Libyan midfielder, 27, playing for Braga and widely considered one of the best defensive midfielders in the Portuguese league. For some strange reason, Greek media insist that he is very close to signing for Olympiacos, which makes no sense whatsoever: he has a market value of 16m, and plays in...

27-year-old goalkeeper, Turkish international and captain of Trabzonspor (where he has 162 appearances). Very highly regarded in Turkey. According to a Turkish journalist with a decent following, you're interested. He seems a bit expensive for a bencher.

And since the Staying up thread worked as well, it's time for the next level. So, how about securing a ticket for European competitions for 2024-2025?

Pictures from today's training for the match against Everton. Judging by the number, this must be Aaron Donnelly. Two things, if so: 1. It's good that a youngster still trains with the first team (as does Oliver Hammond, if I'm not mistaken). 2. Donnelly is 19; in this picture he looks 25...

Apart from Arter (Jesus...) and Laryea (who was told to find a team, if I understand correctly), are there any other members of the bomb squad currently? The squad will certainly grow in numbers as the transfer window progresses: Ioannou was training with you in pre-season simply because you...

French winger, 19, at Sochaux. As BUPA a rumour as it gets, but what a name! And what a picture!

According to a French account specializing on Sporting, you're interested in Sporting's left back Rúben Vinagre, 23. As a loan of course, since Sporting just exercised their bying option and signed him from Wolves for 10m. If the rumour has any truth in it, I suggest Murphy is very very careful...

So far, the movement of players between the two clubs has been relatively limited, did not involve a lot of money and mostly conformed to three scenarios: a) players that needed to be moved out of one club and thus went to the other, where they might fit in better, (with or without the added...

Since I brought you luck with the “Going up?” thread, I thought I should open its obvious successor sooner rather than later.

I think it's time to be bold enough to ask the thread title's question. - You're currently 8th, only two places and four points below playoff positions, and with one match less than Huddersfield (although, to be fair, with one or two matches more than some of the teams below you). - You have...

First priority: bring in two (or more) proper full-backs.

WBA midfielder on loan from Benfica, 25. He was supposed to sign for PAOK, then they said that we were interested, which is impossible given the amount of midfielders we have, and at least one Greek sports site (well connected with us) claims that it is Forest who are interested and close to...

I'll go against the current and the all-encompassing gloom here and say "playoffs", regardless of who the manager will be. You tried the overachieving pattern and it ended badly. So this season you'll play the underdog card. Everyone will assume that you are relegation material, until you...

Given all the talk about how poor Jenkinson is, and if academy players might not be a better alternative for backing up Cash, I thought of opening a topic for yet another right back, given his Olympiacos background. Some facts: Rezart (that's his full first name, I think he calls himself Rezi)...

Liverpool's Taiwo Awoniyi is supposedly an Olympiacos target. He's had very good loan spells in Belgium and the Netherlands in the past, but a disastrous one at Mainz this season (he has hardly played). Good strong striker, aged 22, with a good finish. I think he also plays on the wings. As is...

According to a Greek reporter, Modesto asked (on your behalf) Juventus for the availability as a loan of Dany Mota Carvalho (21), striker who can also play as a right winger. Mota, despite his name, is not Portugueuse but from Luxembourg. He has played for a number of Italian teams and was...

When a team does well, and has a very specific, very difficult and very lucrative goal for the end of the season, it is always tempting to want to go all in. The danger with this approach is to disrupt balances, and mess with a good chemistry. So, barring other major injuries, what do you...

As is often the case with unwanted players of both clubs, there is word in the Greek press that our goalkeeper Marios Siabanis (19, he'll be 20 in late September), may find his way to Nottingham. Siabanis belonged to PAOK until this summer. He was widely considered to be the best Greek...

So, some of you are coming to Greece for the two friendlies. Those interested in meeting with Karteo and myself, please state your availability and what you want to drink, so that we can make arrangements. - How many? - Just a beer or mezes with tsipouro / wine? (Sorry, Chris, a decent cup of...
