European Competitions 2023/24 - Signings & Rumours

[tonia]

Barca terminated Cory Higgins' contract. Any rumours about where he might sign next after the Zvezda talk cooled? Would Fener fans gratefully embrace him?

There are rumors that Panathinaikos, Olympiakos and Armani are interested in him. However, he has not fully recovered from his injury yet.

Of course he is one of the best players, though maybe it's too late for him in this age. But 1+1 contract could be worth of try. After all, fener is the best place for aged players to recover from injuries, ask Bjelica about that

higgins was a great player back in 2020. now and after many injuries he is pretty much an ex player. there are no rumours about PANATHINAIKOS of course. after all his agent is a scum, representing papagiannis as well and the team will never work again with this agent and his players. but even if he didnt have this agent, PANATHINAIKOS would still not make a move for him cause we have already mykhailiuk as our main target and waiting for his nba hopes to end and announce him. plus dorsey in the future.

i can see higgins to loserbiakos, his salary is gonna be much lower now and they can present him to the red sheep as a great player signing to them. they have the know how to move from a 2,5M player (nunn), to an 800K and still make their sheep feel happy. just like they did with mirotic and sikma. of course those offers to players with salaries so high like nunn and mirotic are just imaginary offers, given by an army of paid journalists to their fans to keep them calm after losing their (by far) 2 best players this summer and replacing them with mediocre players (sikma instead of vezenkov and goss instead of sloukas)

Higgins would be a great fit to Pao, he'd team up with ex teammate Mirotic as clowns here repeatedly claimed the Spaniard was a done deal and a separate case to Shengelia. Both great signings and would definitely take away all this negative presence that's been around Pao the last 3 years. 29 EL games won in the meantime, one would think that the club has become addicted to losing.

Are you trying to poke some specific Pao fans with a short fuse or are you truly saying that because we had some bad seasons we can't have better ones? Like, what does this comment have to do with anything? Yes, we've been bad for some time now and we're trying to do better. Isn't that the whole point?

Rivero ...what else?

[flyfish]

Alba Berlin Sems to be close to Spagnolo and Matt Thomas. Still Need an additional SF and a Big.

As it seems, Mirotic to Milano:

Milano has like 8 PF/C. I wonder if they have a plan or if they’re just collecting players.

As the owner of Milano said, Mirotic is a gift for the fans And a gift to the rest of us that all this serial about Mirotic finally ended. Now we need to worry only about Mykhailiuk and Dorsey or another guard.

[flyfish]

In my view the PF/C spots at Milan are now even more overcrowded then already before this signing. I would assume they will try to geht rid of 2 players.

we havent same budget as turikish and spanish. right. and i guess we all hope some new investor will be soon interested in mta BUT there is something nobody is focusing.
We never had highest budget but we are still considered a powerhouse because of a past based on great scouting.
so , having an higher budget would help a lot, but we are showing our scouting and technical choices are totally inadeguate. im writing of competences. Historical bball coulture based on americans and muscles, shoud be finally revolutioned. everybody in mta, owners, managers and fans, should finally embrace european bball philosophy, focused on eu players with high perimetral skills.
thats the main reason we are collapsing to an average el team, that shouldnt even deserve licence a, considering results.
so yes, money. but competences., also

lmao. dorsey has contract till 2025 so if he wants playtime, either he needs to find a team willing to pay 2m (more for pao) buyout or if he continues to being a dick, he most likely will need to please excuse my language but lick itoudis' balls. his choice.

the guy came to fener 2nd half of the season and didnt play shit. even caused fener 4th seed. fener aint losing anything in either way. but for 2023-24 season he aint going anywhere, lol.

Itoudis statement about Dorsey's non participation to the national team:
"He had a family issue, he wanted to be by his partner's side during her pregnancy, and he also had some issues with his waist that he wanted to sort out so that he could be present at the next step of his career on a collective level."
If Dorsey stays in Fener, it will be a huge surprise.

Milano has like 8 PF/C. I wonder if they have a plan or if they’re just collecting players.

Messina has suggested that Mirotic could play some minutes as a SF.

Shved has left CSKA and apparently talked with Olympiacos last week.

It's a shame that we signed EL rookie Neto, in situation when Pangos will be free very soon. He will probably go to Partizan, cos they are not stupid as Fener(or some fans here) and they don't care about injury problems like team that payed Bjelica for not playing the whole year.

BTW I don't know if Neto is maybe even good signing, just he is not proved yet in EL and it's even bigger gambling then signing proved EL player coming back from injury
