hi Faliro, how are you? can you update us about the transfer in gregão?

The transfers are now beginning to flow now Euro 2016 has finished. Panaitolikos have 4 Portuguese nationals now. Larissa got their licence and are now back.

Some quite garbage players coming in for AEK/PAOK and PAO.. except for Olympiacos.. as usual. Problem is - Greece's league was so destroyed last season by the Fidel Castro wannabes - most players of any quality avoid Greece.

PAO's stadium reconstruction has stopped because they dont have permission for what they wanted to do yet.. so it looks like they will be playing at the OAKA like AEK. That will hurt them.

Not too much to report yet, covenant's link links to a page that is being updated well this year so you can see exactly what is going on.

On Friday we get to see what the European quals look like for PAOK/PAO/OLY and AEK.

On an interesting side, Alexandros Maniatoglou is now on the coaching staff of Asteras, he was the main assistant to Santos over the last 10 years. Never realised he has a Portuguese mother.



Talks here about Santos:

PAS Giannina play their first ever game in Europe tonight in the Q2 game for the Europa League. They are only there because Panionios was disqualified due to financial reasons.

PAS sold most their good players this summer. They had to draft 10 players from the youth squad just to make a squad of 25! Let's see what they can do!

Great result.

Don't worry.

3-0 now!

Well well done PAS. They played terrible, but the vikings played worse.

Uefa ties:

Olympiacos vs Sherif or Hapoel Beersheba (should be easy).

PAOK vs Ajax (would say Ajax are slight favourites).

AEK vs St Etienne (Can't imagine AEK progressing).

PAO vs AIK Solna (Sweden) or Europa FC (Gibraltar) (doable).

PAS vs AZ Alkmaar (very tough).

Hugo Almeida  - - > AEK

Sheer desperation. They sacked their technical adviser Branko Milovanović last week for not being able to find any players.. however as always with AEK - it comes down to one of the richest men in Europe - Mellisanidis not willing to spend his money.

I'm sure they don't know our b squad nor the players we have that we don't need, if so they would be able to get some good players paying peanuts.

[Faliro]

Their whole scouting department is also under-funded. Just to clarify, Tiger is worth over 3 billion.

BTW Panaitolikos bought former Benfica B player Clésio Baúque.

[T1n0_SLB]

Ok, but Aek has money to buy some of our waste, Rui Fonte, Pelé, Marçal, Diego Lopes, candeias, Djuricic, Kevin

[Faliro]

I think AEK realise they wont beat St Etienne so are not even bothering to build a team for Europe.
