Topic: Turkish Super League 2024/25 Season - page 6. (Read 4574 times)

After more than a week we only saw international matches but in a few days we will see the league start again, after the international break ends of course every player needs to refocus their attention on bringing the team to victory, Osimhen has just played his international match with Nigeria so I think maybe Galatasaray still won't play him in the match, especially since facing Çaykur Rizespor has not been a difficult opponent for Galatasaray so far and without Osimhen it looks like they would still be able to win the match, Galatasaray vs Fenerbache match in week 6 of the super lig, in my opinion it will be osimhen debut match at galatasaray this season.

Of course in this match we will see Galatasaray can easily win because Caykur Rizespor is also not team that can match Galatasaray performance and in addition Galatasaray plays at home.
With all the advantages of Galatasaray such as playing at home and the presence of goal machine Osimhen, it is certain that Caykur Rizespor will have serious problems and they will really feel how strong Galatasaray is at the beginning of the season like this.

For the Trabzonspor vs Besiktas match itself, it will clearly be an interesting match because last season Trabzonspor was also able to play quite well and finished the League by finishing in 3rd place.
But for the beginning of this season in the two matches that Trabzonspor has played, it shows that they failed to win and both matches ended in draw.
Trabzonspor will play at home and Besiktas in three matches also played quite well, maybe this match will also end in draw or win for Besiktas as the favorite team.

I was a bit surprised when I heard that Victor Osimhen has sign for Galatasaray but he has to leave since the team he sacrifice everything for never wanted him at the team again, we all saw how Victor Osimhen help SSC Napoli to win the serie A title for the first time since the 1989-1990 season which make it there overall third league title and also winning the top scorer.
Victor Osimhen is a good goal scorer he scored a classic goal in the AFCON qualifier in there match against Benin republic. He rejected the Saudi club offer because he believe he is still a youn player to play for the Saudi club he needed to achieve more before going to Saudi club but he would have chosen a team in either in the English premier league, Spanish laliga, Bundesliga and not the Turkish league since he has already taken this decision I wish he well at Galatasaray I believe he will still score more interesting goals for his new team.

The league starts again on Saturday and the first big match will be Galatasaray - Çaykur Rizespor.
Çaykur Rizespor started the league badly and I think they will get bad results in this match as well.
Galatasaray's new transfer Osimhen can play in this match.

The biggest match of this week will be Trabzonspor-Beşiktaş.

There was an Interview I watched Mikel Obi say on this Osimhen's transfer saga, according to that video clip ,Mikel Obi was the middle man in this deal who was trying everything possible to make this transfer work between Chelsea, Victor Osimhen and Napoli.
even to the extent he couldn't had a sleep that night, he futher narrated the aspect why they didn't get deal done was in the side of Osimhen's medical if the deal was signed everything happened late, and despite the situation, Osimhen has a keen interest over joining Chelsea, hopefully that he will be Didier Drogba of this Chelsea's team era.

Osimhen is one of the top 5 strikers currently in Europe, so I'm not surprised seeing scoring a goal in that super eagles game.

To be honest this looked like the best option for Osimhen after the transfer negotiations with those big European teams. I wouldn't like to see him at Saudi Arabia so early in his career. He could have easily signed by a big European team but Napoli chairman wanted €130m. Now his new release clause must be like €75m or €80m. He would easily be signed by such big teams at the end of his loan at Galatasaray.

By the way he is really one of the biggest names seen in the Turkish league. I still question what he is doing here.

Upon how embattled Victor Osimhen was in the transfer sagas, he manages to score a decent goal in the Nigerian match in the AFCON qualifiers. This shows that despite having stopped playing since May, he is still in good form. If Victor Osimhen will be able to score such goals in Galatasary, it means he has the capacity to take the club to a higher level.

I was obviously not happy with Victor moving to Galatasary having rejected;
Saudi club;
PSG;
Chelsea;
Well, we have no option than to win him well.

Yes, I think the same way as you. Rafa Silva added great strength to Beşiktaş, Osimhen to Galatasaray. Mourinho ended this period without such a star. I think Fenerbahçe seems to have come out the worst in this situation.

Thanks for the information mate.    I also think the same about that. This kind of competitors won't prove anything about our power. Playing against clubs with a similar strength would be better for us to see our weaknesses.


Zalewski is likely to join us. In fact, first he stated that he didn't want to leave Roma. But I've heard later that our officials have gone to Italy to work on this transfer and more. I hope we can finish the left winger transfer before the deadline for our league. 

Left winger is more immediate for us. But of course I would love to see a midfielder transfer too. We need to keep our midfield strong at the same time.

Esenler Erokspor is a team that plays in the first league of TFF or what we often refer to as the second division of the Turkish league, it is only natural that so far we have rarely heard of Erokspor because they are a weak team and continue to be in the third division before they were able to promote to the 2nd division in the 2023/24 season, Galatasaray managed to win the friendly match with a score of 8-3,  but I think to test the squad they have at the moment, Galatasaray should have a stronger opponent in a friendly match than against Erokspor who are weak and easy to beat.

Galatasaray looks still very active in the transfer market even though they have previously brought in many European star players to squad, reportedly at this time Galatasaray is still trying to bring in a midfielder like casemiro dan jourgiho to strengthen their midfield although their only have yilmaz curently as players  which had the ability to play as a left wing to replace the kerem which leaving to benfica, With the limited number of left wingers, Galatasaray should have to focus more on getting players who are positioned as left wingers at the moment and I think Zalewski will be worthy of occupying that position at the moment.
Btw Galatasaray management is currently rumored to be in intense talks with Roma regarding Zalewski and it seems that in the near time Zalewski move will happen for a fee of 10 million euros.

Kostic transfer may not be great for Fenerbahce while being great for Galatasaray, sometimes players fit great to some teams and not great for other teams. Fenerbahce already has some good wings and they had good backs too, now they will have Kostic, which means they may return to three defenders as well, we do not know. With Oosterwolde, Djiku and Becao at the centre backs (with caglar there too sometimes) and Kostic and Osayi at wingbacks, that could be good, but not really fit the current situation so they would have to change.

Whereas, galatasaray needed someone at the left like that direly and missed their chance, for whatever reason it was, I think they are looking for someone else already, but it is not going to be quick enough, they already missed the Europa cup chance to register the new player. I think it's clear that we are going to miss many chances, and we should consider how this could be very important deal for them, it's a very crucial thing.

I have heard of this Erokspor for the first time in my life. Maybe that was why I didn't even see the game on the internet.    It looks like it was a good game to boost some morale.

Now I'm just wondering if we will make signings before the end of the window for the Turkish Super League.    The window closes for our league on September 13. There is still time but we must hurry. I have heard of some names such as Zalewski and Ebimbe. But it is said both of them have rejected Galatasaray. Just please, we have to sign a left winger immediately! Kerem has left. His space must be filled.

I am eagerly waiting for the Rizerspor match, I hope Osimhen will be in the squad for this match. Even if he is not, he will definitely be ready for the next match. It didn't matter whether Osimhen was in the friendly match or not. He went to play for the Nigerian national team, yes, he scored a goal, oh he will return without getting injured or anything, and he will have returned by scoring a goal.

The Super League will be a piece of cake for him, just look and see, he will score a goal in every match.

That's why there are rules in tournaments like registering 4 players from the youth. Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe had to report an incomplete squad to the Europa League due to a lack of home grown players. Talented players from the youth are going to European clubs, but Turkish teams are having difficulties because the number of home grown players is not enough. We need to take countries like Spain as an example in this regard. Teams like FC Barcelona not only have huge expensive squads with big stars, but they also bravely play youngsters from their own academies. Why do our teams find it so difficult to do this?

If it wasn't for injuries last season, maybe Semih Kılıçsoy wouldn't have shone like this. When players are given a chance, they take advantage of it. This season Mustafa Hekimoğlu will have a similar breakthrough. There are talented players in our academies, we need to give them a chance. Those who use it well and show themselves will not only contribute financially to the team but also prevent difficulties against such rules.

You are very right about this, we are having a big problem especially with foreign players. Unfortunately, the football players trained in Turkey are not successful, and the good players are transferred to European teams anyway. In order to increase the quality of the league, it is necessary to have good players, we cannot even play the players we have recruited well. There's something that needs to change

A piece of Gold doesn't struggle to glitter/ show off its magnificence... He's shown and proven himself severally, even before he was crowned African best player.... Do you know how difficult it was for Jay Jay to shine even with the likes of clarence seedorf??  That's how difficult it was for osimhen to convince the whole world, even in MO. Salah's era.
Let's see how his loan era goes all the way.

we may be expecting too much from the kid but regardless, he's good and I'm not seeing him to be a flob. Y'all remember what happened to Ansu fati?? Exactly!! Te media took over and hyped his skills way beyond what he couldn't defend... Where is he now?? Well, let's hope for the best on this!

According to media reports, Trabzonspor are preparing to make a transfer offer for Gift Orban. They will offer Lyon 1 million Euros for a 1-year loan and 7,5 million Euros for the transfer fee. They transferred Mohammed'i Cahm. But they had a problem with the transfer of Paul Onuachu. They still don't have their first striker.

Also, they fired Abdullah Avci. They signed Şenol Güneş. They changed the manager in the second week of the league. They completed the pre-season preparations with Abdullah Avcı. They made transfers with Abdullah Avcı. But they fired him in the second week of the season. They are doing things without a plan and program. There is no chance they will be successful this season.

Osimhen is core player for Nigeria and he is very important part of the Nigerian national team so even though Osimhen plays for Galatasaray it is natural that the coach will not use him in some matches that may not be so important such as friendly matches.
Without Osimhen alone Galatasaray can get big win by scoring 8 goal and if Osimhen is there maybe it could be much bigger win, I not so interested in Osimhen playing with Galatasaray in friendly match because what is awaited is Osimhen appearance with Galatasaray in match against big team like Fenerbahce or Besiktas.
In addition, Galatasaray also has target to be able to win the title this season and can have ticket to compete in the UCL next season without having to take part in the qualifying round if they really occupy the top position, with Osimhen who can always be kept in fit and healthy condition then it can really help Galatasaray.

I do not have very strong opinions on the 31 year old player since I haven’t watched any of his games but I trust Mourinho to make the best decisions for his team. Good luck to Fenerbahçe. Time will tell if Galatasaray dodge a bullet on this transfer. Their attack has improved significantly with the arrival of Osimhen but other areas like the defense are still lacking.

No, there is no way Osimhen could have played in the friendly against Erokspor. Osimhen had to travel to Nigeria for the AFCON Qualifiers. Galatasaray did not need Osimhen in that game, the score sheet: Galatasaray 8 - 3 Erokspor.

Even if Victor Osimhen wasn't representing representing Nigeria at the moment and happens to be with the Galatasaray team, I don't think the club manager will want to risk him by playing him a friendly game against Erokspor. Osimhen is a big player and a global star so players of his quality enjoys some privileges from the club managers so they can remain fit for big games.
