Olympiacos fall to Groclin in Austria

By: Takis | Comments 2 Comments

A sloppy display and stiffer competition saw an experimental Olympiacos side fall 2-0 to Polish club Groclin Dyskobolia in Jenbach. Fresh off their 6-0 victory against Austrian 3rd division club SV Hall, Olympiacos looked sloppy in this match.

Olympiacos linked with Nuno Gomes

By: Takis | Comments 4 Comments

Several media sources from across Europe are linking Benfica and Portuguese international with a move to the Greek Champions. The connection does make sense, as Olympiacos is in need of another striker, alongside last year’s leading scorer Darko Kovacevic.
Currently, the Portuguese is still tied down to Benfica on a contract which lasts until the summer [...]

Olympiacos capture Avraam

By: Takis | Comments 4 Comments

No it’s not Avraam Grant (thank God!). Instead it’s 24 year old Greek defender Avraam Papadopoulos from Aris FC. After months of negotiating the Piraeus club was able to finalize the contractual concerns and have Papadopoulos himself put pen to paper.
Papadopoulos himself was keen to move to the Greek champions, but a late bidding interruption [...]

By: Takis | Comments No Comments

The title may exaggerate what has actually happened in Piraeus, but after all it is a Greek blog (if you didn’t know, us Greeks tend to over exaggerate). Anyway, let’s switch to the transfer talk.
