It's very much advantageous when a team is seeded with a number of young players that in their own way are doing really well for the club. It's every club's dream to excel in their dealings.
It's a bigger blessing when the squad is young, vibrant and growing. There's still hope for better and improved performances in coming years. The squad spirit won't just die off easily. Young players in European clubs only means that there's a future for the continental leagues.

 They only need the right hands to stay put and on track to perform better too. There are a number of clubs that's got in their camp promising players and yes they're doing exceedingly well. The teams are promising, they've got the right hands to guide them through.

Galatasaray beat Başakşehir FK 2-0 with goals from Barış Alper Yılmaz and Mertens. Kerem Aktürkoğlu and Nelsson were injured in the second half of the match. I hope they don't have any serious injured because there is a UEFA Cup match in 4 days. The best performance of the night belonged to Mertens. He plays really well despite his age.

Galatasaray beat Başakşehir 2-0. Galatasaray played a very good game in the first half. Actually, we were good in the second half as well, but when Okan Buruk took Mertens off and then put Vinicius on, we had two center forwards on the pitch and we had difficulties in establishing a passing connection in the opposition area. I think Okan Buruk made a wrong change. If Mertens had stayed on in the second half, we would have won this match more easily.

Galatasaray will play against Başakşehir FK a few minutes later. Galatasaray have to win for the title because Fenerbahçe does not lose points. Both teams are too high quality for our league. There is a significant difference in quality between them and other teams and this is seen in the points difference.

Galatasaray's starting XI against Başakşehir FK: Muslera, Berkan, Nelsson, Davinson, Kaan Ayhan, Kerem Demirbay, Torreira, Mertens, Kerem, Barış Alper, Icardi.

Başakşehir FK's starting XI against Galatasaray: Volkan, Lima, Ba, Opoku, Dubois, Josef de Souza, Emirhan, Kemen, Deniz, Figueiredo, Piatek.

What is your opinion on our left-back transfer? Do you think this is a hurried transfer?

I don't know much about Derrick Köhn. The only thing I know is he was playing for Hannover which are a German second league team now. There were actually bigger names being called with Galatasaray but it looks like we couldn't reach an agreement with any of them. Derrick Köhn has a plus of being a young player though. If he improves his game more here we could make a good profit in a probable sale just as we have done with Boey. 

Beşiktaş made one of the best transfers in recent times. Making such a good transfer on the last day is a big move, I congratulate them. I think they have recruited a very useful player not only for the next season but also in the long term. Ernest Muci is only 22 years old and if he can improve himself in the coming years, he can play in one of the big teams in Europe and make money for Beşiktaş

Today Galatasaray will play against Başakşehir FK. Galatasaray beat Samsunspor 2-0 in their last league match. Galatasaray played a very good game in that match. We scored 50 goals and conceded 14 in the league this season. Fenerbahçe scored 63 goals and conceded 18. We are second because of the goal difference. We have to keep winning our games to get the points advantage. We have to wait for Fenerbahce to drop points. On the other hand, Başakşehir are good this season. But not as good as they were in previous seasons. I think we will win this match using the advantage of being the home team.

You not wrong, when some big teams bring in young players with great potential and talent, these players will often be used to improve their playing performance and over time they can really become great players.
Bringing in young, talented players and just letting them sit on the bench is clearly big loss and we can see several big teams such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City who also have several young players but are also used in several matches.
If he does not enter the field for several matches then the player will not develop and of course he cannot become player who can make big contribution to the team that brought him in.
The big European teams already have various star players but they will continue to try to get more young players to make them into even better players, there are advantages in this and of course it can also increase the selling price.

A player who will really pursue career will not be so influenced by certain amount of money but he will really focus on team that can make him turn into much more talented player.

Things are not going well in Adana Demirspor. Their last victory was against Antalyaspor. So 8 weeks ago.

There is a fierce competition for the 3rd and 4th places in the league. The difference in points is very small. Let's see who will finish the league in 3rd and 4th place.

Besiktas as we all know is one of the traditional Turkish clubs who was sometime in the past regarded as the strongest team in the Turkish Super Lig but in recent seasons have not been able to match the competition that's been coming from Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.
However, they've been able to make good transfer moves as well as closing good deals especially in the just concluded winter transfer window and just like many, I'm expecting them to start winning games consistently as the season goes by. Hopefully for the team, they're gonna be fine bounce back to winning ways again.

Those who expected Adana Demirspor to win were disappointed. Kasımpaşa scored two goals in a row in the first half and Adana Demirspor, whose many shots were wasted, suddenly fell behind. The score was 3-0 in the second half and Adana Demirspor was able to score a goal in the last moments. Adana Demirspor, who was defeated at home, is falling to the lower places in the standing, which is the place they deserve. This is what had to happen. Kasımpaşa rose to the 4th place with this victory. For the first time this season, they won 3 matches in a row, two of which were away games. They are having a very successful period.

The latest transfers by Besiktas looks quite good, strong moves. Not only that they are good for now, but maybe good for the future as well, definitely something to look out for. They looked terrible all year so far, and with a manager that is making them play defensive even against weaker teams, they are not looking to improve anytime soon. But this president making moves shows some promises, last one made terrible moves ,said they didn't had any money, and instead used the few amount they had on terrible players. This should very well compensate for that, it looks great, lets see how they will start to play after these transfers adjusts to the team and the manager.

Kasimpasa was unable to score the fourth goal, instead they conceded 1 goal, but looking at the time in which Kasimpasa conceded a goal, it was no longer enough time for Adana to be able to reverse the result of the game, with this victory the Kasimpasa stay in position 4 and put pressure on Besikitas in position 3. If Besikitas loses in their next game, then they will start to worry about being overtaken in position 3 and looking at Besikitas' last 5 games, honestly, the risk of Kasimpasa getting Staying in position 3 gets bigger, this is because the besikitas are inconsistent. Now something that has shocked me is Adana's performance this season, in the last 4 games they haven't managed to win at least 1 game

and with this defeat, they have gone 5 consecutive games without winning, and a very poor result, because they have gone many consecutive games without winning, they have dropped many positions, now they are in position 9 when before they were above that position. This is definitely a disastrous season for Adana, I hope they don't fall further to the point where they are fighting with teams in the relegation zone. Another team that is being a huge disaster is Trabzonspor, which in the last 5 games has also not won in any game, Trabzonspor is being a disappointment this season. I don't know what the trabzonspor coach will do to reverse this very bad scenario that the team is going through

On the last day of the transfer season Beşiktaş made 2 important transfers and broke the transfer record twice on the same day. Before that, the player with the highest transfer fee was Tabata with 8 million Euro. Now they first announced the signing of Muci for 10 million Euro and a few hours later they announced the signing of Al-Musrati for 11 million Euro. Both are very important transfers and have an important place in the planning for next season. They were the moves that had to be made for the cup title and third place in the league this season.

Anyone watching Kasimpasa vs Adana Demirspor match. Although the result of the match is predicted by most people that Kasimpasa will win this match because if you look at the recent performance Kasimpasa have won three of their five matches while Adana Demirspor have failed to make it to even one of their recent five matches.
Moreover, the Kasimpasa team is in the fourth rank of the Turkish Super League standings. Kasimpasa already scored three goals. The first two were scored by M. Fall and A. Kara and the third goal was scored by H. Hajradinovic from the penalty. Currently, the match has passed eighty minutes, and against three goals Adana Demirspor's team has not scored even though they are slightly ahead of Kasimpasa in the ball position in the match. Anyway, I think Kasimpasa can score one more goal till the end of the match and take their position in the ranking one step further with this match.

I think that we couldn't benefit from the winter transfer window much until now. Signing only Aurier and Carlos Vinicius? This isn't good enough.

Carlos Vinicius has been signed just to fill Bakambu's place. I can consider Aurier transfer as okay after Boey left. But I think that a young player transfer to right back position would have been better. We have signed a 6-month deal with Aurier though so maybe we would look for a young and talented right back just as Boey in the summer.

We immediately need to find a player for left back too surely. We shouldn't just manage with players who can play there temporarily.    We are aiming big and our moves should be according to it.

Besiktas is one team in the Turkish League that are to an extent doing well for themselves. Even though they don't get to have a spot in the UCL, they still try their best to earn a spot in the UEL  and while at that segment of the European tournament, they do their best to gain good results. They now have a new president who's got the ability to make the team better.

 The funds will be generated and dispersed accordingly for the team. Besiktas being one of the top teams in the league still has the tendency of rising to a better stance. The arrival of the new president is surely going to make a positive turn around in the team and their game play will be improved too. We hope to see the new Besiktas a few days and weeks from now and see the difference they'd make.

I think these transfers are insufficient right now, I don't know much about the new transfers, to be honest, but I would expect better transfers for a team that competes both in Europe and in the league.
There are 3 days left until the transfer deadline, maybe good transfers can come in the meantime.

Beşiktaş urgently needed a solution for short term. This was the worst Beşiktaş in a lot of people's memory. Bakhtiyor and Necip was not enought at all. There was a big need firstly in defense, then in other positions too. But we can say this year is already lost and no need to make a bad transfer. The thing is, new president, Hasan Arat literally said before the election that all their plans and transfers are ready to make in an instant. There are videos of him saying these. But they only made one transfer now. I don't think there is a need for a rushed and eventually wrong transfer. I would be ok if Beşiktaş don't make any transfers yet but great transfers later. But he promised it for now and it seems bad for the new president. That is the problem.

What I see now is that Galatasaray have transferred only Aurier and Carlos Vinicius in the winter transfer window so far. Will this be enough for them to be competitive for the Super League title until the end you think? Not only for this title though. The fans would be expectant in the Europa League also. Because this is technically a place in which they can be more successful compared to the Champions League. 

I think they would still make use of a left-back transfer also. There are still 3 more days to go for the end of the window. If this transfer doesn't happen then we would probably see Berkan or Barış Alper being used there.
