With the way Icardi got injured and probably ended his season, having Osimhen definitely helps Galatasaray a lot more now. I mean it looked "useless" transfer as in that wasn't the place they needed a transfer in, they didn't "need" a striker, they had Icardi, who has been the goal scorer last season, and was pretty crucial one year before that, but looking on third season, Osimhen was just a transfer they did only because they actually think it was worth it, it's Osimhen, if you can get him then you get him, that was literally the only reason.
Now, looking at it, if they didn't have him, they would be playing with Batshuayi and that wouldn't really be ideal for them, it would be not enough for such a club. Imagine going from "osimhen is my main striker" to "batshuayi is my main striker", that is a huge drop. Don't want to offend Batshuayi, he is a great player, but Osimhen is a top 5 striker in the world, so it is not the same thing at all.

The biggest reason for falling behind is the lack of proper team planning. We have a very good striker but no backup player. There are no wingers, there are no backups for the fullbacks, there are many good players in the midfield. There is no squad depth. There is no settled starting 11, every week a different squad takes the field. There is no game system that is played according to the available squad. All this translates into ineffectiveness in front of goal and therefore not winning every game.
Another reason is the chaos in Türkiye and those who deliberately fuel it. The referees' deliberately unfavorable decisions also led to the loss of points. You cannot always beat the referees by playing well. But if the opponents win with the help of referees even when they play badly, it's inevitable that the point difference will widen. A third of the season is over, the order is not going to change. That's why we need to play better and find a way to defeat those who protect this system.

It was a match where both teams played the ball, created positions and scored many goals. Galatasaray defeated Samsunspor 3-2 in their home match at Rams Park. Samsunspor explained their current points standings this season with the game they played in this match, they fought well. Osimhen showed off today, he started scoring extra goals in every match, he warmed up the team well.
It was good to take it slowly and open up later, just as it should be, we are talking about Osimhen. Osimhen provides physical superiority, that is why some of his in-game moves are criticized a lot, it may seem that way with the struggles of other players because their physical capacities are low.

Galatasaray left a tough match behind with a victory. It was a very important win for them on their way to the championship. For me, the most important moment of the match was Abdülkerim Bardakçı's and Davinson Sanchez's overhead kicks. Because it is a rare event in a match for a stopper to overhead kicks. After this position, the stands became very lively. Galatasaray are making optimum use of even their defenders in attacking organizations. Okan Buruk, who was at the center of controversy at the beginning of the season, must be sipping his whiskey right now.
Fenerbahçe played their best game of the season against Sivasspor. It's nice to see the team reacting after the embarrassing loss to AZ Alkmaar, but this isn't enough for Fenerbahçe, as they are still 5 points behind the league leader, Galatasaray.
Osimhen is a player far above the Superlig level, so no one will be surprised if he scores more than 30 goals this season.
Osimhen a strong candidate for challenger to be top score in the Superlig this season.
Osimhen is a player far above the Superlig level, so no one will be surprised if he scores more than 30 goals this season.
If Osimhen continues to play in Galatasaray until the end of the season, I am sure that he will be the top scorer of this year. Of course, if he leaves the team after the new year, then such a thing cannot happen. In the absence of Icardi, Galatasaray needs a goal scorer, and Osimhen would be the right choice for this role. He is definitely a player far superior to the quality of this league

True as you said Galatasaray won the match and maintained their unbeaten record this season so they are very comfortable at the top now with a big points difference so I doubt any other competitor can shift their position or I can say from now on the Turkish league trophy belongs to galatasaray.
And in that match osimhen scored two goals I see he is getting sharper.
But on the other hand I appreciate the resistance shown by samsunspor at least they did not lose too much.
The final result 3-2 for the home team's victory.
Yes, the result as I expected, Galatasaray won the match.And in that match osimhen scored two goals I see he is getting sharper.
But on the other hand I appreciate the resistance shown by samsunspor at least they did not lose too much.

Galatasaray played aggressively, they are very motivated to win the match at home. They scored very early in minute 3', Osimhen was the player who scored the first goal. In minute 55', Osimhen scored the 2nd goal. And Batshuayi scored another goal in minute 85'. Galatasaray actually really dominated the match, they deserve to win the match. Unfortunately, Samsunspor got 2 penalty kicks, they scored 2 lucky goals. Anyway, Galatasaray leads the table with quite big gaps now.
It is true that Osimhen becomes sharper in Galatasaray. He has enough time to play, he also gets good supports from everyone there. I heard a rumor that Galatasaray wants to sign Osimhen permanently. If Napoli doesn't want him anymore, Galatasaray could have the chance to sign him. But I think another team will try to sign Osimhen again, it won't be easy for Galatasaray to sign Osimhen.

Galatasaray's desire to transfer Osimhen should be the club that wants to transfer him the most right now. He has shown what he can do in such a short time and his harmony with the team. Osimhen's staying in the team will bring many gains. Many clubs will intervene, there are already a few rumors floating around. To be honest, I don't believe we can get him permanently, it will be a big surprise if it happens.

This is not new about Jose Mourihno and we can just say that is part of his uniqueness. He has received red cards several times as a coach of different clubs and even been disciplined on many occasions due to his actions or utterances and he doesn't seem to be willing to change that.
He is a great coach and I would say that one of his greatest strength is the boldness he exhibits. This was instrumental to his successes in most of the clubs he has managed. I wouldn't want that to be used against him rather it would also make more sense if he is more selective with his words.
Agreed, that's the man's character and we can't take that from him...if he has something on his chest that is bothering him, he will say it as it is, and considering the influence He is a great coach and I would say that one of his greatest strength is the boldness he exhibits. This was instrumental to his successes in most of the clubs he has managed. I wouldn't want that to be used against him rather it would also make more sense if he is more selective with his words.
that the man has..this is a timely eye opener that needs an improvement in officiating of games...Anyway Fenerbahce plays Sivasspor later on today, let's see what the chosen one bring today
A coach who never sits still has always been like that for years.
It was an important win for Sivasspor, after the national team break there is also a match against Kayserispor, we need to go through such matches without any losses if they want to stay in the league race, Mourinho and his team.
Samet Akaydın scored the first goal for Fenerbahçe in his first match after a long break. Sivasspor was not given any concessions in the second half either.
I also read in the press that Osimhen wants to stay at Galatasaray. We see that he is happy at Galatasaray. But his permanent transfer cost is not easy even for Galatasaray. I think the most reasonable solution for Galatasaray is to keep him in the team until the end of the season. Icardi got injured and closed the season. It would be great if Osimhen stays with us until the end of the season. But I won't blame him if he leaves in the winter transfer window. He joined Galatasaray in the prime of his career. He gave us great moments.
If Osimhen has said to stay, it will be easier to sign him permanently. I think Galatasaray will try to pay his transfer fees. I think Napoli won't set a too high transfer fees anymore. However, I'm a bit worried that Napoli wants Osimhen to return to Napoli main squad. Osimhen keeps showing best performance in Galatasaray, this attracts attention to all people. How if Conte suddenly wants him to be the main striker of Napoli? If this happens, Osimhen may try to accept the condition and plays again as Napoli main striker. But we don't know what his decision, it is not impossible that Osimhen has no longer interest to stay in Napoli.

Osimhen has build a great bond with Galatasaray fans and would want to stay but it'll be a hard decision for him, Napoli and his agent. The Napoli club is demanding that the Turkish club pay a net fee of €75m, and Galatasaray is offering €50m. However, Mourinho wants him at Fenerbahce and the club is ready to pay more than his actual price.
More suitors awaits Osimhen including Chelsea, leaving Galatasaray a slim chance of retaining him to their squad.

Galatasaray won 3 points by beating Samsunspor 3-2. It was an enjoyable match, Osimhen scored 2 goals and continues to do so.
Unfortunately, referee mistakes continue.
Unfortunately, referee mistakes continue.
After the Tottenham game in the UEFA Europa League, we beat the second placed team in the league. We continue to win one after the other. I want to talk about one detail about Okan Buruk. Mitchy Batshuayi and Hakim Ziyech played well. Okan Buruk put them in the game at the right time. Hakim ziyech had an assist, Mitchy Batshuayi scored a goal. Okan Buruk did his part in this match. I don't expect very good decisions like this from him in every match. But some matches we have to win in the tactical field.
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.

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.

It was indeed a very dramatic match tonight with both teams in top firing form. At a glance one would think that Galatasaray will easily disgrace their visitors but that was not the case because the winning did not come without sweat. Samsunspor did very well with their come backs but then, Galatasaray was not ready to share the points. Their star-boy, Victor Osimhen seems to be in his best form lately as he has maintained his superb scoring records, netting two goals tonight just like he did during the Europa league match that saw Galatasaray defeating Tottenham 3-2. It shows the money spent on him is never a waste. It was good to take it slowly and open up later, just as it should be, we are talking about Osimhen.

Osimhen performed exceptionally in every match he participated in, after some time ago successfully contributing two goals against Tottenham in the UEFA Europa League, Osimhen again performed exceptionally by contributing two more goals against Samsunspor. and this result further strengthens Galatasaray to continue to be at the top of the standings and become a team that is undefeated in its first 11 matches in the Turkish Super League.
And indeed this match was quite dramatic, because leading 3-1 over Samsunspor at the end of the match, making Galatasaray's position quite safe, but when the referee awarded a penalty kick for the second time in the 90+3 minute it resulted in a goal for Samsunspor and made the score 3-2. In this position Galatasaray was quite under pressure because they had to maintain their advantage, but fortunately the referee did not give too many additional minutes, so Galatasaray could maintain their advantage and become a victory that was quite valuable for Galatasaray.
Galatasaray played their most challenging game of the season in the Super League against Samsunspor today. Galatasaray weren't in this difficult condition even in the Kasimpasa game in which they lost points. However they took another step forward by being victorious in this challenging game also thanks to Osimhen's great finishing.
It was a very important win for Galatasaray. I was wondering if we would see any problems in the team after Icardi's injury. Fortunately, Osimhen is still in this team, and thanks to the 2 goals he scored today, Galatasaray managed to win 3 points in this critical match
Samsunspor is one of the best teams this year. They play very competitive football and have won everyone's appreciation. They could have won the match tonight too
Previously, I also thought that losing a key player like Icardi would affect their sharpness, but that it no happen, because Osimhen has now proven that he can be relied on in every crucial match, the two goals he managed to create in that match have led Galatasaray to be an unbeaten team while this is an unbeaten team at the moment, as well as those two goals have made Osimhen a strong candidate for challenger to be top score in the Superlig this season.
