Galatasaray lost to Sturm Graz in the last friendly match in the Austrian camp. Galatasaray fans were not satisfied with the football played.

Galatasaray will play the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round first match with Zalgiris Vilnius 4 days later. Galatasaray reported its squad to UEFA for the Zalgiris Vilnius match.

Galatasaray | Squad
Goalkeepers: Muslera, Batuhan, Berk.
Defenders: Dubois, Angelino, Ross, Kaan, Nelsson, Emin, Abdülkerim, Kazımcan, Boey.
Midfielders: Midtsjö, Berkan, Oliviera, Torreira, Emre, Morutan.
Forwards: Kerem, Yunus, Zaniolo, Mertens, Halil, Yusuf, Barış.

Alexandru Cicaldau and Taylan Antalyalı are not in the squad.

Even though this friendly defeat took me by surprise, seeing the ball possession statistics that are far in comparison between the two is very significant.

They need tactical changes so they don't repeat the defeat again in the next match, even though this is a friendly match the defeat still makes the fans disappointed.

It is said that Galatasaray have signed Cedric Bakambu and he was supposed to arrive in Istanbul today. But interestingly Transfermarkt says that Al-Nassr signed him on a free transfer at the beginning of this month. I didn't understand why he would join Galatasaray not even after a month going there. Anyway if that's true then Galatasaray would be in a better situation before the Zalgiris matchup as they have had only Halil in the centre-forward position before.

By the way I heard Paredes continues to reject every offer coming from Galatasaray. Hence they had better look for another defensive midfielder.

I always felt like Dorukhan was mediocre player at best. He didn't deserve to be first eleven player in any of big 4 teams in our league I suppose.

Dorukhan was playing really good football when he was first selected to the national team, but then he got injured and could not reach his previous performance again. Trabzonspor made the right decision by terminating his contract. According to a news I read today, Adana Demirspor made an agreement with Dorukhan. Adana Demirspor have experienced players such as Belhanda, Nani and Ndiaye. He was transferred to the best team except the 4 big teams in our league. He's still young. If he shows a good performance in Adana Demirspor, he may go back to his old days, but I don't think it's too likely.

Fenerbahçe transferred Samatta to PAOK for free. Samatta couldn't find his feet at Fenerbahçe and to be honest my expectations were high when he was first transferred, but he couldn't adapt to the league and left Fenerbahçe unsuccessfully.
Fenerbahce managed to add another stopper.Rodrigo Becao was signed from udinese and I think he was a very good signing.Livakovic and Zaha transfers are still pending. I hope they are aware that while filling the team with foreigners, some players need to be parted ways.

Trabzonspor announced that Dorukhan Toköz's contract has been terminated. This Dorukhan, 27 years old, is now clubless when he should have played in his prime. We saw how unstable he was when he left Beşiktaş.

Meanwhile, Fenerbahçe will pay Dusan Tadic 4.2 million Euro per year. Beşiktaş would never have paid such a salary. He wouldn't even get half of that. Fenerbahçe again spent too much money for nothing. Paying 8.5 million Euro to a 35-year-old player for 2 seasons is nothing but really turning the team into a nursing home together with 38-year-old Dzeko. If their costs were low, they would be understandable transfers, but as it stands, it creates a financial burden on the club.

I always felt like Dorukhan was mediocre player at best. He didn't deserve to be first eleven player in any of big 4 teams in our league I suppose. On the other hand I also agree that Fenerbahçe is very very exploited with this new veteran players. Its ridiculous. I mean I would call if Galatasaray did same... Galatasaray did something similar only with Icardi which already prove his worth last season. Fenerbahçe may really suffer this season financially.

I dont see that so much, the ammount of money who worht every team sometimes its not close to reality, a lot of price are overinflated and also for example if you ahve some old player his amrket value its gonna be quite low asides of he can be Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. And in the oposite side you can have one young that only for his potential can worth 100 million.

The difference I see on transfermarkt (which is not always %100 true of course) is that Galatasaray worths 170+ million and Zalgiris worths 8 million. There are players worth nearly 3+ times the whole club so it should not really be a problem. I am not saying that it will be "easy", but it should be easy without a doubt.

Of course there are cases in the football world where the better teams ended up losing to much worse teams so we could have something like that and we shouldn't really be worried about it, but at the end of the day if it's about getting better then I am sure that the team will get better one or the other way and will win this one. There are still some more games to play after this, so it's not like win this and go to groups.

Zalgiris is going to be an easy peasy opponent for Galatasaray on paper. There is a huge squad quality gap between two sides above all else. Some people talk about the Tromso incident in the past. But what is in the past is in the past. Galatasaray are playing with different players and a different coach as well. Okan Buruk has done really good so far with the management. Now the squad is being strengthened more with new arrivals. They are building a squad that could do nice things in the Champions League.

However Icardi transfer still hasn't been completed officially. I have read that his wife's health isn't in good condition now so his priority is his wife for now.

Easy win for Galatasaray if they are concentrates in the game. The real matches its gonna be in next round , but you cant understimate you opponent.

THe other problem sometimes its the coach its still testing players and tactis, so they use this kind of games to keep testing, and sometimes you can pay for that.

From Fabrizio Romano on Twitter:
Besiktas are set to sign Brazilian CB Lyanco from Southampton, here we go! Deal agreed between all parties ⚪️⚫️🦅 #Besiktas
Understand Lyanco will sign contract valid until June 2027 — he will fly to Turkey tomorrow, Wednesday.

It looks like Beşiktaş finally found their new stopper. Now Saiss can go to any team he wants. On defense, Omar Colley and Lyanco can play together, there are also alternatives.

Now it's time to get a player with a very strong physique to the midfield and a good player to the wing who can both score and assist. If these 2 important transfers are made, the first 11 will be formed. Quality Turkish players should also be recruited in terms of squad depth, but the priority should be getting 2 important names for the starting 11 first.

Fenerbahce is again making big deals during the transfer process. First a big star like Dzeko, now another big football player like Tadic. Fenerbahce's squad is dazzling. While we all reading that a great player like Tadic had agreed with Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe signed Tadic. I think it is a big disappointment for Beşiktaş fans.

It was really interesting to have such a transfer. He came to Fenerbahçe when everyone was thinking that he would come to Beşiktaş. We can say that there was a slight shock. Football is like that, you think it's done, but suddenly the players in the team can change

Fenerbahçe built a strong squad and looks like they will play much better this year

I agree with your opinion. Fenerbahçe has built a stronger squad better than in previous years. In my opinion, Tadic will in adding huge qualities to Fenerbahçe. Tadic played as a player who scored a lot of goals and assists last seasons. He is a player with a "double double" performance at previous years. Fenerbahce I think will have huge succes season come both Turkish Super League and Europe Conference League.

Besiktas are really losing their targets to their rival teams one by one. First Halil Dervisoglu and now Dusan Tadic. They already don't seem to have much funds to use for transfers and this makes things even more difficult for Besiktas side. So far there isn't any impressive transfer by them and I'm curious how things will go in the coming days.

Galatasaray have already made their squad very solid and Fenerbahce are going on in the same direction as well. Besiktas need to be able to answer them somehow with good transfers otherwise I don't know how much they can be competitive for the league title this season for now.

Beşiktaş doesn't seem to afford huge budget compared to Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray. Long years of unsuccessful seasons made them lose tonnes of money. I don't think their revenues are as high as Fener or Galatasaray anyways. They have smallest fanbase all between 3. They may do panic last minute transfers that may end up even worse than last season. They at least try to achieve signings with some young talents as investment to future. Fans may understand if they announce their future plan.

This season they have gotten some big names, I do not know much about any other teams but I have seen Galatasaray and Fenerbahce on Fabrizio a lot which shows that they are getting some great players, I have seen Dzeko and Tadic for Fenerbahce, and I have seen Angelino and Icardi (still not official) for Galatasaray, and those are some big names for sure.

I feel like they are going to be pretty great and we are going to see these two teams do very well in the European games they play, there is of course no guarantee and they may not be that great but I feel like it is going to be quite possible for both of them to be out of group stages, depending on the draw of course, if they draw a good group, they can both do that.

Fenerbahce isn't slowing down on there quest to make their club the strongest in the Turkish league and the signing of big players like Edin Dzeko and Tadic will surely go a lone way in adding huge qualities to their side.
Besiktas who was close signing Tadic will surely regret losing him to their rivals. Fenerbahce I think will have a good season come next season in not just domestically but also I. European competitions

Ali Koç had to make radical decisions and spend a little bit of money and we can say that he has finally started to do this.The addition of such star and experienced players can be shown as important steps towards the championship, but I don't think these transfers will be enough.Tadic has played as a player who scored a lot of goals and assists during his seasons at Ajax.He will be a great contribution to Fenerbahçe.He will most likely be a winger, but I'm not sure.Tadic will wear the number 10 jersey at Fenerbahçe and this can be seen as an indicator that he can actually play behind the striker.

Ali Koç was criticized for not transferring star players to the team in previous seasons. He is handing out money to star football players this season. However, this time he receives criticism that he did not transfer the right players. As a matter of fact, I consider some of these criticisms to be justified because Dzeko and Tadic are really old football players. I'm not sure if these players can play for 90 minutes in all matches in the league. If they do not become champions in the league next season, they will have to grapple with many problems within the team.
