Squad14 Sep 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Panagiotis Tsintotas

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

Market14 Sep 2026

Kostas Triantafyllopoulos asks to leave Asteras

“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.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

A defender's goal wins it for Asteras — 7.76

1 for Evgeniy Yablonskiy, marked 7.76, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Market14 Sep 2026

Ricardinho has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Asteras can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Transfer targets14 Sep 2026

Levski tell Asteras: Juan Perea 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.

Match12 Sep 2026

Asteras find a way past Volos NPS

Volos NPS made Asteras work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Asteras training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nicholas Gioacchini 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.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Appearance number 100 for Ricardinho

100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Ricardinho runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Panagiotis Tsintotas damages knee ligaments — 94 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 94 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.

Market7 Sep 2026

Kalvin Ketu hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Asteras can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Deadline passes with 13 signed and 10 gone

That is the business done at Asteras until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Door shut on Dinis Rodrigues

Asteras asked and Napoli said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A step back for Franz Brorsson at Asteras

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad7 Sep 2026

10 new faces, and Asteras are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Asteras

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

Looking ahead7 Sep 2026

Julián Bartolo goes back to face Volos NPS

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Julián Bartolo’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Asteras needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Market7 Sep 2026

The Franz Brorsson talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Asteras know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
