What happened in Turkish football today? 30.12


So far Galatasaray and Besiktas are main clubs which particularly focused into transfers.

As we are getting into the mid-season break at the 2015-16 season at the Turkish Super League the biggest attention at the media has been turned into once again into the transfers which will be taking place this winter. One of the main questions among which clubs at big 4 needs more transfers to be made and to what areas.

Despite of being leaders at the league main attention so far was given to the transfer negotiations which are taking place at the Besiktas. It is known that club has mainly focussed to transfer goalkeepers and defence so with high number of attacking football which turn into goals it would also lead to concede few numbers of goals at the league. Great goalkeeper and defence will be big assistance for club to carry on fighting for the league title. So far, club has successful negotiations with Dnipro goalkeeper Dennis Boyko and defender Douglas, who are very close to join club. With both players coming with moderate transfer fee Besiktas will be able to solve defence issue without losing too much cash.

Galatasaray are also among the team which needs lots of transfers and revision at its squad. Club needs more players who are willing to providing fighting spirit in the way as players like Selcuk Inan and Burak Yilmaz provide at their best form. The focus of Galatasaray currently is to make team which will work as one unit and have a will to become champions. Hence, such high number of names at Galatasaray transfer list.

One of the main achievements of 2015 was performance by Turkey at the Euro 2016 qualifier. 

One of the main stories of 2015 has been incredible return of the Turkish national team at its Euro 2016 qualifying stage from where from almost being out of competition it has managed to get to the spot where it has qualified as best 3rd team and got straight tickets to the France with 1:0 victory over Iceland at the last game and big help from Kazakhstan against Latvia.

Even through Turkey was lucky to get that spot, it needs to be remembered that Turkish National
Team didnt lose any single game during whole 2015 with getting an important points from Holland especially and other crucial games during the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. Turkish National Team head coach Fatih Terim has made players believe that their would succeed and demanded fight until the end. At short, as it said in Turkey "Turks dont say over until the end".

Turkey performance would be among biggest attention given at the Euro 2016 as even through it qualifies rarely whenever it does it becomes most talked team during campaign. Turkey should get through group stage with opponents like Spain, Czech Republic and Croatia.

Arda Turan can make 2016 as his year.

Arda Turan will finally be able to play for his club Barcelona as club ban will be lifted. As been expected, sports media and fans in Turkey were waiting for this to take place for number of weeks and finally in few weeks time Arda will able to make his important start for Barcelona.

Arda Turan could become one of the key players of 2016 in Turkey if he provides great performance both at La Liga with Barcelona, Champions League and Euro 2016. It is really expected that with competing at Barcelona we would even have see stronger Arda Turan with the experience which he will recieve by playing at great club like Barcelona next to players like Neymar Jr, Messi, Suarez and others.

Arda Turan should be among players to be watched not only by Turks but whole world. He could finally prove to whole world why he could be seen as one of the best players who are currently playing football. We really hope he would achieve that.
