Squad21 Jun 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Marios Dimitriou

27 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Aris lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market21 Jun 2027

Dinamo Tbilisi join the queue for Vladyslav Ostrovskyi

Add another name to the list: Dinamo Tbilisi have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Vladyslav Ostrovskyi. The answer from Aris has not changed — yet.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Real improvement from Dudu at Aris

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Dudu is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Charalabos Charalabous has improved at 25, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Marcelo Bourscheidt wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Aris know it.

Market21 Jun 2027

The Dennis Bakke Gaustad conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Agia Napa will make the call about Dennis Bakke Gaustad this week. Aris have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Marios Dimitriou

41 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Aris lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market7 Jun 2027

Dudu asks to leave Aris

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom7 Jun 2027

Kazuaki Suganuma signs for Doxa while still at Aris

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Kazuaki Suganuma has agreed terms with Doxa for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Market7 Jun 2027

Kazuaki Suganuma is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Aris is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market7 Jun 2027

Marios Dimitriou comes home

The shirt still fits. Marios Dimitriou is back at Aris, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Cicinho in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Aris this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Alexandr Kokorin damages knee ligaments — 109 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 109 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Dudu gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Dudu has just signed for Aris, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Aris

Gédéon Kalulu was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Words at Aris training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. José Silva is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market11 Jan 2027

Abdoulaye Sow attracts admirers

The name of Abdoulaye Sow has come up in conversations Aris were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Grigoris Kastanos was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.52. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Match9 Jan 2027

Rody Junior Effaghe rescues a point for Aris

It needed Rody Junior Effaghe to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Paralimni, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Market11 Jan 2027

The Rody Junior Effaghe story refuses to die

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

Veljko Nikolić runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 11. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
