Topic: Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season - page 115. (Read 18130 times)

Because of tight schedule many matches of bigger clubs are delayed this week for good. I am looking forward to Sivasspor Antalyaspor match tonight personally. Antalyaspor is getting better with new transfers. Lately Dario Saric joined from Palermo. Sivasspor got new striker Rey Manaj. When I compare them, surprisingly, Sivasspor feels like they have bit weaker team this season, normally they would be lot better. Can fix with transfers.
Draw may happen at this match.

This is what they are trusting as well. They are planning on making it possible for them to see other nations (usually the big five) end up closing their transfer window, and register their squads, and see who they do not need. That way you can get players for cheaper. This was one of the reasons why Galatasaray was able to get so many good players at the last second last season, maybe it was even a mistake to get this many player this early this season, some? sure, but all this didn't need to happen. In any case, I think its quite important for them to wait, and in a week or so they will be able to see who they can get for cheap, and Turkish teams in general will get better.

the first game of this round was held today, Konyaspor played against Gaziantep FK, this was the first game of this round, it was a game where Konyaspor managed to win the game in a comfortable way, they managed to score 2 goals in this game and not they conceded no goals, with this result Konyaspor has 3 games without losing, while their opponent Gaziantep FK with this defeat, they have 3 consecutive defeats, they are at the bottom of the table, so they can be the favorites for relegation . tomorrow we will have more games, trabzonspor will play against rizespor, in this game despite that trabzonspor comes to this game with a defeat in their last game I see them getting out of this game with a victory

in my opinion, rizespor is not a very strong opponent, so trabzonspor has chances to win the game, rizespor in 2 games could not win in any game, the maximum they achieved in the 2 games they played was a draw. tomorrow there is also Kasimpasa's game against Pendikspor, in this game I see Kasimpasa as the favorite to win the game, they in the last 2 games had 1 draw and 1 victory, while their opponent Pendikspor had 1 draw and 1 defeat, likely Pendikspor will fight to come out with a draw in this game

tomorrow's most unpredictable game is Sivasspor's game against Antalyaspor. Sivasspor in the last 2 games had a win and a defeat, they come to this game with a win, so they come motivated, while their opponent Antalyaspor in the last 2 games had a draw and a defeat, so they come to this one game with a draw in their last game, knowing that they haven't won any game yet, they will strive to come out of this game with victory. in my opinion Sivasspor if they don't win this game at least they will come out with a draw

We still have 3 more weeks to go for the end of the summer transfer window. Because as far as I know the deadline for the window is September 15 for the Turkish Super League teams.

This is more than enough time for teams to make their last additions to their squads. It can still be quite active for top teams in my opinion. Because this season is really important for especially the teams competing in European competitions at the same time. They need to be as successful as possible for helping the country coefficient rise more. Turkey has already entered top 10 which has helped this league gain more quota for European competitions. The higher the success rate the better this season.

Fenerbahçe finally solved the goalkeeper problem and signed a contract with Livakovic. Accordingly, a transfer fee of around 7.5 million Euro will be paid and Livakovic will protect Fenerbahçe's goal for 5 years.
Livakovic, who has a very good performance in the national team, actually has a big question mark since he hasn't played for a team other than Dinamo Zagreb.
Fenerbahçe has been having problems with foreign goalkeepers for years and cannot get the desired efficiency. Let's see if this bad luck turns upside down this time.

It is really hard for any player to actually redeem himself after going through such a bad time in his career. So it is definitely going to be hard for Philippe Coutinho to actually perform as well as he did once with Liverpool. I definitely do not think that the performance is going to be like that ever again from him.

Probably the Turkish league will be good enough to be consistent. And at the moment I am not sure if the 5 million is proper for him, I really do not want to comment about his salary at this moment. We will see how he performs after he actually joins the Turkish league. We would know if the salary is proper for him then.

Beşiktaş worked on the transfer of Talisca and Ramos until a few days ago. They met with Talisca and his club and also met with Ramos. However, a few days after these negotiations, they cited financial conditions and announced that they were abandoning these transfers. I think the news about Besiktas and Coutinho doesn't reflect the truth because if Besiktas were in a position to pay that kind of money, they would have done it for Talisca or Ramos. I don't think Beşiktaş can pay 5 million euros per year for Coutinho. I think this news doesn't reflect the truth.

Philippe Coutinho is rumoured for Besiktas. It is reported that Besiktas are preparing a salary offer like 5 million euros a year for Coutinho.

What do you think about Coutinho? He was a really great player with impressive skills in the past. But since the day he joined Barcelona he hasn't been himself. Now he isn't an admired player as much as in the past. If he was Besiktas couldn't have signed him though.    I don't know if he can improve his performance in case of signing for Besiktas. But while there is an opportunity it looks like they will go for him anyway. I wonder if he will be like Dele Alli or do better than him.

I bet that they are going to be fine. I am not really following them closely  but I follow the league to bet on them and I can see that they are almost always favored to win their games. Just because they didn't once, doesn't mean that they will keep being bad. Plus they got some late transfers like you said, which means that they are going to get better with time when those players get in shape and start playing.

I feel like no team that ends up being favorites for most of the games they play should be considered that much of a big deal, it's really just something to expect and consider possible to win the league as well. I am not saying they will, but we can't say that they do not have that possibility neither.

I agree that the transfer season is late for Beşiktaş. While the transfer season was opening, while the transfer of Dusan Tadic was being talked about, his rivals Fenerbahçe transferred him. Tadic is currently playing a very good game in Fenerbahçe. I'm sure Beşiktaş fans wish they were with us. Chamberlain arrived late, other players' transfers were late. At this stage, Beşiktaş, which also played in European matches, lost points. I wish there was a fiery championship race this season. I hope they can reach a higher level as a team in the near future.

Yes, Fenerbahce have really been after this goalkeeper for a long time period. Livakovic impressed everyone by his performance in the latest World Cup you know. After that even some big teams started to be speculated with him. Recently I have even read the news that Real Madrid are interested in him. But they signed Kepa instead. This was a good chance for Fenerbahce to complete the transfer of Livakovic in a short time before a bigger team tries to intervene.

When it comes to Altay Bayindir I don't know what really happened with him. He was a promising goalkeeper once but suddenly his performance got much worse. I don't think he would have much chance at Manchester United either.

Same could be done about organizations. If the referees here do not have a good way to continue and they keep making mistakes after mistakes, they could just hire refs from other nations and that has been a topic of discussion at twitter as far as I can see.

I am obviously not that much well versed in Turkish football but from what I gather at some football influencers and their replies, Turkish teams suggested they should get some good ref organization to come in and not only end up with ruling the games but also have some educational system for younger refs as well. That way there will not be any possible way for them to fake it or make bad decisions, they will not have any personal favorite, or any influence they should care about from the top.

Fenerbahce is a great team in the Turkish Super League, so it is still natural that Fenerbahce managed to get three points again on the second matchday of the season. Also, Samsunspor is just a promoted team and it would not be surprising if in this match Samsunspor lost from all statistics because after all, it is clear that Samsunspor does not have the quality to be able to beat Fenerbahce. With a victory for Fenerbahce in this match then yes, at least managed to make Fenerbahce can be at the top of this temporary standings, and it is still good for Fenerbahce for the start of this season.

Fenerbahçe continues its transfer season at a fast pace. Looking at the latest developments, we can say that Altay Bayindir will transfer to Manchester United. We can say that this transfer may have been forced by the fans in a way. The fans were not supporting Altay in the matches and wanted him to leave. We can say that they finally succeeded. Instead of Altay, Livakovic will be in Istanbul and Fenerbahce will have taken a really good step in terms of transfers. We can say that they have strengthened every position and Ali Koç, who now wants the team to be champions with a definite language, has been generous in spending money this year. I think he has won the hearts of the fans with these transfers. If the championship comes at the end of the season, the team can find the strength to continue its presidency. Because we know that he will pay most of the transfers in installments. We can say that this will be a plus for both him and the new incoming administration if he loses in a possible election. He thought of everything and calculated how Fenerbahçe would get the least damage from these transfers. He should really be congratulated. I can say that this year Ali Koç is having the best year of his presidency.

Fenerbahce have finally reached the happy ending about Livakovic transfer.    Fabrizio Romano tweeted about this transfer an hour ago. On Wednesday he is going to have his medical and sign for Fenerbahce. This was a really needed transfer for them honestly. Because Altay's performance has been horrible for a long time.

On one hand Altay has also had his medical for Manchester United and he is going to be signing for them soon. Manchester United have accepted to buy his release clause.

Fenerbahce must be really satisfied with these news coming with a short break.

Last night, Fenerbahçe defeated Samsunspor 2-0. Both teams had many goal attempts but these attempts weren't still find the target mostly at first half. We watched a better Fenerbahce in the second half. Szymański is a much better quality football player than Mert Hakan Yandaş. I would like to watch Szymański last night with Fenerbahçe jersey for 90 minutes.

Its not good to the league this kind of start, seeing two of the contenders already having a tie in only two games, im refering to Besiktas and Galtasaray, i know its too early but i dont want to see a big gap b etween contenders.

In other things, what a bad start for Basakshir, two loses, really bad for them.

Ankaragücü drew 1-1 with Adana Demirspor. I expected more goals in a game where both teams had plenty of chances, but both teams struggled to capitalize on these chances. The goals came in the first half. In the second half we observed a drop in the performance of both teams.
Fenerbahçe won the Samsunspor-Fenerbahçe match by playing a good game. In the first half, Fenerbahçe played a dominant football and had the upper hand, but could not find a goal. Fenerbahçe started the second half with speed and energy. With the goals of Dzeko and Szymanski they got 3 points and took the lead.

There is no league that uses the VAR system so badly. There isn't much to say.

I like both teams tonight, I think they played very well. Of course Fenerbahçe played better and got 3 points.
The second goal was nice.

All team's fans have the right to complain about it. So far, many teams have lost points or even championships due to mistakes made by referees, whether intentional (Many old referees admitted) or unintentional. There are even teams that have scored goals by referees (like Beşiktaş). Unfortunately, even after the VAR system, we still have referees who cannot properly manage a match. If it were a building, I would say tear it down and start to build again, but these are human beings who don't seem to learn from their mistakes. Therefore we are  only able to complain about it .
