PAOK_001 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 with those players in the starting lineup we are going to do very well this season, can someone tell me a bit more about illiadis (have we acctually got him yet?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manolis Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 This is awesome stuff Zagorakis back at Paok...the fans at Toumba will be roaring, he alone will multiply ticket sales...well done Paok. He's a true leader and should take on a coaching role with Paok later on, we may even have a Greek NT coach in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gate4Hooligan Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 GK - TOUCHORPGLOU LB - KOYTSOPOULOS CB- KARAPUDIS CB- UDEZE RB - AKIEL LM - SIKABALA CM -ZAGORAKIS CM - ILLIADIS RM - FEUTSINI CF - MEICEL CF- SALPIGIDIS seems like a good theoretical line up. If Feutsini leaves the club, will Megahead get the ok for RM? He seems like a 80'/game player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziaka Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Zagorakis has not signed yet. Zagorakis has made an announcement saying that he is a player of Bologna with one year left on his contract, and that he intends on honoring that contract. This might be tactical move on his part (I hope), in order to be released by Bologna without compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasili0s Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 It seems Bologna was really bothered by the rumors on Theo and his apparant contract offers from clubs across Europe (including paok) Theo also posted a translation in Italian, and made it clear he wants to abide by the contract. From 7th heaven back down to reality paokia, how sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zagorakis had no other option. By FIFA rules he can't talk to any other teams unless his current contract expires in 6 months. If Bologna wanted to screw with him and they could prove he talked to other teams, he could face stiff penalties. All Zagorakis is doing is covering his ass.Sooner or later Zagorakis will end up in PAOK's jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korisos Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I hope it will be sooner rather than later. today Georgiadis was released from OSFP, from UEFA.com Georgiadis shown the door Sunday, 26 June 2005 Veteran Greek midfielder Georgios Georgiadis has been released by Alpha Ethniki champions Olympiacos CFP. The 33-year-old winger made 44 appearances over two campaigns at the Georgios Karaiskakis stadium, contributing nine goals, before his season was cut short by knee ligament damage in March. Olympiacos have signed two right-wingers, Charilaos Pappas and Anastasios Kyrgiakos, since claiming their eighth title in nine years last month, and have decided not to offer Georgiadis an extension. .......... so those rumors of him, Zagorakis and Vryzas joining to run PAE PAOK could start up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAOK_001 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Ziaka, how long do you think it will take for Zago to be in a PAOK guernsey and also whats the probability of it happenening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Georgiadis and Zagorakis! Sorry boys but my personal opinion is, we only need Zagorakis to bring in the "Theatre fans" these are the fans that only turn up when we play the 3 big clubs from Athens or European games! Is it worth it? Zagorakis is 34-35 his time as a footballer is coming to an end, at 400k I feel we can invest in a couple of up and coming young players. Georgiadis is in the same boat even worst he is coming off a serious knee injury! These players claim that they want to finish at PAOK but let's be honest these players are coming for the re-tirement package, if they love PAOK so much why not stay when we needed them. Why did Zagorakis say if "I go back to Greece I will go to PAOK" while playing in England, were did he go AEK, So much for the respect to the team that made him and also honoured him by having him as captain, Georgiadis " I will never play at OSFP" were did he go! PAOK did well in the second half of the year, we have a good coach and have kept our best player Salpigidis, I say no more veterans at Paok, Sign young players and keep them on good contracts, we have to stop them from leaving and playing for our rivals then buying them back! If they want to finish, finish at AEK and OSFP that's where they went, we are a football club not hotel for the aged. They could have been kings in Saloniki but they chose to puppets in Athens. NO one plays for a club everyone plays for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziaka Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 You're right james. Everyone plays for money. After all it's a business, and the sooner some of these clubs realise the better. Teams need to be financialy stable in order to keep and buy the good players. Tactics used by the types of Batatoudis, Goumenos usualy backfire in the end. As for Zagorakis, everything depends on Bologna. He has a contract with them for one more season. If they release him, since they might not be willing to pay him 900K playing in Serie B, than he will sign the contract with PAOK. Bologna seeing that there might be interest from other teams, they might try to sell him. In this case I don't see PAOK being able to pay Bologna for Zagorakis. I think in the end this whole situation will be resolved in PAOK's favour. I just don't see Bologna keepeing Zagorakis at the current salary while they play in B' division. As far as Georgiadis is concerned, he will most likely sign with Iraklis for 2 years. I still have to say that he made a big mistake for ditching PAOK two years ago and going to Olympiakos. Two years ago he was the leader of our team, and he went for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gate4Hooligan Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Georgiadis wasn't getting paid by PAOK. and the a portion of the money we owed him he "erased". Although You are right he is going to Iraklis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batigol Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Well it's pretty much official that Bologna have given Zagorakis his release and he's expected to come back to Thessaloniki soon and join up with the team for practices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaos Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 That would be freaking awesome! Come on, lets now officially hear some great news! I'm feeling really good about our upcoming season. With Zagorakis, Iliadis, Shikabala, and Salpi, I think we can compete for a Champions League spot, and actually sell some tickets at Toumba!

NYC_Olympiakos Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 This is such a pyschological boost for Paok who have been dealt with so much negativity in the past year Zagorakis brings along his professionalism and greatness he will sell many jersey's and tickets as well he will more importantly create a winning atmosphere for Paok and we all know he isn't just going to get his weekly wages and just chill he will work hard to improve the state of the club Zagorakis in his mind needs to prove something he wants to do something special with Paok and i applaud the greatest Captain in Greece history for trying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziaka Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Rumors are that Zagorakis's manager is in Italy trying to irong out his release from Bologna.

Batigol Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I agree Hollywood. For the first time in a long time it seems...they'll be a bit of parody in the league this year. There was last year as well to a certain degree with the top position being decided amongst 3 teams in the last few weeks. This year however is turning (hopefully) out to be one where quite a few teams have a chance to do very well not just domestically but also in UEFA and CL.

Ziaka Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Today it was announced in Italy that Torino and Messina did not get a license toplay in Serie A, which means that Bologna will remain in Serie A. This will complicate the Zagorakis issue. Bologna now might not be willing to release him from his contract. Torino and Messina have the option to appeal this ruling. Bologna startes pre-seson training on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korisos Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 i think he won't be coming to PAOK anymore, i think it was just a coup by management to try and sell more season tickets. now that Bologna is in serie a, what was the whole point of them being in a playoff and Zagorakis missing confed. cup games because of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
