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.

Watching a championship race with three teams really gives us pleasure. What I think now is that Batshuayi was transferred to Galatasaray. Fenerbahçe is about to sign Cenk Tosun from Beşiktaş. There seems to have been an exchange between the players. Icardi is on the agenda with his private life. He and his wife are about to divorce and this will show us whether he will concentrate on football or not.

In the last clubs where he was a coach, he was not given such large transfer opportunities as he had previously at Chelsea or Manchester United, where he had huge transfer budgets available to him. I have no doubt that he would also like to get such an opportunity in Fenerbahce, but unfortunately Fenerbahce is far from the richest club, so the opportunities will not be that great. He is trying to attract several players now, but you are right, for now it all remains at the level of rumors. It is difficult to say whether he will be able to lead Fenerbahce to the championship, with Roma, his results were not very good in Serie A, but he achieved success in the Conference League and Europa League.

I was thinking that Fenerbahce will be one of the most active clubs in summer transfer window after signing Jose Mourinho as the club manager during end of last season. The Portuguese manager is known for being a serial winner of trophies so his  arrival as Fenerbahce manager might help the club win the Turkish Super Lig that they've been runners-up in the last two seasons. The fact that the club haven't made significant signings so far this summer I think means that Jose Mourinho is happy with the quality of players at the club already. The talk about signing Morocco and Sevilla's striker Youssef En-Nesyri o think are still mere rumors until it's finalized.

Fenerbahce haven't made any additions to the main squad. I think all the transfers made so far will be players who will wait on the bench. It is obvious that the team needs a good striker first. They sent Batshuayi away and Cenk Tosun came in as a substitute and rotation player. Now they need to buy a striker to be in the starting 11, but nothing has been finalized yet. There is talk of En nesyri's future but the transfer is currently on hold.

Yes, the UCL qualifying round is very important for Fenerbahce and in this match they are facing Lugano, one of the strongest teams in the Swiss Super League and of course this is not an easy match or one that Fenerbahce can underestimate.
At least Fenerbahce should be able to take advantage in the second leg because they will be playing at home, for the first leg itself it is an away match for Fenerbahce so being able to get draw is success to increase the chances.
I sure that Fenerbahce will really optimize their performance to be able to get out of the UCL qualifying round.

Mourinho has certainly prepared everything well because being able to bring Fenerbahce through the qualifications is already big thing for him, who in his first season was able to lead Fenerbahce to the UCL competition.
First leg match will still take place in less than 2 weeks and this is time that Mourinho can use in training the Fenerbahce squad so that it can be in condition that allows it later.

Obviously Mourinho is really using this games to try to test out what works best for Fernerbahce, I believe with Al Ahli Allan Saint-Maximin coming into play there is going to be an improvement in the team as to what is currently in place because Allan Saint-Maximin is indeed a striker with hidden great potential in the play field which I believe that's what mourinho might have seen to be so much interested in bringing him to the club and he definitely suit Mourinho's kind of tactics because of his aggressiveness in the goal post, has played 30 matches scored 6 goals and 9 assists since he joined Al Ahli.

The fixtures for the 24/25 Super League season have been announced. Starting on August 9, the Super League will end on June 1, 2025. This season 19 teams will play in the league. There have been some important transfers in the Super League this summer and hopefully we will see a league with a high level of competition and football quality this season. Here are the derby weeks we are curious about in the fixture;

Week 5: Trabzonspor v Beşiktaş
Week 6: Fenerbahçe v Galatasaray
Week 10: Galatasaray v Beşiktaş
Week 11: Trabzonspor v Fenerbahçe
Week 15: Beşiktaş v Fenerbahçe
Week 16: Galatasaray v Trabzonspor

talking about striker and mourinho, fenerbahce reached an agreement with Al Ahli for Al Ahli player Allan Saint-Maximin to be loaned to fenerbahce, he played 30 games in the Saudi league and only managed to score 4 goals, I don't know why mourinho is interested in himself even though he has such low performance, today fenerbahce played another friendly game and lost, it was a game in which fenerbahce failed to score a goal and conceded 1 goal, the opponent was not weak and from what i could see the Mourinho once again played with another formation, I think he is testing which formation suits Fenerbahce and what characteristics of players he needs for the ideal formation he wants to create. here is the news about Allan Saint-Maximin's loan

In 2 weeks Fenerbahce will have an important game, it will be a qualifying game for the European Champions League and it will be against Lugano who finished in second place in the Swiss league. I think it will be the first big test for Mourinho, losing this qualification will start the season badly for Mourinho. I hope Fenerbahce makes good signings

I absolutely have the same idea with you about Cenk Tosun. I have heard that his name is called with Fenerbahçe as well. Cenk Tosun could be a quite good transfer to be a backup forward player for Fenerbahçe which have just lost Batshuayi. It has been on Fenerbahçe's agenda that Dzeko could leave Fenerbahçe. When we think about this age I think it would be good to see him leaving. Because we know Mourinho wants a more dynamic main forward player.

Cenk Tosun, whose contract with Beşiktaş has expired, has signaled that he will consider offers from other teams, but a deal similar to the contract renewed by Salih Uçan could also be agreed. At the moment, Beşiktaş has no intention of letting him go because there are not many options both as a Turkish and as a center forward. Although Cenk is not a direct starter, he is a quality player who can find a place in the rotation. I think it's necessary to agree on a suitable salary and keep him in the team.

Armand Lauriente is on the agenda for the left wing. With 5 goals and 4 assists in 37 games for Sassuolo, I think he is unnecessary for Beşiktaş. The player who will play on the left wing of Beşiktaş should contribute at least 10 goals and as many assists. Otherwise it's impossible to be champion. Look at the years when we were champions, players like Larin, Cenk Tosun and Babel always contributed to the score from the left wing.

Fenerbahçe clearly wants Mourinho to win the Super League Cup, which has not been won for a long time. Mourinho is a very experienced name, I see it as highly likely that he can achieve this. Any success can be achieved in Europe, of course, they had a very good squad last season.

Fenerbahçe will be renewed with a few reinforcements and a good Mourinho. Clubs such as Galatasaray and Beşiktaş will also show themselves in this race by spending well. Let's see, as some pieces move at the beginning of the season, it will become clear where the cup will go during the season.

I think they will focus on the European Cups. Of course they will also want to win the Turkish League. But this season they will build a team from scratch. Mourinho will need time to instill his tactics into this team. The new signings will have adaptation problems. They will face many problems. On the other hand, Galatasaray will start the season with a settled squad. The league race will be more difficult for Fenerbahçe than last season. That's why I think they will prioritize the European Cups. Also, Mourinho's tactics are more suitable for the cup format. With tight defense they can beat any team in the cup. But they can't win the league with tight defense.
