Lukaku is a brilliant player with so much energy but the only problem he has is scoring because he always misses his chances of scoring but however irrespective of his inability to be consistent in scoring but we cannot totally dispute the fact that he is a good player, however he is currently playing very well on Roma, so perhaps I believe he will become an assets on Fenerbahçe because sometimes leagues is one of the thing that enhances the performance of a player because we no that among all the leagues Turkish league is one of the easy league compare to the ones Lukaku has played on, so I believe that his coming to Fenerbahçe will add to the advantage Fenerbahçe has on other teams, so with the look of things if Fenerbahçe get Lukaku and few more players they will become unstoppable and possibly Galatasaray may not longer have a chance against them unless they also work on themselves.

In this season that will start, Fenerbahce will have a new coach, although last season they were very close to winning the league, yet the coach was replaced. Mourinho is already Fenerbahce's new coach and has already started work, when I saw this photo of him during training



I immediately thought: "he will have a very difficult task this season", the fans, the management and the press have high expectations that he will be able to win the league, and also after a long time without him winning titles, this is a good chance for him to raise his name again, if he manages to win the league, if he also achieves good results in European competitions, I believe that the big clubs would start chasing him again. So this is a great opportunity for Mourinho to save his career in order to return to coaching big European teams, but if he fails, he doesn't manage to achieve anything in two seasons, then his name will be forgotten by the big teams

The media will be watching Mourinho's style of play a lot, and as I said, this is a good chance for Mourinho to stand out, get more attention from the big clubs, he needs to adopt a more offensive style of play, something that allows the team can score a lot of goals and also needs to be able to have a good defense, it won't be an easy task if he doesn't get good players in attack, and so far I haven't seen any big changes in the Fenerbahce squad, maybe Mourinho doesn't see the need for big changes

Last night the transfer of the year took place. Beşiktaş dropped the bombshell and brought in Rafa Silva. I still can't understand how Benfica didn't renew his contract. How can you let such a superstar go? It was a great transfer for Beşiktaş. This is a transfer that will change the balance in the Turkish league. Moreover, getting such a superstar without paying a transfer fee is a very big deal. Rafa Silva will continue his goals and assists in Türkiye. A very important step has been taken towards the championship. A very good squad is being built.

Former Chelsea player has actually shown quite good playing skills with the contributions he has made to Fenerbahce over the past two season and Michy Batshuayi has also become one of the mainstay strikers in the Fenerbahce squad.
If look at how he played for Fenerbahce, it is actually quite shame about his departure and Mourinho should have been able to keep one of the best players, Michy Batshuayi departure could certainly be threat and also loss for Fenerbahce considering that he will play for Galatasaray.
If Mourinho doesn't get the right players, he will difficulty able to lead Fenerbahce to win the Turkish Super League, they lack really sharp attacking players and vacancies could cause the team stability to decline.

For Alvaro Morata himself, when he was still playing with Juventus, he had begun to show how great he was in creating goals and assists, then playing with Atletico Madrid made him more experienced player and had more advanced skills.
If Fenerbahce can really get Alvaro Morata then obviously that is very good news and he could be replacement to fill the void left by the departure of Michy Batshuayi, but whether it is easy to get him, Fenerbahce will not only have to spend money but convince the player.

Compared to Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, we can say that they have not made very good transfers. But their spending limits are half the size of Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. Therefore, they have to use their budget efficiently. Ozan Tufan, Anthony Nwakaeme and Denis Mihai Dragus, who played for Gaziantep FC on loan last season, are good players who have played in the Turkish league before. We know what they can give to Trabzonspor. John Lundstram and Croatian left-back Borna Barisic can also overcome the adaptation process successfully. Because these two players were signed at the beginning of the season, not on the last day of the transfer window.

I think they are good signings in general, but Trabzonspor couldn't build a squad good enough for the championship. With this squad they can only fight for the top 4. Nwakaeme and Dragus are good signings, they have no adaptation problems, it's more or less clear what they will give. Ozan is already Turkish, there is no problem with him either. Lundstram and Barisic are coming to a new culture. Will their adaptation be fast, will they perform well in this league, these are question marks. The early completion of transfers is an advantage for Trabzonspor. I can say that the quality is average overall.

Yesterday, I mentioned that Trabzonspor was active in the transfer market. Today, Trabzonspor officially announced agreements with five players. In my previous message, I covered three of these footballers: English midfielder John Lundstram, Croatian left-back Borna Barisic, and Ozan Tufan. The remaining two players are Trabzonspor’s former player Anthony Nwakaeme and Denis Mihai Dragus, who played on loan at Gaziantep FK last season.

With Batshuayi's departure, Fenerbahçe are considering Alvaro Morata as a striker. Even though he is still under contract at Atletico Madrid, Morata has a 12 million Euro release clause. Roma, Juventus, Dortmund and Manchester United are also interested in Morata. However, with the Mourinho factor and the 4.5 million Euro salary offer, Fenerbahçe can finish this transfer. Morata would do really well in the Turkish League. He will almost certainly be better than Batshuayi.
Fenerbahçe is again spending a lot of money on transfers, but the championship they were expecting has not come for ten years.

Fenerbahçe is going to have such a big budget to spend on transfers this summer and I'm curiously waiting for their moves. There are so many players being rumoured.

For example Lukaku has also been among those. He is an experienced scorer however not very consistent these days. I'm asking to Fenerbahçe fans here, would you like to have him in your squad now?    He has been in Euros so far as well but I can't say he is impressive. He still tends to waste 100% goal chances. He is doing good in the Serie A though but we never know what he can do in the Turkish league. He didn't even play that well in the Premier League. 

There are many transfer rumors circulating. Michy Batshuayi is said to have reached an agreement with Galatasaray, and this transfer is aasumed complete. Additionally, Trabzonspor is reportedly having active days in the transfer market. They are said to have reached agreements with English midfielder John Lundstram, Croatian left-back Borna Barisic, and Ozan Tufan.

I would say that between Batshuayi and Wan Bissaka, Galatasaray could literally stop with transfers and just go about their way without anything else. They just need to get Wan Bissaka and stop, no more selling any players, no more buying players, just THAT.

Well, this is the team that got 102 points last year, and won against everyone, and this year they do not need anyone else than a right back. They had back-up striker as loan, so they are getting rid of him, and replaced him with Batshuayi, and that is a good one because that player knows the league very well and scored bunch of goals so far, I think it would be quite smart to stop after these two, if they keep trying more and more, it could be terrible like Tete and Ndombele and Aurier type of transfers, just get what you need and stop.

Fenerbahçe made a big noise by bringing in Mourinho. Galatasaray, on the other hand, have been quiet in the transfer window but have been filling the missing areas with the players they need. Batshuayi is one of these transfers. A spot on transfer for Galatasaray who want to strengthen their forward line next season. I don't understand why Fenerbahçe didn't want Batshuayi. He has a good goalscoring percentage and if he plays consistently for Galatasaray, he is an important candidate for top scorer. Most of the players on the list are the ones who will help Galatasaray dominate the league and stay in the Champions League. Wan-Bissaka would be the right player for the right back transfer.

There are so many names being rumoured with Galatasaray lately. Some of them are below.



There are even many more names who aren't mentioned here. Batshuayi is already signing for them though. Wan-Bissaka is another name who is close to joining them. Truthfully, it would be a wonderful right-back transfer for Galatasaray. He is still a young and skillful player.    They can use him like an offensive back especially.

McTominay rumour is also pretty interesting. If they finish this transfer too Galatasaray midfield would level up surely. He can be useful in various positions of the midfield.

Initially I also thought that Arda Guler would be able to be brought in by Fenerbahce according to Mourinho wishes but in reality he would not leave Real Madrid because leaving Real Madrid would be the same as him losing the opportunity to become much more popular player.
He is young player who has potential and playing with Real Madrid will make Arda Guler player with more titles in European competitions, course if given the choice, Arda Guler would definitely choose to stay.
Real Madrid will not sell him and if he can leave perhaps with loan option, Arda Guler will be very valuable for Real Madrid in the future and he just needs more games to gain more experience and improve his skills.

But considering that Mourinho failed to bring in Arda Guler, he had to look for other options and there are several names that Mourinho is targeting, one of which is Lukaku.

Ancelotti is always making positive statements about Arda. But he doesn't give him enough time. I think this is a negative situation for Arda. He should play more and develop more, but he might spend next season on the bench. I don't trust Ancelotti's statements, he's an opportunist trying to save the day and reassure everyone. To be honest, I wouldn't want Arda to return to Fenerbahçe even on loan. Last season there was a fierce rivalry between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. If Arda returns to Fenerbahçe, everything could turn in Fenerbahçe's favor.

Galatasaray signed Batshuayi, who had great stats for Fenerbahçe last season. His contract with Fenerbahçe had expired. He had very good stats at Fenerbahçe. He scored 44 goals and 5 assists in 75 games for Fenerbahçe. But last season he was left on the bench while Dzeko started. He didn't deserve to be on the bench. I think it was the right decision for him to choose Galatasaray.

The way Arda Güler is performing, and the performance that he has already shown with Real Madrid with such little chances that he got, I am pretty sure that Real Madrid is not going to let him go anywhere. Real Madrid is going to keep him very close. Yes, I absolutely agree that the goal he has scored for his country was absolutely incredible. It was beautiful to watch.

I am also pretty sure that Real Madrid is not going to let him go anywhere because the Real Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti has also said that he has big plans regarding Atda Guler. And a lot of gloves also approached Real Madrid to get him online but Real Madrid declined those offers.

I think Real Madrid adopted Arda Güler too much and I don't think they will send him anywhere. He showed himself in Real Madrid, now he is playing in national matches and as you said yesterday, he scored a perfect goal. As I said, I don't see it as very likely. I only see Arda Güler in Real Madrid for now.

Absolutely, the situation may change in his later years. They spent so much effort and money. Real Madrid will not give up on Arda Güler anymore.

You need to remember the currency ratio though, getting those big names costs a lot, and only a few teams at the very top do afford to have a few of those good players, like how Icardi is getting paid a lot, but that is not common and only a few players in the whole league gets paid like that.

When you put it that way, does it still worth it to spend that on Di Maria? Not saying that he wasn't great, he used to be great, he used to be so great that he wouldn't play in this league even if you offered twice what you offer now, but right now? Not entirely sure, I feel like right now he doesn't worth spending that limited supply on him. I would rather see someone who is like maximum 30 years old or so, which means he could still be sold later on.

Arda Güler scored a great goal in yesterday's match. It might be one of the most beautiful goals of the tournament. He is a great footballer. He has the ability to change the score at any moment. I wonder if he had played for Fenerbahçe last season, would Fenerbahçe have been champions? There were rumors that he would be loaned to Fenerbahçe this season. As a Galatasaray fan, I wouldn't want him to transfer to Fenerbahçe. I think he has the quality to change the whole balance. And if he had played for Fenerbahçe last season, he could have made Fenerbahçe champions.

I agree, these type of stars plays for Real Madrid level of teams first, and get paid a bit but then get a lot of wins at great places, then they grow old and normally they would be padi very little at bad teams, but they move to smaller leagues and keep getting paid a lot.

Like normally teams like Real Madrid would not even get him anymore, and even if they did, they wouldn't pay a lot, but a team like Besiktas could pay him 10 million a year, just to have that name, even the jersey sales alone would cover the half of that transfer anyway, so it is not a big deal. I think we should consider how Di Maria would fit the team before they do that though, I do not know their squad but I know that they did terribly last season, so I am sure they need a lot more players.
