov duo on offense, but we know this will never happen. As for Pena, I heard somewhere that he was our no. 2 pick for midfield, so we might still be waiting to see if the no. 1 pick signs with us.

Athens4 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Tissoudali is a winger (or at least that was the position he played when he played against a couple of years ago in the Conference League). I, too, have no idea why Samatta is getting game time. We really should have offloaded him when we had the chance. We got him for free, why would this be the transfer to make a profit?

pash Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Did anyone actually say we wanted a profit, or was Blackhawk just listening to some people at the kafenio? This summer, the "issue" was that his wages were just too high so poor Cypriot teams couldn't afford him. Not much different than Meite with Benfica.

Blackhawk Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Well the Cypriot team did not want to pay him the 1 mil salary, and Samatta would not take a pay cut. In the end PAOK decided to keep him. Should have sent him to Cyprus paying him half the salary and improving the profit margins and Cypriots paying the other half. Now we are stuck with him and on top of that Lucescu giving him playing time even though he sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Pena deal may be about to close and we might even see him on Friday (which probably means like next Friday, knowing us). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaokCT Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 And your boy Rasvan won't let him touch the field until March 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Apparently the final deal that we will sign with Pena on Friday will be for 2.5 + 1 year worth 600K per season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Pena is in Thessaloniki. He should be signing the contract either today or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaokCT Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 We NEED to get younger. Just saw a post that said in all of European competitions we are the 6th oldest team based on players who actually play. 29.2 years old average. No wonder our guys get tired, papous out here playing. Taison is the new Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Pena signing is official. Signed for 2.5 years (+1 year option). Salary: 600k Euro. Tranbsfer fee: 450K Malmo FF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Rumors are that we were after Siopis and Pena to fill our midfield. Both players were approved by Lucescu. Apparently front office told the coach that Siopis will be pursued only if we unload some players (Bakayoko?). So far we ended with Pena. Remain to be seen if we can unload Bakayoko and go after Siopis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaokCT Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I would LOVE Siopis. That heart and motor is what is missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I agree that's what is missing but I never liked Siopis. On top he is not getting any younger. I am sure we can find a player of his style and much younger. We need a Vitolo type player at a decent age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaokCT Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I mean, what he’s done for the Ethniki the past calendar year is special. He dominated the English. Yes he’s old, but he’d be all over the field. Highest motor in the CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 We need GREEK players, too. Lucescu has no issue with old guys, and I don't see any other Greek options who could be ready to go quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 That's why we got Thymianis for the midfield position. Did you see him get any playing time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soprano76 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I’m posting in the transfer thread given the rumors surrounding the player. The way Tzimas’ development has been handled by PAOK is a joke. Guy is apparently not good enough for the Superleague but Liverpool is interested? Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAOKSYD Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Anyone else feel that the tzimas rumours are bullshit? And a ploy by athens media to cause more divison amongst us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The Athens media is secretly running some random Liverpool fan account? This would be some pretty deep cover. I will say, though, I have no idea why they'd want to pull the trigger on him right now. Seems weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
