Genclerbirligi has appointed Mustafa Kaplan as club's head coach.

Genclerbirligi has appointed Mustafa Kaplan as club's head coach for 1 year, as he joined team from another Super League Ankara side, Ankaragucu after providing reasonably good performance and paying an important role to keep side at top league.

As it was stated on earlier blogs, Genclerbirligi does see this season at showing good comeback to the Super League after being relegated to lower league at previous season. Being side which did show mark at top league, one of the main aims to make sure this team would be able to show strong and confident performance at top league is to get coach who knows how to work at this circumstances and Mustafa Kaplan has shown that he is capable to overcome this with his performance at Ankaragucu. It needs to be stated that this appointment is being seen as good decision and Kaplan has all capabilities to move this team forward and lead team to have a season which it fans has missed after 1-season absence.

Time as always would show if Mustafa Kaplan would be successful at Genclerbirligi but for now it doesnt look to be any reason why he shouldnt have good season at his new club.

Yeni Malatyaspor has signed Moryke Fofana for 2 years.

Yeni Malatyaspor, who as known would be earliest team to open season due of Europa League 2nd qualifying round games, has signed Moryke Fofana for 2 years after player has shown good performance during last season.

As it is known, most of the clubs during this summer transfer window among expected to be going quiet, has also provided main focus into players who are experienced to this league, at least with with early signings. Yeni Malatyaspor 1st signing of this summer has also been done in such manner, as among Fofana being used to the Super League but also shown pretty good strong performance with Sivasspor during last season. With also Yeni Malatyaspor primary aim for now is to get to the Europa League group stage, which it needs to play in total of 6 games at qualifications, it would need to get high quality players and Fofana are among them. Surely, he would be able to move team forward at each front for next season with such transfer.

Moryke Fofana does look on paper at least as good transfer for Yeni Malatyaspor and as player would be able to push forward during next season.

Emmanuel Adebayor has left Basaksehirspor. 

Basaksehirspor player Emmanuel Adebayor after providing some good performance in recent season has announced publicly that he will not stay at club with his farewell message.

It was known that Adebayor would be leaving team as soon as season has ended as he didnt provide good performance towards ends of the season due of old age and also not being able to provide high level performance physically. However, it needs to be noted that Adebayor has provided strong and memorable performance being among one of the main reasons for side to provide high level performance for league title during last 2 seasons. Meanwhile, it also expected that Adebayor could be staying in Turkey possibly even joining Besiktas or Fenerbahce where his role would be mainly of providing his experience to younger players rather than provide affect on the field.

Emmanuel Adebayor as been stated did provide good performance to Basaksehirspor and played an important role for team to find itself at title race in recent season but with his age it was time for him to leave club.

According to Belgian media, Galatasaray has paid 6 million euro to Standard Liege which was an amount to use signing of Cristian Lyuindama option and has signed player for 4 years which does show that club has been satisfied with his half-season performance at the team.

It does need to be noted with Cristian Luyindama joining team, apart of some agressive performance which led him get red cards on two occassions, he has shown good performance and has strengthened defence performance which has provided an important push on the road to league title without doubt. Due of UEFA FFP issues it is expected that Galatasaray would be announcing this transfer as soon as UEFA announces its final decision which is expected to be next week. Luyindama as been mentioned did show high level performance at the team and would be carrying on important role at team defence next season.

Only issue which Luyindama would need to solve during next season is to be careful with his harsh performance as two occassions which took place last season of red card has been happened at important games.

Denizlispor has signed Kayserispor player Tiago Lopes for 2 years.

Denizlispor carries its transfers on early days of summer period with focussing into purchasing Kayserispor players, as it has signed 2-year contract with Tiago Lopes after signing Cristian Sapunaru on previous day.

The main focus for Denizlispor as been mentioned is to get good quality players who are familiar with Super League and as Kayserispor did have shown some good performance during previous season and also players not being specifically expensive has led Denizlispor to focus on early days of transfer to them. Tiago Lopes as player is capable to provide needed performance which Denizlispor would be aiming for as it aims foremost to stay at league and also end season at highest place as possible. With also joining to his old teammate Sapunaru on next day at Denizlispor would also affect positively to both players as their would be able to show high level performance and push team to achieve its aims for upcoming season.

Tiago Lopes is also good transfer for Denizlispor and would be helping team to show good performance in upcoming season but needless to state it needs to carry on similar transfers in careful way.

Trabzonspor signs Eskisehirspor player Firatcan Uzum.

Trabzonspor has also started summer transfer window 1st day with signing of Eskisehirspor player Firatcan Uzum, who is being only 19-year old is promising to be high quality goalkeeper for future of this country.

This transfer could provide some idea also how Trabzonspor would go through during this summer transfer window as it would be concentrated into good quality and potential young stars and would be aiming to carry on its last season performance of working with potential stars of Turkish football. Not much is known about general performance of Firatcan Uzum but he does have all aspects which could make him good player and without doubt such a transfer has been mainly aimed into future of goalkeeper position at Trabzonspor as he would be working with Unal Karaman who as coach has shown how well he can work and develop with youngsters into future stars at last season.

Firatcan Uzum is expected to be mainly 2nd goalkeeper for team for next season but does expect to be good future investement for team for now at least.

Monchi states that he didnt recieve any offers from Galatasaray for Ever Banega.

Sevilla sports director Monchi has stated that club didnt recieve any direct transfer offer from Galatasaray, even through Turkish sports media did state several times that it is being main priority.

Stating that, it also known that for now Galatasaray does have mainly transfer negotiations with player and is reported to be close to make deal between sides with only talks about duration of contract and also salary taking place. With this taking account it could be seen pretty normal that club didnt have transfer negotiations with Sevilla directly. In fact, Galatasaray administrator Abdurrahim Albayrak did state that negotiations carries on and would be taking next step in upcoming days, possibly inclining that direct negotiations with Sevilla will take place. Meanwhile, publicly Ever Banega few days ago did state that he aims to stay at Sevilla and so did Monchi but sides would need to have talks and how this aspect would develop would of course have direct impact towards Galatasaray also.

It does look like this issue will not be solved at short period and as always our blog would follow how this story would develop.

Kasimpasa has transferred Akhisarspor player Fatih Ozturk for 2 years.

Kasimpasa has transferred Akhisarspor goalkeeper Fatih Ozturk for 2-years as it aims to solve out its issues of conceding high number of the goals during previous season as it would get goalkeeper who did show some good performance at recent seasons.

Even through Akhisarspor has been relegated at the end of the last season, Fatih Ozturk needs to be stated did prove himself as high quality goalkeeper especially during previous season and it needs to be stated that Kasimpasa did need some good goalkeeper with lower amount of the price. Even through Kasimpasa didnt have very bad season especially during 1st half, it did concede high amount of goals and hence does need to have strong players at the back. It did solve this issue with goalkeeper but stating that it needs to be noted that it would need also find some defenders which could be also an aim for team during upcoming period of summer transfer period.

It is crucial here also that Fatih Ozturk will not have an issue with being adapted to the league and is expected to provide high level performance as soon as league would start.

Denizlispor has transferred Cristian Sapunaru for 1+1 years.

Super League newcomers Denizlispor has been stated several times that it aims to make much stronger team which will be able to get high level performance at top league with limited amount of budget. And it has started its transfer with signing Cristian Sapunaru.

It needs to be noted that Sapunaru did make his mark with good performance at Kayserispor without doubt and did leave some positive aspects with his performance at Turkey. Being used to the league and also showing good performance, Denizlispor would have also an advantage of having player which would not have an issue at getting adapted to the league. Sapunaru are among players which would be able with his performance at least to keep team at the league, which is very likely to be primary aim of the team for upcoming season. Therefore, this transfer could be seen as good transfer and does follow logic of team's on target and low-priced transfers.

With knowing capability of Sapunaru it could be stated that his performance would help team to show good outcomes during next season.

Antalyaspor has made 2-year contract with Aatif Chacheouhue. 

Antalyaspor has made transfer deal with Rizespor player Aatif Chacheuhue with official statements is expected to be announced at short period of time.

Aatif Chacheouhue performance at Super League, which includes Fenerbahce, did let him show some good performance and being able to become one of the main names of this Super League even through it is questionable if he can show good performance at top level teams. Still, for team like Antalyaspor which does have moderate aims, with highest possibly getting Europa League spot, Aatif could be very suitable to achieve those aims and help even to surplus their aims. Therefore, this transfer assuming of course that Aatif would be able to show his best performance would help Antalyaspor to provide some good performances during next season also.
T
his is therefore, without doubt could be treated as good transfer deal for Antalyaspor and Aatif also.

Genclebirligi CEO Murat Cavcav has been reelected as club's CEO once again with 371 votes as he ran as single candidate as club has enjoyed getting back to the Super League after 1 year absence and has provided opportunity to make themselves once again amblems of league.

Murat Cavcav, who is also being son of legendary club CEO Ilhan Cavcav, has been at this position when club has relegated on previous season but he has managed to make team once again stronger and help team to get promoted with very good season at lower league and would be aiming to make team which would provide pretty strong and confident performance. Stating that and as it case for all clubs, he would have some financial difficulties at the team and would need to make transfers during this summer transfer window with minumum budget and also could give an opportunity to aim to provide some investment to the academy which is among main topics at Turkish football right now. Murat Cavcav had some bad days and good days and would be willing to have his 2nd period in more successful performance.

Murat Cavcav without doubt would aim to provide high level performance of his team during next season and would do everything to achieve that.

Summer transfer window expects to be also quiet this year.

Summer transfer window would be starting in Turkey from 17th June and will take place until 2nd September, as there is also expectations that it could be quiet window taking account with transfer rumours amount and also financial issues of clubs.

With some clubs, especially top 4 clubs, aiming to make much more stronger team for next season, it does raise questions regarding of financial issue and amount of cash their hand on their disposal for sure. Therefore, sadly to some extend it would be expected for summer transfer window in Turkey to stay quiet and also mainly focussed with loaning players for some number of the seasons.

Stating that, this blog could also be wrong and we could see high number of transfers compare to lets say pretty quiet last summer transfer window in country.

Taking account also financial issues it could be stated that this transfer could be very effective for
Sivasspor as despite of being goalkeeper of lower division, as a player he has shown some good performance during last season at Troyes and has all reasons to provide high level performance at Sivasspor during next season. Sivasspor as a team does have some potentiality but as known it is also important to have high level goalkeepers at its hand and signing of Samassa could solve this issue without doubt.

Player can be great alternative for Lorius Karius for upcoming season and also provide high level performance and become main goalkeeper when Karius contract would be over. It is reported that Besiktas would now have strong negotiations with Yeni Malatyaspor and it would be curious if it
would be able to make deal with club at the end of the summer transfer window.

If Besiktas manages to make deal with Ertac Ozbir at the end of the season it could be good signing for club without doubt and able to have good alternative for Lorius Karius.

Trabzonspor once again stated it would not sell Yusuf Yazici and Abdulkadir Omur.

Trabzonspor CEO Ahmet Agaoglu has stated once again that he has no intentions to sell Yusuf Yazici and Abdulkadir Omur during this summer transfer window and that this conversations has been closed.

With high number of talks about European clubs showing strong interest with those two players for next season, it is known also that both players doesnt have much interest to live team during this summer transfer window. Despite of all statements and as been mentioned several times at our blog, it would be expected for those European clubs, among them being giants, would be carry on having transfer negotiations with clubs and players and might get those two players with high salary and transfer fee but it does look that it would be pretty tough to achieve that at the end of the season.

Trabzonspor seem to be reluctant and task to convince club and players during this summer could be tough one but there are high aims that this conversations and rumours will not end even if Ahmet Agaoglu states it would.

Galatasaray are interested to transfer Ever Banega. 

Galatasaray transfer talks with Ever Banega carries on and their are possibilities that it could be able to make deal with player but it would be still be difficult with Sevilla to make deal.

For now, it does look like even through clubs are having numerous transfer negotiations,  their do have troubles at making finalised transfer deals for mainly monetarily issues. It is known that Galatasaray are having strong interest with Banega and even talks that player wants to join team but Super League champions do have difficulty to convince Sevilla to sell him to them. The talks are very likely to carry on between those sides and it might end in good deal, but for that Galatasaray would likely to sell some players this summer.

Ever Banega would be good addition to Galatasaray but it does look to be pretty complicated and will move team to go ahead at league and more importantly at Galatasaray.
