The voting process for the Turkish Football Federation presidential elections has started.
There are two candidates for the presidency.
İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu and Mehmet Büyükekşi
Fenerbahçe president Ali Koç stated that they would vote blank.
Let's see who will be the TFF president, I hope Mehmet Büyükekşi goes and İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu becomes the president, we can try that too.

Fenerbahçe made good transfers but they still couldn't bring a star player, they haven't fulfilled most of the promises they made in the elections. Saint Maximin is a good player but he doesn't have finishing skills, he only dribbles, let's see how he performs in Fenerbahçe.

Fenerbahçe announced the signings of Cenk Tosun, Oguz Aydin and Saint Maximin one by one. Cenk tosun transfer is probably an important character for the reserve rotation. As for the transfer of Oğuz Aydın, we can say that he is a player who can play on the wing or in the midfield when someone leaves. As for Maximin, I think he is a player who can dominate the Super League if he makes a good start.

But don't you think these transfers aren't satisfying considering what Ali Koç promised?    After bringing Mourinho they seemed like there would be big names coming to the club this summer. But so far only Saint-Maximin could be considered as such transfer. I guess Fenerbahçe fans are also uncomfortable with the situation as the time is running out slowly in the transfer window.

As a Galatasaray fan, I'm also not happy with our being very silent so far though. Transfer news has started to arrive new like Elias Jelert who is a right-back.

We have so many areas to consolidate such as:

• Signing a good central midfielder to play beside Torreira - I don't think Kerem Demirbay is good enough for especially European competitions.  
• Bringing a new right winger by selling Tete. Zaha - Ziyech duo are also inconsistent in fact.
• I believe it would be nice to sign another good left-back to make some competition against Köhn. He is really good offensively but not the same as for defending.

But do not forget that Mourinier is a follower of defensive tactics, so Fenerbahce’s performance may even decrease slightly. Fenerbahce expectedly revived on the transfer market, it was expected that Mourinier would attract new players to the team. It seems to me that now more people have begun to follow Fenerbahce, after all, Mourinho is a significant personality in the world of football and with his arrival at the new club, it becomes interesting whether he will be able to repeat his great achievements once again.

Fenerbahçe have added Saint-Maximin, Cenk Tosun and Oğuz Aydın to their squad. In terms of Fenerbahçe's squad depth, these transfers are the right ones. The wing area will be the most important area for Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahçe this season. There are very important players on the wings. Oğuz Aydın will be one of the players who will shine this season if he improves himself. Cenk Tosun, on the other hand, is an experienced player who will very well complete the centre-forward area that Fenerbahçe is lacking. I think Fenerbahçe only needs a star striker and if the striker is bought, I can say that Fenerbahçe will compete in all competitions this season without any difficulty.

Beşiktaş continues to build a good squad this season. We can say that the transfers they have made so far will strengthen them significantly. The only problem is that they currently have 20 or 21 foreign players in their squad. They need to part ways with 8-9 of these players. Let's see how they will proceed. They have a friendly against Shakhtar Donetsk in 2 days, so we will decide slowly.

But last season Strasbourg managed to get through and escape the Ligue 1 relegation zone, but even so it still shows that Strasbourg is not strong team and can be said to be stable team.
We have seen it, Fenerbahce managed to beat Strasbourg with an absolute score because Fenerbahce won with 4 goals without reply, in this match everything belonged to Fenerbahce and Strasbourg was really under pressure.
In friendly matches we will never be able to find an advantage in improving Fenerbahce performance, because they only play against team that are really weak or can be said to be at level below them.
We can see it in the UCL qualifying round matches and if this shows victory for Fenerbahce then it can be said that Mourinho has had good start, there is great hope in the UCL competition even though it is difficult to fight for the title.

Your message has nothing to do with mine, why did you quote me?
The friendlies are used to see the performance of the players in the teams and to determine whether they will play in the new season. The scores are irrelevant. Both Mourinho and Giovanni van Bronckhorst are newcomers to this league, they are trying every player and measuring their performance to get the squad they have in mind.

Smart planning is important in transfers. This season the foreign rule has changed again. There is no obligation to play 3 Turkish players in the starting 11, but teams can have a maximum of 12 foreign players. That's why teams are trying to let go of their excess foreign players. They can't make new transfers until the ones they have are gone.

Icardi is the right comparison. But Immobile is 34. Icardi is 31. Icardi will be in his 3rd year in the Turkish league. This will be Immobile's first season. I think Immobile is a good transfer after Rafa Silva. But the annual salaries of these two players will create problems in the team. Because if they perform below expectations, their annual salaries will be a matter of discussion.

Beşiktaş will not be able to earn Champions League income. They are pushing their budget too much. They may have problems in paying their salaries in the middle of the season. This could lead to their early withdrawal from the race.

In last season we have good activity in Saudi League which was matter of concern for the few peoples here but now in current season we are having enough spending with few good names joined Super League mean things are taking changes and having player like Ciro Immobile with the price of €6 Million mean clubs are taking risks with amount like this having good names from the UEFA top clubs making interesting changes as few are having concern about his performance most chances we will have some improvement and things will be also good for the Besiktaa because they are doing good job in this season.

With this signing, Besiktas will surely having good improvement, and now they can give challenge to top two clubs with their strength and quality which are they bringing here.

I confess that I was very surprised by the fact that Fenerbahce managed to score 4 goals in that friendly match and didn't concede a single goal, because in the last match, which was also a friendly match, Fenerbahce lost and failed to score at least 1 goal and I know that Hajduk is a strong Croatian team that's why I started to get worried that Fenerbahce might not have any chance in the European competitions, but with this victory against a weak Ligue 1 team, it gives me a little hope that in the next game is possible to have a good result. The next opponent will be Lugano in a qualifying game for the European Champions League, it will not be an easy game, but Fenerbahce needs to win if they want to go into the second leg with some comfort and move on to another stage.

Immobile was a really great scorer but like I said he was. His goal statistics look really poor for the recent 2 seasons.



He looks like he can't concentrate on his game in the recent times. This might look worrying for Beşiktaş fans considering that the team are preparing to pay 6 million euros every year.    But we never know of course. For example when Icardi signed for Galatasaray, he wasn't able to score many goals for PSG and couldn't play properly too. But after joining Galatasaray things have changed a lot. He has become the most valuable player for the fans. 

The cost of Ciro Immobile has been revealed and it seems to be very affordable. A 2-year contract was signed for 6 million Euro per year. It's a really big job to bring such a great striker. Beşiktaş made the transfer of the year in the league. I wonder how Immobile will fit in with Rafa Silva. We can comment more easily when the players who will play on the wings are announced, but it's already possible to say that Beşiktaş has solved the goal problem they had last season.

Fenerbahce won the match with the goals they scored in the first half.Fenerbahce played with the same squad as last season.There were 2 different players in the starting 11 and they were Bartug and Ryan Kent.We can say that both of them had a good performance.Fred's contribution to the team is incredible.When this team is reinforced at the end, there will be no problems if the squad knows each other.

After Jose Mourinho, fans from Fenerbahçe club thought that they would get a star transfer player to the team, but so far it has not happened. I don't see any transfers for the main squad. We know that the management is still working on Jose Mourinho's transfer list. They have played two friendly matches so far.

Admira Wacker and Hajduk Split had the opportunity to show themselves in these friendly matches. The faster the players adapt to the team, the better, and it would be much better if the remaining transfers are clarified.

This source says Immobile is going to earn 8 million € a year at Beşiktaş? Can this be true? Because as far as I know Capology is one of the reliable sources when it comes to player information.

If it is true it must be some kind of a record in the Super League right? Some sources like Transfermarkt are saying he is going to make 6 million € a year. Even in that case it is a huge amount. 

Beşiktaş can really be regretful for paying this amount to him if he doesn't score so many goals or make a big contribution together with assists. His last season stats look really scary also.

Beşiktaş have signed a 2-year deal with Ciro Immobile. He will have the same contract as Rafa Silva. The two players will earn 6 million Euros per year. These are very high prices in Turkish conditions. Beşiktaş made very good transfers. But I think they may have financial problems.

Of course, it is not right to criticize this already. Because if Beşiktaş become the league champion and these two players play with an average of 10 goals and 10 assists, no one will criticize these transfers. But if Beşiktaş fail to become champion and the performance of these two footballers falls below expectations, everyone will criticize these two transfers first.

tomorrow fenerbahce will play against strasbourg in a friendly game, strasbourg is a Ligue1 team that last season was fighting to not be relegated, so we will see how fenerbahce will do against a small Ligue1 team that despite being a Friendly game, it is important that Fenerbahce win to give the players and fans more confidence for the next game, which will be a serious game. In my opinion, Mourinho needs to improve Fenerbahce's attack so they can score more goals, last season Fenerbahce managed to perform well in attack but sometimes had problems in defense, which caused the team to lose points precisely at moments when they were close to or above Galatasaray and this has always made Galatasaray, which is consistent, win the league

It will be difficult to win the league if they can't have other good players in attack, defense and midfield, and if Mourinho fails to win the title I think the criticism has started to become hell for him and this will make the situation worse of him who is currently not seen as good enough to be hired by the big teams, he needs to achieve great things in Turkey, looking at the bad history that Turkish teams have had in European competitions in the recent times that I have been following football, I see mouriho needing a lot of luck to win the first serious game, both the first and second legs I see fenerbahce with little chance of winning

Currently, Fenerbache is actually still trying to recruit a new striker who they will plot on the front line later, even though Mourinho has currently become Fenerbache coach, but I don't think this has been able to convince European star players to play for Fenerbache at this time, several players previously it was reported that he was getting closer to joining Fenerbache but this failed to materialize after the players were interested in other clubs, not because the attraction  from of Fenerbache and Mourinho has gone but I think currently the poor quality of the Turkish Super League is still a consideration for many players to play in current turkish league.

Fenerbache had so far recruited Allan Saint Maximin on loan from Al Ahli and Çağlar Söyüncü from Atletico Madrid and Apart from these two players, it seems that Mourinho has not brought in any other players to strengthen their squad, It was previously reported that Raheem Sterling was one of them Mourinho is aiming for a target, but it seems that getting Raheem Sterling is not an easy thing because with his age and current performance, of course there are still many other teams that are better for him to continue his career if he leaves from Chelsea in the future.
