Turkish Super League 2026/27 Season

[Callido]

Obviously, Galatasaray doesn't want their center forward to risk injury, just as Nigeria absolutely needs their center forward to advance in the domestic competition.
So, it's a difficult choice, to say the least, for Osimhen as he tries to figure out how to proceed.
I think the right option is to consult a doctor.

Osimhen cannot play now, he won't participate in the international break, Galatasaray team doctors are not stupid enough to allow him to participate in the AFCON qualification competition when the player's safety is at risk, and they have been struggling since his absence from matches.

Osimhen can sit back, Eric Chelle brought us another deadly striker who can win us the games in the qualifiers.

I never like to talk about referees, but this season there has been a record number of mistakes made against Beşiktaş in just 6 weeks. Between penalties that were not given, disallowed goals, cards that weren't shown, the number of critical mistakes made against Beşiktaş has been more than double that of their closest rivals.
There have been 2 losses in the league, one against Alanyaspor and the other against Amed SK. Beşiktaş could've won both of those matches. Starting the season 6 for 6 would've scared everyone. That's why I find these obstacles to be normal. We're used to this league being played this way.

Ask anyone and they'll agree that an early red card should've been issued after the slap on Trossard's face in Alanyaspor match. That would've completely changed the course of the game. In the Amed match, 2 penalties for Vlahovic weren't called. That game could've turned out differently as well. Beşiktaş conceded goals due to their own mistakes, but that's no excuse for the referees' wrong calls.

Ultimately the team is on the right track but external factors are once again having a major impact. We could've seen a very different standings after 6 weeks. I hope that in the coming weeks, such glaring mistakes won't be made and that the league will be a bit more balanced due to the decisions made.

I completely agree, it's been the same thing for years. This season, both Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe are putting up a very good fight; they're among the best teams in the league. Fenerbahçe lost points in two consecutive matches and dropped in the standings, but Beşiktaş could be sitting in the lead right now. Despite this, Galatasaray and Amedspor are currently leading the league, which seems like a completely political game. Referee decisions have been influencing this league too much for years

This has been the problem of the Super Eagles, losing one of their best striker and no one I mean no one has step up to prove to Nigerians that if Victor Osimhen is unavailable that they can take up that position and deliver, none I have seen and correct me if I'm wrong. For me I believe this Victor Osimhen's injury is not as serious as we think, just that Galatasaray are faking the injury not to lose him to injury when he comes playing for the Super Eagles. Look at the case of Cole Palmer, he played their last game against Brentford and before Sunday they was declared unfit to join the 3 Lions, same as Rice and some other players in the England squad I could not remember, they clubs are not ready to risk their key players so for Victor Osimhen it doesn't say anything different, the club is protecting him from my afcon injury, he is their main man and no time to take any high risk.

Referee decisions have been a long-standing topic of debate in Turkey, as you know. It's not wrong to say that Galatasaray is one of the teams that has gained the most points due to referee errors in recent years. I can say that this has had a positive effect for Galatasaray. There were some years when we won by a few points; as far as I remember, Fenerbahçe finished the league with 99 points and Galatasaray with 101, and we lost by two points. Perhaps a referee error there prevented Fenerbahçe from winning the championship. Therefore, it is very important to train referees in Turkey, along with training players. There isn't a single referee we can call a good referee.

Of course, a mistake made at the beginning of the league can change the champion at the end. We can call this the butterfly effect. Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray have been in a championship race for several years, but the referee isn't solely to blame. Fenerbahçe has struggled to win against Galatasaray in recent years. Especially under Jose Mourinho, they haven't won a single derby match. You can't win the championship if you can't win derby matches. This year they've also started poorly and already have two losses. Blaming the referees at the end of the season is, in my opinion, childish.

This has been the problem of the Super Eagles, losing one of their best striker and no one I mean no one has step up to prove to Nigerians that if Victor Osimhen is unavailable that they can take up that position and deliver, none I have seen and correct me if I'm wrong. For me I believe this Victor Osimhen's injury is not as serious as we think, just that Galatasaray are faking the injury not to lose him to injury when he comes playing for the Super Eagles. Look at the case of Cole Palmer, he played their last game against Brentford and before Sunday they was declared unfit to join the 3 Lions, same as Rice and some other players in the England squad I could not remember, they clubs are not ready to risk their key players so for Victor Osimhen it doesn't say anything different, the club is protecting him from my afcon injury, he is their main man and no time to take any high risk.

This is nonsense. Osimhen has been injured for a long time and it's unclear when he'll return. He wasn't expected to return during this international break anyway. So your conspiracy theory has fallen apart. If he were ready, Galatasaray would have played him, they're barely winning their matches as it is. They were humiliated in the Trabzonspor game. Do you really think they'd have benched Osimhen in such a tough match if he were healthy? You're just spouting off without thinking. Fake injury my ass. Galatasaray needs him more than anyone in the world.

I agree with you because if Victor Osimhen wanted to fake an injury he would have waited till the last game of Galatasaray before he would have been declared unfit to play for the Nigerian national team but this isn't the case since he was already out of Galatasaray squad for weeks due to an injury. I don't agree with what Sexylizzy2813 said either, it's a baseless assumption. We know that some teams do fake injury or the fitness of a key player when they are called for International duty but it mostly happens when the club has a future important match or they have a must win match in the domestic league. Moreover, the season is very young, I don't see any reason why clubs will want to protect their players from attending International duties just because they're trying to shield them from getting injured.

Galatasaray without Osimehn is like a dog that cannot bite. We've seen it happen again and again. He's the one carrying the team on his shoulders, and any time he gets injured, the team tends to struggle. The good news for Galatasaray is that the injury is not serious. He was scheduled to be on the sidelines for 3 weeks. He has already been out for 2 weeks, and it's just a week remaining. The international break will also work in his favour, as it will allow the medical team to avoid rushing his recovery process. By the time the league resumes on Oct 10th, I think he should be fully recovered and ready for the upcoming games.

They need to fix this ASAP otherwise whenever he decides to live and I believe he would want to in the future, their team could fall apart if they are over-reliant on him, and it would take a long time before they can rebuild their team again.

I thought that by adding Leao to their list of attackers that they would be able to get a bit more to do more bite than bark but maybe he is yet to adapt to life in Turkey.

If a club gives a report that a player is injured do you think the national team would question the report? There's something at always happens each time every club wants to go for international break, injuries of players that are important to them, they wouldn't want to let the players go so the injury comes early to make it look real, bro that is what I have noticed so if you haven't then I have seen it that way. I also gave instance of Cole Palmer, played on Friday and on Sunday or before Sunday he was withdrawn from the 3 Lions squad and you say it isn't the club that is protecting their own? There are some international games that isn't needed to stress the players but it must be played, like when Arsenal was struggling and battling to win the league sometime ago last season, just this same period, Brazil wasn't playing for anything just a friendly game, in that game Gabriel was injured (forgotten the country they played against) and it almost cost the Gunners some of their game and if Arteta had given that report or him being injured do you think he would have gone? We should understand how the game works this time around, nobody wants his best to get injured for some stupid game that doesn't matter, this game Nigeria will play against Madagascar I see it as a workout, without Victor Osimhen the Super Eagles will win the game so Galatasaray are using that injury to hold the man back and I like it that way, he's the only man that can do well as a striker for the club, without him they lost and watch in the next 2 to 3 games he'd be cleared. Football is not how we see it these days.

Today I listened to Serdal Adalı's speech on TV. What he said about planning was very positive. Graf staying on, Önder Özen working in harmony with him and the signing of Italiano, these are all positive developments. The president also offered some self-criticism. He acknowledged that it was a mistake that some transfers didn't go through. For example, it's very clear that we need a backup for Salih at the number 6 position or a player who's even better than him. However, this didn't happen during the Summer transfer window. He said they'll make up for it in the Winter. That's encouraging. They're aware of the problem and are trying to find a solution.

He also mentioned the mistakes made against Beşiktaş. We should talk about this more often because there have been serious injustices this season. These things shouldn't happen in upcoming matches, we want to see a fair competition.

[SUPERSAIAN]

I heard the news that Dušan Vlahović won't miss any matches for Beşiktaş it seemed like a more serious injury was being discussed initially, but regardless, this is important news for the club. The fact that he won't miss a single game is excellent news. Beşiktaş needs Vlahović's experience and his contributions in every match he really energizes the team. He will be playing in the Kocaelispor match, followed by the game against Trabzonspor the next week.

I’m curious about that match I wonder how Trabzonspor, a team that managed to beat Galatasaray 4-0, will fare against Beşiktaş.
