Turkish Super League 2022/23 Season

[Pierre 2]

Galatasaray have one of their important players in the past as their new manager now. Okan Buruk must not have much problem on adapting to Galatasaray. I don't like to see a team changing their manager very often but maybe they would have a long-term contract this time with Okan Buruk. It is important to wait patiently for even a long time if necessary. For example, Manchester United had great times with Alex Ferguson but in his first times they had really problematic seasons for some time.

I'm thinking the same thing as you. Okan Buruk was one of the important players of the team we won the 2000 UEFA Cup. He knows the club and the fans. He knows what we need. If he stays as a coach for many years, he could become a legend like Alex Ferguson. We must be patient with him for a few years.

We totally agree on being patient for a few years. Although this is not possible in Turkey, I wish it. I hope Galatasaray's new coach and former player Okan Buruk leaves a good mark on Galatasaray. Being a good football player does not necessarily mean being a good coach. If it were, George Hagi, the greatest football player of Galatasaray, which is accepted by everyone, would still be in Galatasaray as a coach. We will watch the management of Okan Buruk together.

As a kid I always loved Okan Burak's playstyle in midfield. They had great chemistry with Emre Belözoğlu and Suat. I am sure many people remember their names. But it is hard to guess his managing performance. I personally feel like Galatasaray will never fill Fatih Terim's role. They need assertive coaching. All big teams need assertive coaches literally, or players won't be motivated.

[Davidvictorson]

I think Galatasaray should end the transfer of the striker as soon as possible.

Galatasaray should first of all handle its financial issues before looking to make any transfers. As a matter of fact they already have talented young players with high potential which if only Okan Buruk and the team management can focus on building their efficiency, the performance of the whole team will skyrocket this season. For example some of these young talents are Sacha Boey, Olimpiu Morutan, Mostafa Mohamed, Alexandru Cicaldau, Baris Alper, Emin Bayram, Hamza Akman, Emirhan, Emre Akbaba and many others. If they can do this then, hopefully it will be a good and successful season with a championship at the end.

thanks for this info, list looks interesting and some of these players could be future of Turkey's football in coming years

will check them on Sorare, to see if any is trading below fair value, Galata cannot have season worst than previous one, so everyone should pay attention to them

Victor Nelsson, Marcao, Taylan, Berkan, Kerem and Yunus are all young players. And it can be added to this list.

There are some transfer rumors. There are rumors that Fenerbahçe has transferred Emre Mor. There are rumors that Weghorst will come to Istanbul for Beşiktaş on Wednesday.

Bartuğ Elmaz of Galatasaray went to O. Marseille, and right after transfer he said he is gonna play in reserve team. I watched his some of performances in young league, he has soft legs (I mean his shooting/passing technique seems better than average). I hope he will be successful in France and can play in main league later on. Turkish league exports young players, much rarely nowadays.

I'm not sure if I saw his name before, it wasn't look familiar to me. I checked his data and he only played in two games as a sub in extra time LOL. His total playing time is 2 minutes in 2 games. I'm not surprised about his statement, he didn't get any playing time at all. How could you expect young players to develop when they get no time? One of other funny thing is he played against Marseille in Europa League and now they transferred him. Now he will play in reserve league in France though. At least he can see pitch and showcase his skills and maybe he can be promoted to A team. It's clear Galatasaray didn't think about using him in these two years.

Yeah I am sure most of football watchers even Galatasaray fans may not know his name. I watched his youth performance on YouTube mainly when I was researching about young talents in Türkiye. And yeah he never exactly found time with team even with that good technique. His physics seem not good enough for league yet but technique could be good enough to use him at last minutes of matches. Sadly Galatasaray couldn't use him well.

Güven Yalçın left the team when he didn't extend his contract with Beşiktaş. Now it has been written that Genoa, one of the Italian Serie B teams, is interested. If he goes to the second league of Italy, it will be a big lack of vision. He played for Lecce before, but he is no longer a young player. He will have had a big pullback in his career when he should have played in better teams.
Kerem Kalafat is on loan to Çaykur Rizespor. If Kerem still can't find a place in the team when Rosier doesn't have a backup, he needs to sit down and think. He needs to think about what I'm doing wrong and improve himself. Otherwise, his name will be forgotten in a few years.

[trendcoin]

I read a news that Beşiktaş are interested in Cedric Bakambu. I had the opportunity to watch him live while he was playing in Bursaspor before. I'm not sure that Cedric Bakambu is what we need. Maybe he can be a good and opportunistic second striker, but he may not be enough as a first striker... Michy Batshuayi was not very productive last year, we need to make a good striker transfer this year.

I read today in a speculation that Ola Solbakken was on Galatasaray's agenda. But there is a problem. Roma team also wants to transfer Ola Solbakken. Also, if Marcao transfers to Sevilla, Galatasaray will transfer Denayer.

There is also a very interesting transfer news. Ankaragücü signed Jese Rodrigues.

I read today in a speculation that Ola Solbakken was on Galatasaray's agenda. But there is a problem. Roma team also wants to transfer Ola Solbakken. Also, if Marcao transfers to Sevilla, Galatasaray will transfer Denayer.

Another problem is when Bodø/Glimt still want to keep Ola Solbakken as well and hope that he extends his contract there.
Actually if you see that Galatasaray are currently in a difficult situation to get this player apart from when you see the progress it is clear that Ola Solbakken will prioritize Roma, Roma are also more favored because as far as I know AFAIK they have been negotiating the Ola issue with Bodø/Glimt since a few months ago.

[Pierre 2]

I feel like Galatasaray may not be able to get Solbakken from now on. Roma is interested with him. He is not that 'very' young, he is 23 years old. So I am sure, on equal terms, he would prefer Rome to Galatasaray for his career to potentially get better. Just before 25, this can be his last chance to rise and shine. Only if Rome find better option, he may be ok to go with Galatasaray. Other than this, no possibility.

The problem is that currently Bodo/Glimt are also still postponing this and hope that Solbakken can continue to stay there.
As for the better level, it is clear that Roma are more prestigious now but there are other things to look at as well, such as whether Solbakken can compete in the bigger leagues? because even though he is a young player, but still when he fails he will only be wasted later.

Ola Solbakken's contract period lasts 6 months with Bodø/Glimt. Despite this, Bodø/Glimt does not want to sell the player. Bodø/Glimt says Ola Solbakken should go for free after 6 months.

Also, Galatasaray wants to transfer Erik Botheim. Erik Botheim and Ola Solbakken are Norwegians. And friends from the Norwegian national team.

TFF is moving to the new application. After the removal of the U19 League, the Reserve League is coming. Reserve League matches will be held with the participation of 19 clubs in the Super League. It will be organized according to the Super League fixtures and to be played on the same day as Team A matches. The aim here is that the players who can not play many matches in the A team play in the Reserve league. A silly decision in my opinion. Because the player, who can not find a place in the squad, works harder to get into the squad and keeps his condition ready. If the player is going to play in the Reserve league, he will not be able to play in the Super League when he needs the A team.

There are reserve league equivalents in the world's major leagues. I'm not against the reserve league but it definitely needs to be planned properly. If such games are to be played for nothing, it will not be beneficial. The reserve league can help both young players and players struggling to make the roster stay fit for the game. Of course, there should be a reward for this, so that it is worth the money spent by the teams. Because this job has many costs, from transportation to stadium maintenance fees. I wonder how the federation will solve this. An economy can be created in the open channel with broadcast rights and a few sponsors.

There are some transfer rumors. There are rumors that Fenerbahçe has transferred Emre Mor. There are rumors that Weghorst will come to Istanbul for Beşiktaş on Wednesday.

Fenerbahçe transferred Emre Mor. I'm curious about his transfer. Because he could not be successful in Galatasaray. Maybe they can be a very good duo with Arda Güler. Both are young and quality players. They can work for Fenerbahçe for many years. In addition, one more issue should be mentioned. The average age of the Fenerbahçe football team is decreasing. It is clear that they are making a long-term program.

[Balmain]

Galatasaray transferred the young talent of Altay, Kazım Karatas. Kazım Karataş is a very effective football player in the left back location, I had the opportunity to watch him, albeit a little, last season, he is incredibly good at the level and makes good interventions by lying on the ball. I hope he adds something more this season and contributes to the team.

[trendcoin]

Beşiktaş are about to sign a 1+1 year contract with Cenk Tosun. Cenk Tosun experienced unfortunate injuries in England. That's why his English Premier League career was not so bright. Now he is returning to Beşiktaş again. He can prove himself again here. Also, he can end Beşiktaş's striker problem. I absolutely believe he can do that. This contract will definitely make a difference to Beşiktaş this year. I am happy. :)

I was happy when I got the information that Cenk Tosun will be offered a contract after his injury crises with his English club side, it's a nice move and I believe his presence will boost the striking force of Besiktas who have had challenges in their team as a result of not having a smart striker. I have watched Tosun play and he is good in front of goals but I hope the fans and Besiktas as a team will give him some time to prove him prove himself when he finally join the team? I believe he will bring a good change to the performance of the team but he will need time to prove to them that he is still a good striker, nice move for Basiktas.
