Mircea Lucescu debut has been very dissapointing.
Turkish National Team head coach Mircea Lucescu debut has been very dissapointing and poor as the team has played very important game against Ukrainian National Team to get qualification or at least play-off spot hopes higher for the World Cup 2018 and has now put its task very difficult for last 3 games.
Ukrainians has controlled game from start to end showing an upper hand with control of ball, creating chances and showing good defensive football in other words it did everything what Turkey didnt do which has led for game to be one-sided. Such a poor performance from Turkey has been provided a big dissapointment as national team players didnt seem to get into the game and didnt care much about it. It was discussed prior to the game at this blog that Turkey does have a strong advantage of Mircea Lucescu who is aware of Ukrainian football very closely but he didnt seem to use this knowledge at all during game. It is needed to be reminded that both Ukrainians goals didnt need to be counted as 1st was offside and other was coming from out, but even without that chances Turkey will not win the game.
Ukraine has deserved to win this game while Turkey needs to come themselves or their wont have any chance to win Croatia with who it would meet on 5th September.
Fenerbahce are interested to transfer Alanyaspor player Emre Akbaba.
Fenerbahce are interested to transfer Alanyaspor player Emre Akbaba who as been discussed for long time has a great capacity to play for strong teams in the Turkey and their were strong interests from big clubs during this summer.
As it is known summer transfer window would be closed on 8th September and with top European leagues window has arleady been closed during last few days the main focus of Turkish clubs is now being concenctrated at the Turkish teams negotiations. There are rumours that Fenerbahce might be able to make deal by offering its player Aatif Chachehouhue to Alanyaspor in return of Emre Akbaba which does look like a good offer indeed and could be shown some interest by Alanyaspor. However, as usual this are only transfer rumour and its not known much in what stage are those negotiations are right now.
If Emre Akbaba does move to Fenerbahce it could be a good chance for him to show himself at the big team and show his capacity as quality player.
Akhisar Belediyespor are interested to transfer Galatasaray player Ryan Donk.
Another transfer rumour going around Turkish sports media are talks that Akhisar Belediyespor are interested to transfer Ryan Donk, a player which Galatasaray wants to sell.
As it is known its great chance for average teams to use an opportunity to purchase good players with high quality but who has shown pretty poor performance at top 3 teams and this is what Akhisar Belediyespor tries to achieve right now. Firstly, the transfer could be made at reasonably low price as team wants to sell him and secondly the player might improve at more calmer team with less pressure and might end up being winner with such a transfer. Therefore, regardless how much Ryan Donk is not showing great performance lately, this transfer could be a good deal for Akhisar Belediyespor at the end of the day. Since transfer window is coming to close we would see how those talks would be concluded between sides.
It is likely that Galatasaray wont raise much problems with selling to Ryan Donk and would keep transfer fee at moderate price.
