Panionios make their move for Kings Kangwa
$6.8M on the table at Panathinaikos. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Panionios pay Panathinaikos $3.6M for a proper upgrade
Panathinaikos did not want to sell and the number is why they did. $3.6M for Miloš Pantović, and the expectation that arrives with him is the kind no amount of settling-in period softens.

Giannis Gerolemou turns down Panionios
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Athens Kallithea keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

The paperwork begins on Giorgos Kanellopoulos
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Panionios have done the hard part with OFI, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Athens Kallithea tell Panionios: Giannis Gerolemou is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The town asked, and Panionios paid $3.6M
Miloš Pantović was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $3.6M. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

Panionios promote Eleftherios Papastathopulos from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Eleftherios Papastathopulos has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Vasileios Fortounis steps up from the Panionios academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Vasileios Fortounis has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
