Olympiacos Piraeus

Ojogo is the most radical. They have 2 issues. One for Porto Region, based in FC Porto. Other for rest of Portugal.

[Bryan.]

The fairest way to put it is A Bola and Record are Lisbon newspapers, O Jogo is a Porto newspaper. That is how everyone looks at them.

O Jogo is the most radical, sometimes even giving us that spanish vs catalan press vibes.

A Bola is very sympathetic to Porto editorally because they market themselves as the "Bible of Sport" so they go even further trying to be impartial but they are usually associated with us and our president has a huge pull with the top journalists.

Record is more pro-Sporting and more tabloid-like and the only newspaper that really challenges Porto. They really go after any club and anyone if that means selling more and creating controversy.


PS: As far as transfers go, O Jogo and A Bola are the only ones who are remotely reliable. Record is absolute trash in that regard, putting any kind of trash on the cover to sell.

Welcome Figueiras. 

[Trapattoni]

Please convince Marinakis to hold Marco.
That man deserves a better club then Puerto nuebo

[Faliro]

All rumours are coming from Porto media. But you never know.

I like this guys face, looks like he fucking means business. Never seen someone sign a contract with so much war face.

Marco Silva is already putting the squad together for next season. Figueiras etc.. Would be quite shocking even by Greek standards if Porto managed to get what they wanted.

Hernani has returned to Porto.
Manolas looks set for Man U 40 million (Olympiacos own 50% of the player's rights).
Masuaku on the radar for Sevilla.

Player raised in Benfica's youth system, with a rising solid career (Pinhalnovense - Paços de Ferreira - Sevilla - Olympiakos). Can play both left/right back and winger.

Before going to Sevilla, former Porto manager, Paulo Fonseca, asked Porto board to buy him, while he was at Paços de Ferreira, but they refused so he went on to sign with Sevilla.

As a Benfica youth system player, he's linked to one U-17 champion title, after scoring a winner on the last minute, of that season's last game, against Porto.

Thanks for this. Nice to know we haven't bought another 'kreas' as the greeks say.

Figueiras is a good player. Confortable with the ball on his feet, quick, average crosser, but short and a bit fragile...honestly, he could have been called a couple of times to national team...not as an undiputable player, but as being part of the 30/35 regular names considered. I didn't bother to have him as a Benfica squad player. I think his stint at Genoa wasn't as good as he expected, but still a name to consider.

[Faliro]

I am not so concerned about Genoa, that place has been a graveyard for 100s of Greek rising stars.

From what you said, hopefully he can find confidence and really grow.

[Schweisen Tiger]

He played 73 games with Sevilla the last two seasons (not counting 2015/2016)...here you can see his quality. Participating that much in such a good team, means something.

Pulido was kidnapped? 

[Faliro]

Yip.
