Fenerbahce got an important confidence boost with win against Gaziantep.

 

Fenerbahce has got a confident win against Gaziantep who has been in very good performance and didn’t lose a game with Burak Yilmaz for 7 weeks as team is getting much more closer to the game which has been seeked from Anderson Talisca,

 

It needs to be stated that when looking at 90 minutes, this has been one of the most calmest game for Fenerbahce as It did control game from the kick-off not providing any signs of control towards Gaziantep with goal as early as 2^nd minute has also played a possible factor for Fenerbahce as Gaziantep has been affected negatively effectively. It also needed to be stated that this has been possibly 1^st time where Fenerbahce did show an attacking focussed game which has been awaited from Fenerbahce supporters. It has been also important for Youssef En Nesyri and Anderson Talisca scoring 2 goals each and gettingg confidence boost prior to Besiktas and generally as those players are having high awaiting and expectations when being into attacking of the whole team.

 

There were much more expectations from Gaziantep as didn’t lose game with Burak Yilmaz during last 7 games but an early goal and also effective game in all field has prevented them to show good game. Even through of result, Gaziantepwould need to make this game to be behind them and focus to upcoming games starting new undefeated run.

 

Fenerbahce did get most clear win since start of the season and has send an important message to both struggling Besiktas and also sides above them with also getting important confidence boost.

 

Galatasaray carries on its unefeated run with win against Goztepe.

 

Galatasaray carries on its undefeated run at the Super League after beating Goztepe at the home ground with 3:1 scoreline despite of getting behind on early minutes as opponent red card has helped side.

 

It was  expected to be tough game for Galatasaray taking account that Goztepe is being one of the most roganised sides at the league and also tiredness from Bodo/Glimt game and it has been case as it didn’t get control of the game which was expected as Goztepe did find some chances and did get some chances as game progressed for sure as red card from Goztepe did play an important role in the game development without doubt. It also need to be mentioned that introduction of Mauro Icardi during 2^nd half has also helped team to show much more stronger attacking game among detirmanation and belief from Galatasaray has been raised.

 

As it is known, Galatasaray would be meeting with 2^nd placed opponent Trabzonspor as it would be pretty tough game so league leaders did get some motivation boost for that game.

 

Besiktas struggles to find solutions for its poor performance.

 

Besiktas carries on its unstable performance withclear lack of motivation and confidnence as it has drawn against Kasimpasa with 1:1 scoreline as opponent also having problematic season without doubt.

 

Besiktas did start game in good manner as it did find opening goal in early minutes and did control game in good manner but as game progressed it did lose that dominance which been mentioned as Kasimpasa started showing much more brave game which led for Claudio Winck. Besiktas carries on showing poor performance and more worrying it doesn’t show any signs that this issue would be solved in near future as Sergen Yalcin does state himself to be case at press conferences including following this game. Besiktas needs to find way to show more attacking and dominant game but before that and more importantly it needs to go through psychologically barrier it has.

 

Besiktas hence are struggling so far this season and does look to have similar fate as past season as being out of title race as early as end of 1^st half of the season.

Trabzonspor has both got confident result and performance.

 

Trabzonspor carries on its improving performance and momentum it got behind them from recent weeks as it got confident win against Kayserispor with 4:0 scoreline and has send strong message for its aims for top spot.

 

At the league, where you cant afford to lose any points if wanting to win title, Trabzonspor ha s managed to get 2 wins back-to-back and also showed before that good performance against Fenerbahce and as team side is improving and has controlled for most amount of gam eeven through it did lose some dominance at the end of 1^st half. Without doubt finding such great goals from all 4 players would provide for sure confidence towards players and would be showing confident performance. During last week it was criticised that team is being related heavily to Onuachu but today performance even if opponent is not being very strong that is capable to show strong dominant wth teamwise.

 

Kayserispor meanwhile carries on showing poor performance as it didn’t provide any pressure towards Trabzonspor and also defensively didn’t prevent much its opponents. This national team break would be great opportunity for side to identify those weaknesses and work on them for upcoming games.

 

Trabzonspor without doubt has send strong message of being one of the candidates for title race as among winning games it also starts showing nice and strong performance as side gets closer to Fatih Tekke wanted team.

 

Fenerbahce got an important win against Nice at Europa League

 

Fenerbahce has got an important win against Nice at Europa League during league stage 2^nd week game at the game where Kerem Akturkoglu has become star player at home ground as he has shown how hungry he was for goal with his celebration.

 

It needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce is slowly started showing performance which has been awaited from them since start of the season and especially after Saran has become CEO and earlier Tedesco appointment as head coach. Fenerbahce it needs to be mentioned didn’t yet shown its best performance during game and it needs to be stated that Nice didn’t come to game at great condition, but it was important to see some structure to be formulated at the team and its been case as team did provide some strong attacking game with Akturkoglu finding great 2 goals with looking and creating chances for himself. Fenerbahce lost that effective game during 2^nd half which could be related from tiredness of intense training sessions.

 

Fenerbahce has continued its momentum which it got from previous game and likely would add on this and aim to show good performance against Samsunspor.

 

Samsunsor get an important win against Legia at Conference League.

 

Samsunspor has got perfect start at the Conference League as it got 1:0 away win against Polish experience side Legia Warsaw as it did win with possibly most difficult opponent at the league stage from them.

 

With Samsunspor quite understandably did come out to provide more organised defensive game, it has been important for them to find an early goal which did come as it was also visible that their did come out with such plan as they got back-to-back chances and eventually scored at 10^th minute.Samsunspor in following minutes did provide some strong defensive game without leading their opponents to get clear chance and when it did its goalkeeper Orkun Kokcuh did do their part. Hence, with good and strong defensive game, Samsunspor has got well-deserved win which would lead them into advantae for rest of the league stage.

 

Among getting advantage this result would also raise motivation and confidence which would have positive impact with upcoming games.

 Galatasaray would seek for confident and early win against Eyupspor.

 

Galatasaray are going to resume Super League after national team break against home game against Eyupspor where it would be aiming to carry on both showing confident performance and carry on its winning run.

 

It also needs to be mentioned that due of Victor Osimhen being currently injured, Baris Alper Yilmaz which had some issues regarding transfer with team would be starting game with whole team and could be expected to show some strong and attacking game. Due of also an away game against Eintracht Frankfurt at Champions League there would be expectations for side to find chances back-to-back and hence to kill game at early moments. Eyupspor on their part didn’t have a good start of the season but due of some good results agains title winners could be coming out with some strong confidence.

 

Galatasaray are being favourites without doubt but Eyupspor could provide some problems to the team at least until it conceeds.

 

Both Besiktas and Basaksehirspor seeing this game as chance to turn around season.

 

Besiktas and Basaksehirspor which does have unstable season so far and did change its head coaches due of that during international team break would be playing against each other with having good new beginning.

 

When looking at quality of team and to some extend to which team game would be more important it could be expected for Besiktas to come out as favourite and also provide some strong and aggrssive game with providing some pressure to Basaksehirspor for most amount of game. Besiktas would also be expected to show more positive game with its head coach Sergen Yalcin with more forward seeking. Basaksehirspor would be aiming to show stronger game compare ot previous ones and might be seen more organised.

 

Besiktas still are favourites and would be able to turn game pressure into positive for 90 minutes for sure.

 

Besiktas loans Jota Silva

 

Besiktas has ended 2025 summer transfer window with an important signing of Nothingham Forest player Jota Silva who would have significant positive impact at attacking midfielding.

 

Besiktas did look for an attacking player during this summer transfer window and it could be mentioned that it did get an important one as Silva tend to be player with forward seeking as he is being loan with transfer option and has all good reasons to show an effective game, Only issue for Besiktas could be that it might him some time to get adapted to new league.

 

Hence, Besiktas did sign an important player who would be expected to show effective attacking game at the field.

Besiktas signs Gokhan Sazdagi for 2+1 years.

 

 

 

Besiktas has signed Kayserispor player Gokhan Sazdagi for 2+1 years as it has been good signing for team as it did get well-experienced player at the Super League despite of playing for first time at big 4 side.

 

 

 

During past 5 years Gokhan Sazdagi has managed to become one of the first names which pop up when mentioning Kayserispor as he did show some confident and strong performance with being one of the names which did help side to get some of the achievements. With such experience and also Sergen Yalcin specifically wanted to see player has been without doubt one of the main reasons for signing player. Only question which could be asked is if Sazdagi will be able to show strong performance at the big 4 as it is being actual risky situation for those teams.

 

 

 

Saying that Gokhan Sazdagi has great potential to have good period at Besiktas as long as he would stay focus at the team task.

 

 

 

Fatih Karagumruk signs Sam Larsson for 1-year.

 

 

 

Fatih Karagumruk without doubt has made an important transfer of Sam Larsson who did show some strong and key performances at last  3 seasons and could help team to get an important role to help to team at least to stay at the league.

 

 

 

Without doubt, Sam Larsson has been one of the leading players at Antalyaspor and did show to be in calibre at mediocre Super League side and hence would be expected to take actually key role at Fatih Karagumruk with bringing attacking game of the team into next level due of his attacking type of the game. He would be expected also to take leading role at the team and he would be able to do so in great manner and as been mentioned push team forward with his performance.

 

 

 

This has been an important transfer for Karagumruk and could lead to some good performance in rest of the season.

 

 

 

Kocaelispor terminates contract with Cihat Cihan Yusuf

 

 

 

Kocaelispor which has been actively mentioned during this summer transfer window has terminated contract with its player Cihat Cihan Yusuf as player moves to Sivasspor.

 

 

 

As been mentioned several times at our blog this summer, Kocaelispor has went through high number and important changes and hence it would need to also reduce its current squad and one of those players has ended being Yusuf with who team didn’t consider to give lots of playing time in lots of season and we saw that he has moved to Sivasspor who has been dropped to 1st league.

 

 

 

 

Kocaelispor might be going through some changes in upcoming 2 days until end of summer transfer window and we would follow all developments.

Trabzonspor has lost its first points of season at Black Sea derby.

 

Samsunspor player Marius goal at the 90^th minute has finished Trabzonspor 100% record as it has lost its first 2 points of the season at the Black Sea which did fulfill its all expectations which were given to game.

 

It needs to be mentioned that  Trabzonspor compare to 3 weeks games did actually provide more effective game as Samsunspor would been first team to actual test side capacity to fight for title, and as  game has went through it could be stated that Trabzonspor did become tired and went too much defensive towards end of the game which has led them to lose 2 points but when looking overall it could be mentioned that Trabzonspor did show some positive game with looking for number of the chances with Onuachu getting an important header and to some extend that loss of points did come after he was substituted. Taking account that Samsunspor is being at good form and being dangerous side it could be understood why team went defensive towards end but it could be more productive at attacks.

 

Samsunspor did show in the start of the season did show that it is being team which didn’t lose much from previous season at least and coould be showing some good performance in whole season as it did get that 1 point due of fighting spirit.

 

Despite of losing Trabzonspor losing its first points, it did actually improve compare to previous 3 weeks but it would need to work on to keep focus and providing strong and condident performance an area which is likely would focus in national team break.

 

Besiktas shows similar performance on field despite of change of coach.

 

Besiktas did come to some extend with new blood as it has appointed Sergen Yalcin in place of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but the team has carried on showing similar ineffective performance once again especially during 1^st half.

 

Besiktas did have some serious issues with getting into game as in similar manner as before Besiktas did show ineffective controllable game and has been slowly at the team which also let them for opponnent to get penalty. Following unsuccessful poor performance during 1^st half, it actually did provide more effective performance in 2^nd half with providing preessure to Alanyaspor goal with getting back-to-back chances but it couldn’t convert and with opponent successful counterattacks has managed to win game with 2:0 scoreline. Besiktas hence carries on having issues with creative aspect at the opponent goal and also converting its important chances which would be main issue for Sergen Yalcin during national team break.

 

Alanyaspor which did win its first league season, has managed to do with provoding patient game with aiming to show organised defensive game and also seeking for chances with counter-attacks and doing that it didi get without doubt an important for them.

 

Besiktas might be changing coach but it does look like performance-wise team continues to have similar issues and hence Sergen Yalcin would mainly focus to find solution to this in national team break.

 

Fenerbahce has showed great bounce back following sacking of Mourinho

 

Fenerbahce has got confident win against Genclerbirligi at away game with 3:1 scoreline at the 1^st game after Jose Mourinho has been sacked as opponent didn’t provide much resistance to Istanbul giants especially during 1^st half.

 

It has been among one of the most anticipated games following Jose Mourinho leaving team and after side has been relegated from Champions League after losing to Benfica at play-off round. It needs to be mentioned that with Zeki Murat Gole taking caretaking role at the position, Fenerbahce did come out with some drastic changes at 1^st half with introducing also new players including Nene who did show some positive performance especially during 1^st half where he provided strong pressure to opponent goal with creating some chances and also some good passes. Fenerbahce hence did get ahead with 3:0 scoreline without much issues and did reduce tempo in 2^nd half during which it has conceded also goal. Stating that, it is hard specifically to state that Fenerbahce has shown specifically strong performance as Genclerbirligi didn’t provide much pressure and has made lots of simple mistakes at defence.

 

As been noted, Genclerbirligi has been pretty passive performance without being too much into game making lots of simple mistakes at defence during 1^st half and does provide some worrying view as it yet to get point during this season.

 

Fenerbahce hence has regained confidence following being relegated from Champions League and also provided some good performance after Jose Mourinho being sacked from his position and does show that it could have reflex strongly after such period and also would enter to national team break with strong confidence.

Galatasaray carries on 100% record even through Rizespor did provide some pressure to team.

 

Galatasaray carries on its 100% record at the Super League after it has beaten Rizespor with 3:1 scoreline even through it could be mentioned that compare to games until now it has been most struggling game for them.

 

It needs to be stated that Galatasaray has started game at good form with getting tempo which it needed and has provided strong pressure towards Rizespor goal with looking for opportunities which led them to find relatively an early goal with Davison Sanchez on 40^th minute which afterwards has led some relaxation from team as Rizespor did create chances back-to-back and did find 2 goals with both correctly being disallowed due of offside but Galatasaray did find another goal on 2^nd half but did make some tasks harder after game has went 2:0 and Rizespor regaining some confidence and did get some good chances but Mauro Icardi on last minute game has killed game. Galatasaray it needs to be mentioned did had some drop from performance compare to 3 games but even taken this account it has shown strong control of the game and in all honesty did look like it would win game without  much issues.

 

Rizespor which didn’t have very good start of the season needs to be praised with an effort which it gave to title holders with providing some issues and despite of result this game could have positive impact to upcoming weeks.

 

Galatasaray hence would be entering to national team break with 4 out of 4 and strong confidence and motivation with making clear to all followers in Turkish football that is being main title contenders.

 

Black Sea derby would be between 2 sides which are at great form.

 

Without doubt, one of the most exciting and anticipated games of 4^th week would be against two in form sides Trabzonspor and Samsunspor as both sides had a great start at the game which would be also Black Sea derby game.

 

It needs to be mentioned that even through Trabzonspor might not be showing a great performance , until 3^rd week it has been among Galatasaray side which had 100% record which means that it has gained confidence and motivational boost prior to this game while Samsunspor among showing good performance at only 1 game at the league so far has also showed strong and confident performance at the Europa League against Olympiakos. It needs to be stated that Trabzonspor meanwhile would play its first game against tough opponent at the league and hence it would be possibly its 1^st test to show if it is capable to fight for title in this season. It would be expected to be tactical game with both sides showing strong organising game and could be with some good tension.

 

Game would be expected to be played as derby as both sides would be able to show if there are in condition to fight for higher spots at this season.

 

Besiktas would open new chapter with game against Alanyaspor…

 

 

Besiktas would come at the Super League game against Alanyaspor with its new coach Sergen Yalcin as he would be opening another chapter afrer team has sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after poor performance of the team during Conference League qualifiers. With Sergen Yalcin would not be having lots of time to tactically prepare, team would be coming out purely at emotionally but new appointed coaches had tend to have positive impact to the teams and it would be expected to be case at the following game and hence Besiktas would be seen as favourites as it would be showing some good performance. Without doubt, poor start of the season for Alanyaspor would make task easier for Besiktas as it would be expected mainly to show defensive game with looking chances with counter-attacks.

 

Besiktas hence would be favourite and it would be interesting to see how Yalcin would impact to the team in such crucial game.

Fenerbahce has got an important win with confident performance against Kocaelispor.

 

Fenerbahce has got its first win during this season at home ground with 3:1  scoreline with providing some positive performance as team has been focussed towards game and did look for chances especially during 2^nd half.

 

Even through there is big difference at quality factor between sides, Fenerbahce did come out as much stronger team but it does need to be remembered that no game has been won without playing and also opponent did provide some good performance despite of not getting any chances. It need to be stated that Caglar Soyuncu possibly has been one of the main highlights of the game as he did provided his best game since joining team as among finding an opener he generally did show some positive game with looking for chances. It could be mentioned that for rest of the 2^nd half, team did reduce dominant game at the field but eventually it did raise tempo with also supporters providing some attacking gae and has found 2 more goals with also creating some chances and team has shown good confident an attacking game and did get well-deserved win.

 

Kocaelispor it needs to be mentioned did try to provide some response and resistance towards Fenerbahce and has managed to do so in 1^st half but quality factor has been played a role and despite of still not winning game it would be expected to show some good performance and get some results in upcoming weeks.

 

Fenerbahce as been mentioned team did win with providing strong attacking game and did regain confidence boost for Champions League 2^nd leg game against Benfica.

 

Baris Alper Yilmaz could have some impact to Galatasaray performance against Kayserispor.

 

Galatasaray are going to meet with Kayserispor at away game as it would be seeking to carry on its 100% record as it would be also played game as team does hae crises with Baris Alper Yilmaz who has been so far best player of the game.

 

Taking account that Baris Alper Yilmaz so far has been best player and also providing most effort during first 2 weeks, his absence could be felt mainly tactically rather than mentally as team would need to play differently. Stating that, Galatasaray would come out as favourites especially taking account that it would be having in its disposal its star players Victor Osimhen and Mario Icardi who would be as always hungry for goal at the field. Coming to Kayserispor, it would be likely to provide organising defensive game and being aware of its strength and quality factor would be focussed more into defence rather than providing an attacking game.

 

Galatasaray are favourites but absence of Baris Alper Yilmaz would likely had an impact how team would be performing.

 

Trabzonspor would get its 1^st serious test against Antalyaspor

 

Trabzonspor would not only be seeking to get a win against Antalyaspor but most importantly to show strong and organised performance with showing more attacking game as opponent also has made 2 out of 2 so far during this season.

 

Both Trabzonspor and Antalyaspor has shown 100% record after 2 games, but it could be stated that Antalyaspor has been provided much better performance as Trabzonspor in all fairness didn’t get very convincing wins and to some extend has been lucky and has used quality factors. Hence, Trabzonspor would be first time meeting with tream which does show stronger and positive performance and hence this could be good test to see how Trabzonspor level and also would be seeking to show very strong performance on the field. Antalyaspor are aware that Trabzonspor performance wie and hence it would be expected them to see brave, positive and attacking game.

 

Antalyaspor could be believing that it could be showing confident performance and would be seeking to show effective and attacking game without doubt while Trabzonspor would need to show more creating and effective game compare to games in this season so far.

Samsunspor did show good performance despite of loss.

 

Samsunspor has played its first game at European football after 27 years as it has lost with 2:1 scoreline to experience Greek side Panathiniakos but did provide some positive performance and does have some hope for 2^nd leg.

 

Despite  of losing to Panathiniakos, it needs to be mentioned that Samsunspor did show some strong and effective performance at the team especially during 1^st half of the game where it has and also part of 2^nd half as in start of that half it has found a great goal and did went ahead. However, mainly due of experience and also playing an away game has led them to lose concentration and control of the game to which Panathiniakos did get behind and ended game with 2:1 scoreline.

 

Saying that Samsunspor did provide some hope for 2^nd leg both with scoreline and also performance which it has shown and certainly it would give its best and fighting during 2^nd leg without doubt.

 

Besiktas defence has provided poor game against Lausanne.

 

Besiktas has once again had an issues with defensive game this time with Lausanne and hence has made both game and whole tie into difficulty as as it didn’t provide very effective performance on the field.

 

In fact, it has been interesting to see that Besiktas which didn’t provide very good 1^st half perforance did actually get ahead in the end of the half and did improve during 2^nd half but that’s half which led for game to be ended with draw. Defence of the game did make high number of simple mistakes it needs to be mentioned and actually Lausanne did convert many chances which they got and better side would be able to get much more confident result. Besiktas did lose mainly of defensive game and this is being an area for sure which it would need to work for improvement without doubt.

 

Besiktas needs to wrk on improving its defence for sure if it wants to get to Conference League league stage as Lausanne might be more effective at attacks.

 

Basaksehirspor didn’t show as dominat game as did Craioa

 

Basaksehirspor did get certainly unexpected result at home ground as it lost to Romanian leaders Univ Craioa as Istanbul side did lack dominant game and did lack concentration compare to opponents.

 

Basaksehirspor, to all respect to Romanian side,is being much more quality side but Craiova did want to win game and hence has provided much more organising game and did create some number of crucial chances with Galatasaray ex-player Cicaldau being one of the scorers at the game. Basaksehirspor did find goal towards end which could provide some hope for 2^nd leg.

 

Basaksehirspor chances to get to league stage of Conference League but it needs to show much more aggressive game in Romania without doubt.

Besiktas couldn’t respond for organised attacking game of opponent.

 

First official game of the season for Besiktas didn’t go at the manner which it was hoping for as it has lost to Ukrainain side Shakhtar Donetsk with 4:2 scoreline as it didn’t provide strong attacking game and also has made simple defensive mistake.

 

With Besiktas making some transfers during this summer so far has provided some hope for game against Shakhtar Donetsk but side didn’t provide performance which would been expected from them as it didn’t provide confident attacking game but even more worrying Besiktas did concede 4 very simple goals as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did have an issue with getting full control of the game. Therefore, Besiktas did look to be one of the serious issue is defensive part as it provided too simple mistakes while Shakhtar Donetsk has shown strong concentration and organising game. Positive note of the game has been with some good attacking game with Tammy Abraham scoring his 1^st goal which would provide him confidence and also good support given by fans,

 

It needs to be mentioned that Arda Turan who is enjoying his 3^rd game at Ukrainian side did have shown that he has made good and organised game which would develop even more and with this scoreline are being favourites at this tie.

 

Besiktas did provide some worrying performance at defence and shows that it needs to improve on this area both for 2^nd leg game and also for upcoming Super League season.

 

Basaksehirspor got small advantage over Cherno  More at Conference League

 

 Basaksehirspor has got an advantage result during Conference League game against Cherno More with 1:0 scoreline thanks to the Ali Sahiner goal as it has shown strong performance despite of getting minumum scoreline.

 

It needs to be mentioned that Basaksehirspor has been shown strong and dominant performance with creating back-to-back chances but did have some issues with finalising chances as it had lacked final touches and in some moments has been managed to overpass Cherno More opponent. Despite of not getting goals, Basaksehirspor has managed to stayed at the focus of the game and despite of not converting did create some more chances and in overall did control game and get as been noted advantage scoreline for 2nd leg. After getting ahead Basaksehirspor carried on controlling game and did provide without doubt optimistic view for 2nd leg game.

 

Cherno More did come out as underdogs and game has been developing in such manner as it been mainly providing defensive game and still managing to keep scoreline at 1:0 does keep chances alive for 2nd leg game.

 

 Basaksehirspor hence did get a small advantage but it would need to find an early goal on 2nd leg to make this tie in more confident manner for sure.

 

 

Genclerbirligi signs Pedro Pereiro for 2+1 years.

 

 

Genclerbirligi has signed Alanyaspor player Pedro Pereira for 2+1  as Super League leaders newcomers has once again made an important step for competitive side for next season.

 

 It needs to be mentioned that generally speaking Genclerbirligi has been quiet side at the summer transfer window bas player did get an important player who did show some good performance at Alanyaspor on previous season but didn’t get enough playing time on previous season. Pedro Pereira meanwhile as been noted is being familiar to this league and could be taking an important role at the team for upcoming season and help side ot stay at the Super League foremost without doubt.

 

 Genclerbirligi did make an important transfer but it would need to build on and our accounts would follow all developments at our accounts.

It needs to be mentioned that case with Caner Erkin he is slowing coming in the end of the footballing career and possibly could even announce his end of career at short notice. It needs to be mentioned that Eyupspor does currently going through with some important changes with lots of players ending career at the team and hence it would be expect to reduce average age at the team possibly focussing into younger potential players which also could improve its performance if it would achieve this in window.

Alanyaspor did sign an important potential player for next season and now would need to focus to show his potential and quality to coaches during pre-season training camps.

Rizespor signs Furkan Orak

 

Rizespor has announced that it has made transfer deal with Erokspor player Furkan Orak hence making its first signing during this summer transfer window as it has strengthened with young and potential player.

 

Furkan Orak it needs to be mentioned did provide some good performance at Erokspor in the 1^st league during previous season but it needs to be mentioned that it is unclear if he would be ready for Super League level and to some extend could be seen as good investment for future of the club but stating that he would have good time to prove himself to technical staff during pre-season training camp which would start in July. Still, it has been good transfer in sense of potential of the player for sure.

 

Our blog accounts would follow all latest developments as always at Rizespor as it needs some more transfers during this summer.

 

Galatasaray has made deal for 4-year extension with Yunus Akgun.

 

It is reported that Galatasaray has made extension deal with its player Yunus Akgun for 4-years as he has been seen as an important player at the team for near future.

Official announcement of the transfer is being expected to be made at short period of time and our accounts would announce as soon as it happens.

 

Everton interested to sign Fred

 

It is reported that Everton are strong interested to transfer Fred as Fenerbahce would also aim to sell him for good value as there is expected to be big revision of foreign players.

 

To some extend, Fenerbahce still would like to keep Fred so Everton would need to provide some good offer as he is being difficult player to replace without doubt and even through there were some decline with performance during previous season, his awareness of surroundings at the football field which could be seen from passes does make standout and show him as being important player. With taking this into account Jose Mourinho and Fenerbahce administration will not sell him that easily.

 

It would be interesting to see how much effort would Everton provide for this transfer to happen hence.

 Trip to USA had some bonuses for Turkish National Team

Turkish National Team trip to USA for friendly games against USA and Mexico has been mixture of the performance especially taking account that it did win game where it didn’t show specifically good performance but lost one where it did.

 

Playing against two of the World Cup 2026 hosts and at the host country has been an important aspect for gaining experience for the tournament and possibly also setting mind and motivation for qualifying games. However, tiredness from previous season did affect into team performance both mentally and physically at the field. Even through Turkey didn’t necessarily show its best performance, it was clear that players and technical staff did come out to the game with an aim to win game as effort and motivation has been pleasant at the squad. It was also important for some youngsters and new comers to be called to the team as some of this could be competing at World Cup next season so its been important for them to get adapted to the side.

 

Turkey hence did have good period at USA for two friendlies game and did gain confidence, motivation and to some extend experience for upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

 

Memik Yilmaz has been reelected as Gaziantep CEO.

 

Gaziantep CEO Memik Yilmaz has been reelected as club’s CEO once again as he did play a leading role without doubt for club to be promoted once again to the Super League.

 

As being case for almost all clubs at the country, Gaziantep are also going through diffiicult economical condition but due of right spending of money and finding investments Memik has managed to keep and even more more competitive side which has ended at 2^nd place at 1^st league and get direct entry to Super League. With taking this into account it was quite expected for him to be reelected and with having experience at top league it would be expected for him to carry on playing leading role and push team forward with an aim to keep this side at the Super League for longer period of time as for long time it has been among sides which been associated with Super League.

 

This win hence has been expected and now Memik as been noted is to work on positive signs which there is at administrative part of the team and help team to move forward for next season.

 

Panatiniakos signs Basaksehirspor player Ahmed Touba

 

Panathiniakos has transferred Basaksehirspor player Ahmed Touba for 1 million euro as player has shown some good performance while being loaned to the side as Istanbul side has been considering to sell him.

 

Hence, it could be mentioned that transfer move has been good development for both sides as  been noted Touba did have some good spell at Greek side and got chance to get more playing time compare to his previous stay at Basaksehirspor. This move for sure would open some transfer window for Basaksehirspor and as it aims to have better season compare to previous season it would be starting for some new names an attacker player is expected to be main priority for Basaksehirspor without doubt.

 

Hence, Basaksehirspor would be looking for Touba replacement and our account would look for latest developments.

Besiktas didn’t deserve to end 3^rd when looking at team performance generally

 

Besiktas has ended season with impressive win against arleady relegated Bodrum with 4:0 scoreline but last minutes goals from Samsunspor has led side to end season at 4^th spot.

 

Even through it could be argued that Besiktas did do its best side to get 4^th spot, if Samsunspor loses points in their game which would mean 2 less qualifying rounds, in general Besiktas didn’t provide much performance which would make this spot for them deserved compare to Samsunspor. Positive note from this game has been for Mustafa Hekimoglu to find his first 2 goals at the league and provide some hope for Besiktas as being rising star at the team for future.

 

Besiktas did have dissapointing season without doubt and would need to make some crucial changes to make once again competitive side for title in next season.

 

Al–Duhail sings Krystof Piatek for 11 million euro.

 

Al-Duhail has signed Basaksehirspor player Krzystof Piatek as Istanbul side did lose one of its main players at the squad as he did complete as best goalscorer this season.

 

Stating that, transfer fee for the transfer has been 11 million euro which hence without doubt would provide an important budget for finding his replacement as long as Basaksehirspor would act more active as it would be competing at Conference League next season. Piatek without doubt did leave some good performance as he did take leading role at team would be expected to carry on such performance at Al-Duhail.

 

Basaksehirspor did lose hence one of its leading players and now it would need to focus to find strong replacement for him which might even raise team performance next season.

 

Samsunspor makes deal with Logi Tomlinsson

 

Samsunspor has announced that it has made 4+1 year deal with Stromsgodset player Logi Tomasson as team would be building strong team for next season.

 

Samsunspor would be aiming to build team which would be competitive both at Super League to repeat its success and also for Europa League without overpassing its budget and once of its signing has been Logi Tomlinsson. Tomlinsson is being player with some good potential and could be showing some good performance. Without doubt, Samsunspor would be focussing to sign as many as players prior to start of pre-season training sessions and making deal in such short notice with Tomlinsson would help to get adapted to team.

 

Samsunspor has started its summer with good potential transfers as it is expected to be one of most active sides at summer transfer window.

Besiktas has ended season with confident scoreline but still didn’t end season at 3^rd spot.

 

Besiktas has ended season with 4:0 scoreline at away game against relegated Bodrum but with Samsunspor winning its game against Kayserispor due of goals scored at 2^nd half extra time still has ended at 4^th place.

 

Besiktas did provide high focus into game with a focus to win game at the game where Mustafa Hekimoglu scoring 2 goals and hence becoming star of the game. Besiktas did what it aimed for during this game and could be praised that team has been much more focussed compare to previous week but Samsunspor has used its advantage at its own game effectively.

 

Besiktas hence ended with good scoreline and now it would be focussing to summer where it would make side much more competitive both at league and Europa League.

 

Fenerbahce has won despite of not showing strong game until 75th minute.

 

 Fenerbahce has ended season with a win against Konyaspor at the game which has been dominated by low number of supporters but ones who did come to stadium showed some negative reactions to team.

 

It needs to be mentioned that prior to 75th minute, Fenerbahce did show strong and confident performance at this formality game and this willingness of being big team and winning last game at home with also Konyaspor switching off did lead for them to end season with a win.

 

Fenerbahce does look to be having some active summer as future of both CEO Ali Koc and head coach Jose Mourinho is not being entirely clear and there might be some activity at the team at upcoming months.

 

 

 

Ali Koc has created chaos at the team and he is not aware of it

 

 Both Fenerbahce players Dusan Tadic and Edin Dzeko has left club prior to Konyaspor with modest celebration at club’s facilities kitchen and flew away earlier on the day.

 

Both players didn’t want to make big farewell event at the stadium due of high tension at the club with supporters believing that there would be some negativity given. Such decision to some extend has been mainly fault of Ali Koc who is failing to go through such period at healthy manner and creates tension between supporters and team players and club. Ali Koc statements regarding of election to be taken place on September and also self-focussed statement and criticism for early election only creates such gap.

 

Therefore, it does look like Ali Koc has created huge chaos and gap between supporters and he doesn’t want to take responsibility of this.

 Title winners end season with a win.

 

Title winners Galatasaray has completed 2024-25 season with a win against Basaksehirspor at home ground with 2:0 scoreline as game as would been expected has been played at festive manner.

 

Among celebrations this game has also had saddened mood as it was last game at the club for Dries Mertens and also living legend of the team Fernando Muslera and hence this game has been focussed into 2 players as supporters and general game has been entirely focussed to this two players. Galatasaray has stayed focussed into winning game and hence end season as champions even through players did spend celebrations but it also needs to be mentioned that for Basaksehirspor also coming for formalities has affected this game.

 

Basaksehirspor had a mix of the season and hence after such tough season to some extend did affect concentration as it also played against side which been in great mood. Still, Basaksehirspor did get Conference League ticket for next season.

 

Galatasaray hence ended season at manner which it deserved as it was also good farewell for Dries Mertens and Fernando Muslera.

 

Trabzonspor ends season with a win

 

Trabzonspor ends poor season with a win against Antalyaspor with 2:0 scoreline and did win against side which didn’t lose for weeks at home ground but again it needs to be mentioned that it has formality game.

 

It needs to be stated that Trabzonspor head coach Fatih Tekke did main come out with academy players who did final game only some weeks at Youth League and getting such opportunity did provide some good performance which did also push to some extend to show some good game at the field.

 

Antalyaspor without doubt did focus to end season with win as it did in previous games but game being formality led for lack of focus and has direct impact for final result.

 

Trabzonspor hence did end poor season with a win but without doubt it needs to do some revision in summer and also possibly try to raise role of academy players at main team.

 

Fenerbahce supporters expect to take centre stage at game against Konyaspor

 

Fenerbahce would be ending 2024-25 season at home game against Konyaspor as it would be formality game for both sides and it would be more curious what reaction would Fenerbahce supporters will give to team and its administrators.

 

With Fenerbahce ending season at low point despite of being runners-up there is expectation for to be low amount of fans being present especially taking account that kick-off would be at 16:00 but number who would be present are expected to provide hostile environment as was case at last home game. Fenerbahce would be out of mood and focus while Konyaspor did have stressful season as it aimed to stay at the league for time-to-time.

 

Hence, it is expected to be game with low tempo and chances as low amount of supporters of Fenerbahce expected to be taking centre stage.
