Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season

[Pierre 2]

Trabzonspor announced that Dorukhan Toköz's contract has been terminated. This Dorukhan, 27 years old, is now clubless when he should have played in his prime. We saw how unstable he was when he left Beşiktaş.

Meanwhile, Fenerbahçe will pay Dusan Tadic 4.2 million Euro per year. Beşiktaş would never have paid such a salary. He wouldn't even get half of that. Fenerbahçe again spent too much money for nothing. Paying 8.5 million Euro to a 35-year-old player for 2 seasons is nothing but really turning the team into a nursing home together with 38-year-old Dzeko. If their costs were low, they would be understandable transfers, but as it stands, it creates a financial burden on the club.

I always felt like Dorukhan was mediocre player at best. He didn't deserve to be first eleven player in any of big 4 teams in our league I suppose. On the other hand I also agree that Fenerbahçe is very very exploited with this new veteran players. Its ridiculous. I mean I would call if Galatasaray did same... Galatasaray did something similar only with Icardi which already prove his worth last season. Fenerbahçe may really suffer this season financially.

[execijutiere]

Fenerbahçe transferred Samatta to PAOK for free. Samatta couldn't find his feet at Fenerbahçe and to be honest my expectations were high when he was first transferred, but he couldn't adapt to the league and left Fenerbahçe unsuccessfully.
Fenerbahce managed to add another stopper.Rodrigo Becao was signed from udinese and I think he was a very good signing.Livakovic and Zaha transfers are still pending. I hope they are aware that while filling the team with foreigners, some players need to be parted ways.

Dorukhan was playing really good football when he was first selected to the national team, but then he got injured and could not reach his previous performance again. Trabzonspor made the right decision by terminating his contract. According to a news I read today, Adana Demirspor made an agreement with Dorukhan. Adana Demirspor have experienced players such as Belhanda, Nani and Ndiaye. He was transferred to the best team except the 4 big teams in our league. He's still young. If he shows a good performance in Adana Demirspor, he may go back to his old days, but I don't think it's too likely.

Galatasaray lost to Sturm Graz in the last friendly match in the Austrian camp. Galatasaray fans were not satisfied with the football played.

Galatasaray will play the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round first match with Zalgiris Vilnius 4 days later. Galatasaray reported its squad to UEFA for the Zalgiris Vilnius match.

Galatasaray | Squad
Goalkeepers: Muslera, Batuhan, Berk.
Defenders: Dubois, Angelino, Ross, Kaan, Nelsson, Emin, Abdülkerim, Kazımcan, Boey.
Midfielders: Midtsjö, Berkan, Oliviera, Torreira, Emre, Morutan.
Forwards: Kerem, Yunus, Zaniolo, Mertens, Halil, Yusuf, Barış.

Alexandru Cicaldau and Taylan Antalyalı are not in the squad.

[emrecemsan]

It is said that Galatasaray have signed Cedric Bakambu and he was supposed to arrive in Istanbul today. But interestingly Transfermarkt says that Al-Nassr signed him on a free transfer at the beginning of this month. I didn't understand why he would join Galatasaray not even after a month going there. Anyway if that's true then Galatasaray would be in a better situation before the Zalgiris matchup as they have had only Halil in the centre-forward position before.

By the way I heard Paredes continues to reject every offer coming from Galatasaray. Hence they had better look for another defensive midfielder.

Even though this friendly defeat took me by surprise, seeing the ball possession statistics that are far in comparison between the two is very significant.

They need tactical changes so they don't repeat the defeat again in the next match, even though this is a friendly match the defeat still makes the fans disappointed.

Lyanco transfer was canceled at the last minute. It was going to be an important transfer, but when this transfer was cancelled, Beşiktaş added Daniel Amartey to their squad. Amartey joined Leicester City in 2016 for 6 million Euro. Beşiktaş got him for free as his contract expired. We can say that it was a great transfer. Beşiktaş took care of the right defender issue.

Jean Onana was added to the midfield. Beşiktaş recruited a very important young star for only 4 million Euro. This transfer move was also very important. Beşiktaş's squad is taking shape. Good looking starting eleven so far.

The team played well in today's friendly match. Aboubakar continues to score goals. There are high expectations from the team this season. Success is expected in the Conference League and Super League.

It seems not bad as you have said but I saw something today that kinda important. There are a lot of players from African national teams, who will go to the African tournament. Beşiktaş only could get those players this year. I don't know if it is the fault of the club management or just luck. Also, the decision for Lyanco is so important and just. It is great for Beşiktaş that, although at the last second, they could avoid a huge problem. We have witnessed terrible decisions like this before in the past. Almost blind players were transferred. The team is looking not bad in the friendly games. As you mentioned, Aboubakar seems like on fire. The pre-season training camp Aboubakar can be huge. He was already so effective last season, this season he can be even much better.

Aboubakar has been on fire with his performance in the pre season games with Besiktas and will definitely be a threat to opposing teams when the team officially starts the new season.
That being said, the African tournament that'll have so many players leave their club to go and participate isn't gonna affect just Besiktas but every other club with African players. Without their African players, I think Besiktas manager will definitely know best to till the African players in his team returns

After Icardi's arrival started to be doubtful for the near future Galatasaray decided to bring another centre-forward. They have signed Cedric Bakambu on a 2-year deal. His salary is only 1.3m euros a year which is quite favorable for them I guess. He is 32 years old maybe but still not a bad player. His performance at Olympiacos was quite impressive. He can still make a good goal contribution to Galatasaray. He might be likely to be their first choice in the coming Champions League matches as well.

As for Fenerbahçe they have completed the Becao signing as well. I wonder how Tadic - Dzeko duo will play together too. Both of them are quite old but Tadic's recent performances still make me excited.

[execijutiere]

Besiktas transferred Nathan Redmond to Burnley without a fee.Redmond made an impression with his performance in the derby.His contribution in the derby was unbelievable.Apart from that, we can't say that he is a name that has made a name for himself with his name and the football he plays.
Besiktas signed forward Jean Onana from Lens, they paid 4 million euros for the transfer and we can say that it is not a big amount for a young player.
Trabzonspor, on the other hand, announced the transfer of Tonio Teklic from the Varazdin team for the transfer of number 10.They gave 1 million euros to the young player for the transfer fee.We can say that they have added a young player to their squad cheaply.How this transfer performs in the league, of course, time will show us this.

[Spack17]

It was said that Fenerbahçe reached an agreement for Livakovic. But the Croatian goalkeeper was on the pitch with D. Zagreb yesterday and showed a very bad performance. About Zaha topic, it is said that the player has agreed with Crystal Palace for 200 thousand pounds a week. If we look at the current squads built so far we can expect the championship race to be between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.

The rumors is that Wanda has some sort of sickness and they were trying to find the reason and what's wrong with her, which is why Icardi hasn't come yet. I can't speak on behalf of Icardi, but if that's true then that makes sense for him not to come yet. Plus, Icardi shared a picture with his galatasaray shirt on, which could be an indicator that he will go there again, they were pretty happy as a family there and Wanda likes being there apparently.

These are all rumors from football news websites though, I think if a Turkish person here could say what is really going on, they may have inside information, we are only given information from Fabrizio and other news places, a Turkish dude could enlighten us about what's "really" going on.

Galatasaray significantly retained their squad from last season. Icardi's transfer has some uncertainties. But I believe this problem will be solved soon. Apart from that, we can send Mertens from the team and transfer a better player to replace him. Because I think his performance last season was below expectations. In short, everything is going well at Galatasaray. On the other hand, Fenerbahçe also made very good transfers so far. Dzeko and Tadic are a little old. But I'm sure they will take Fenerbahçe to a better level. However, I think Beşiktaş's transfers this season are not at the same level. I also think that the championship race will be between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe.

Emrecan Uzunhan, who had a traffic accident, was attacked after the accident. Such a thing would only happen to a Beşiktaş player. We live in a very strange country indeed. It's said that the player is seriously injured and will have surgery, at least not able to play for a few months. In such a case, the club should immediately file a lawsuit and seek financial compensation from those who caused this damage. These scumbags, who both play with the player's health and cause financial damage to the club, should both be jailed and pay fines to the player and the club.

Correct information @emrecemsan. Al-Nassr signed Cedric Bakambu on a free transfer at the beginning of this month. But Cedric Bakambu's family does not want to live in Saudi Arabia. Cedric Bakambu terminated his contract with Al-Nassr and have signed with Galatasaray according to rumours. Half an hour ago, Cedric Bakambu arrived in Istanbul.

I've also heard about this. City bandits beat him really seriously. Now he has a hamstring injury as well which will prevent him from playing football for around 6 months. It is really unbelievable. What can motivate those vandals to beat him like this? I hope those people get the punishment they deserve as soon as possible.

Traffic incidents are getting more serious in this country day by day. It is really the best to stay away from potential fights or even worse as much as possible. I hope Emrecan can heal faster than the expectations.

We don't know if Livakovic played badly to lower his price because he's going to be transferred, right?
Livakovic is almost certain to come to Fenerbahçe, but it would be ridiculous to wait any longer. I think he should be transferred to adapt to the team as soon as possible.
As for Zaha, this transfer is getting ridiculous now.Zaha has been delayed a lot in the decision making phase and now we can say that this transfer has turned into a deadlock.The player's inability to make a decision is the event that started this transfer mess.

I watched the footage from the security camera, it's truly incredible. A car accident can happen to anyone, but you can't attack someone like that. If the man had a knife or a hard object in his hand, perhaps it would have killed him.
I hope he gets a serious punishment and is removed from society. Such people should not go out. Beşiktaş's lawyers will do what is necessary

[W Jr.]

Wilfred Zaha, who Fenerbahce has been interested in for a long time, is about to sign with Galatasaray. The player was on Fenerbahçe's agenda for about 2 months. The possibility of Galatasaray going to UCL may have changed Zaha's thoughts. The transfer of Fenerbahçe to its biggest rival was reflected in the media as a big sports news. I hope Galatasaray gets the maximum benefit from him and can join UCL.
