What happened in Turkish footbal today? 16.10

With the lack of players tomorrow, Galatasaray might attempt to start new winning streak

Following Euro2016 qualification break, Turkish Super League is once again coming into action from tomorrow starting with 8th week games. Main focus of tomorrow will be given to the Galatasaray versus Genclerbirligi game in Turkish media.

Galatasaray head coach Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu unfortunately to him will not have ideal squad at his hand for tomorrow crucial games. Burak Yilmaz is still injured while due of long distance travelling by Fernando Muslera and Wesley Snejder both players will not be in starting 11. However, medical staff has told training team of club that Lucas Podolski which of course will be good news for Haciosmanoglu.

Despite of fact that Galatasaray is currently at 2nd place, it has mixed season with good result in game and bad on next one. Fortunately for Galatasaray, Genclerbirligi is not having great season so far and playing at home Galatasaray might get win which might start winning streak for the team.

Erkan Zengin and Trabzonspor should make Mehmet Ekici to feel welcomed again

Situation with Trabzonspor player Mehmet Ekici and Erkan Zengin regarding of the fight after Osmanlispor has got into new phase today. 
Ekici has told to the media that Trabzonspor has not treated issue in good manner and noone had apologized to him including Zengin at himself. Despite of fact that he says that he wants to stay at the club, he did say that his fate into club is not as same as before.

Both Trabzonspor and Zengin should try its way to make Mehmet Ekici to fill needed and become good teammates with Zengin, because yesterday apology does not seem to solve issue.
Fenerbahce needs to keep Robin van Persie at least until end of season.

Since yesterday there were talks about Barcelona wanting to sign Fenerbahce player Robin van Persie in Spanish media, with rumours intensifying today. According to same rumours Fenerbahce has declined Barcelona offer to sell Van Persie.

Fenerbahce is doing right thing if rumours are true. Robin van Persie is not playing his best football for club and makes some problems but we need to remember Snejder also didnt start good with Galatasaray when he just came. Van Persie still has potential to become key player for Fenerbahce and be very useful for the club.

Fenerbahce should not sell him at winter, in fact it should not sell earlier then end of the season.
