The meeting if there is going to be one could take place in Piraeus, Vrentzos is there.

The Benfica president/owner came to Piraeus to do the deals for the two Portugese lads.

Sniff, do you know how well the news is going down in Greece that Marinakis is splashing serious cash for players for us?

If he went out and bought another club whilst still owning us and spent shed loads of money on new players for them, rather than us, I'd be a bit miffed to be honest.

Well, we've only signed Dawson on a free at the minute so they haven't gone into meltdown yet.
They (Olympiakos) are also signing players so everything is calm at the moment.
That could change though when the 2 Portugese finally sign plus some others, especially if Olympiakos start the new season badly.

Any ideas what their transfer record is? Have they ever spent anything like 15m on a single player?

Does anyone else think we already have signings pretty much tied up but holding off for the new kit to be available for the pictures?

With this guy being a left winger also so is one of the boys from Portugal you could say we look to have one player at his peak with an 15 million understudy. Then the right you have lolley and cash with players like gomis to come up from the youth teams We should have a team built to counterattack down the wings. But all this creativity won't mean anything if we can't put the ball in the net.

Every year we hear managers saying that they want to get their business done early.

It never happens.

Players go on holiday in June and everything stops.

Re the kit launch, the club so at long last seem to have a competent PR operation so it could be a factor but I'd just put delays down to the normal stuff like agents, international games, negotiations taking time etc.

I thought the Adidas deal does not expire until 1st of July 2018.

In which case there will be no new kit launched until the Adidas deal expires ?
