Squad

Alexandros Parras gets the move he always wanted

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

Transfer targets

Stijn Middendorp is a medical away from Agia Napa

The deal with Anorthosis is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Marios Peratikos 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 Agia Napa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Donaldo Açka

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

Squad

Antonis Tsiaras 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

The formation has left Asdrúbal behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Agia Napa will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Transfer targets

Agia Napa ask about Dennis Bakke Gaustad

A loan enquiry to Aris: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Market

Ilias Melkas told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Ilias Melkas has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Agia Napa.

Market

Asdrúbal brings the grey hairs Agia Napa lacked

At 35, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Transfer targets

AE Kition tell Agia Napa: Giorgos Naoum 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Agia Napa

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

Market

Giorgos Konstantinou steps up from the Agia Napa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Giorgos Konstantinou 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.

Market

One of our own: Georgios Kyriakou joins the Agia Napa first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Georgios Kyriakou is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Valentinos Laifis steps up from the Agia Napa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Valentinos Laifis 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.

Market

Valentinos Kolias steps up from the Agia Napa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Valentinos Kolias 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.

Squad

Marios Peratikos signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Marios Peratikos and Agia Napa agree another 4 years.

Squad

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

Still no ink between Agia Napa and Andreas Kyriakou

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Agia Napa, another week without a signature from Andreas Kyriakou.

Transfer targets

Agia Napa try to borrow Giorgos Naoum

AE Kition have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

Agia Napa ask about Francis Uzoho

A loan enquiry to Omonoia: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
