Market

AEK come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and AEL Larisa did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Yvann Maçon 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 AEL Larisa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Pione Sisto

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Pione Sisto 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Davíð Kristján Ólafsson

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Davíð Kristján Ólafsson, and the manager let it.

Match

A bad afternoon for AEL Larisa against Panserraikos

0‑1 to Panserraikos, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Aldair Arnedo dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Market

Nahuel Cáceres joins AEL Larisa to strengthen the squad

Nobody sells a season ticket on a signing like this. Every manager who has been through a bad October wants one anyway, and AEL Larisa have gone and got theirs early.

Market

AEL Larisa borrow Konstantinos Angelakis

A season-long look at somebody else’s player: Konstantinos Angelakis arrives from Olympiacos with something to prove and a return ticket in the drawer. Good loans make everybody richer; this one starts Saturday.

Market

AEL Larisa turn down AEK for Yvann Maçon

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Davíð Kristján Ólafsson 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.

Squad

Julien Ngoy 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 AEL Larisa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Still no ink between AEL Larisa and Davíð Kristján Ólafsson

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at AEL Larisa, another week without a signature from Davíð Kristján Ólafsson.

Market

36 months and counting on Paschalis Staikos

Still no offer on the table, and Paschalis Staikos’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Market

Experience through the door at AEL Larisa

Branko Vrgoč arrives at 36 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

In brief
