European Competitions 2023/24 - Signings & Rumours

[saras]

Do you have the budget for such an oversized backcourt?

There is no limit to the budget. Next year it will be even bigger (main targets are hezonja and tavares)

[janketa]

Pangos will probably go to Zalgiris and with Evans that will be killing duo

Dorsey will leave Fener soon, Itoudis is one step away from being the worst coach in Fener's history. Seems that without guy like Vatutin and 40+ milions he is useless

How do you rate him as Fener coach versus Pianigiani?

He is better coach but with idiotic roster he will end like I said

I mean, even if we forget players,clowns, awful losses, at the end if we just take a look on results, if you spend 50-60 milions in 2 years and bring nothing, can we talk about elite coach at all

Mike Daum in advanced talks with Efes. What are they doing? I understand market is not big but they actually want to bring all the mediocre big players possible. It's horrific what they are doing from the summer with the transfers if we don't count Thompson.

He looks like Zalgiris type of big man they bringing all the time, but in Zalgiris he would be elite player in terms of few months. In Efes he will crack in week or two

First Zalgiris adition will be Edmond Sumner, according to 15min.lt

Ok, so Giannakopoulos said on the IG live that Panathinaikos wants 2 players worth 3M euros each and both are known very well in Piraeus and the goal is to have better roster than in 2009 for the next year. Hm, so I would say maybe Micic and someone from Real (Tavares, Hezonja). Maybe it's just a bait, but I doubt it...

Maybe Micic- Vezenkov?

Better team than 2009?? That is extremely high goal!!
He has probably watched this:

and recalled 2009 pao team.

Maybe Micic- Vezenkov?

Since he said him and Ataman were in talks with those 2 players I would say it could and should be Micic. IMO he is back next season in the Europe 100%. I also thought Vezenkov at the 1st moment but then I realised Pao has Juancho who has a contract for next season and Mitoglou who plays like prime Dirk so it's pointless. Even more with everything suggesting that Hezonja is more or less done deal. So I would say Tavares. He is free agent next summer and his worth is 3M euros easily.

Yeah that team was like Galacticos in the football. Crazy, crazy squad. But hey, you never know

[saras]

Giannakopoulos said today that together with ataman there have been talks with 2 players for this summer whose salary is more than 3m each and that oly fans know them both good . We know that the one is Tavares. The other one is either vezenkov or mimic if I had to guess. He said that next year's roster will be better than 2009 (diamantidis, saras,Nicholas, spanoulis, fotsis, tsartsaris, batista, pekovic)

[paspalj]

Maybe Micic- Vezenkov?

I find it impossible for Vezenkov to come to Panathinaikos. Given past rumours (I think Pao approached Tavares this summer) and current situation (Micic getting zero minutes) those two make a pretty good guess. There is no way Hezonja is a 3m player (but he might still be a target). I hope we make at most 3 transfers next summer. Ideally just two.

I cannot imagine a better roster in 2023 than 2009. It's simply impossible, considering the available pool of players for the EL.

But a roster might be above everyone else to the same degree. And that necessarily means adding Tavares.
