Only the photograph left for Dennis Bakke Gaustad

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Dennis Bakke Gaustad will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Aris the goodbyes have quietly begun.

A falling-out at Aris

Wes Foderingham and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A row about effort at Aris

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Rody Junior Effaghe was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Aris take on the side everybody is chasing

APOEL arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Vaná

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Veljko Nikolić knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Aris, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Rody Junior Effaghe falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Loan watch12 Oct 2026

Anastasios Pisiias counts the days

“I watch every Aris game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at PAEEK runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Gustavo Pajé wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Aris can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Yacine Bourhane

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

When it matters, Vaná plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market12 Oct 2026

The Juraj Badelj story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Juraj Badelj signs something — a contract at Aris or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Andronikos Kakoullis asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Werton has settled at Aris

The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.

Looking ahead12 Oct 2026

Home comforts ahead for Aris

Akritas Chlorakas, position 14, come to town on Saturday. Nobody will call it a big game and nobody at the club will be treating it as anything else.

Match23 Sep 2026

Aris march on in the cup

Ethnikos Achnas are out and Aris go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Squad28 Sep 2026

6 saves: Vaná was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Alex Opoku Sarfo pops up at the right end — 7.16

7.16, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Match26 Sep 2026

Aris make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Aris have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Alex Opoku Sarfo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Alex Opoku Sarfo and Aris agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Aris

Leon Balogun and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces28 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Ross McCausland

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match26 Sep 2026

Rody Junior Effaghe sends Aris past Anorthosis

It finished 2‑0, and it was Rody Junior Effaghe’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Aris.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Werton runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
