I would like to share my observations after the matches between Fenerbahce and Lugano. It is too early to comment on Mourinho's game discipline and squad style. No one should expect Mourinho to pull a rabbit out of a hat in a few games. He still has to understand the squad, get to know the players and evaluate the alternatives. This will take until the end of September. At the beginning of the league, Fenerbahce fans knew more than most that playing very good football does not make a team champions.
The fact that Fenerbahçe conceded four goals in total in the Lugano matches is a big problem. Defense problems need to be solved urgently. The team lacks a midfield. I don't think Fenerbahce can eliminate their next opponent Lille. The team is not ready and tired. It will take some time for the new players to adapt and therefore it would be more realistic for them to focus on the Europa League rather than the Champions League.

This year's Turkish Super League will be quite interesting. Mourinho came to Fenerbahçe and the team is slowly getting used to his system.
Fenerbahçe bought En Nesyri. He transferred Maximin and made an important contribution to the forward line with Cenk Tosun. Fenerbahçe's forward line is very good right now. The most important event for the last champion Galatasaray will be joining the Champions League and it has not given good signals for now. They lost 0-2 in the Parma match.
Beşiktaş is going quietly and deeply. What I am most curious about is their performance.
The Super Cup Match to be played on August 3 will give a better idea for Galatasaray and Beşiktaş.
Mourinho is a great tactician that his presence is always felt wherever he goes. He is a proven winner so Fenerbahçe will undoubtedly feel his impact and do better than they did last season. Following the track records of Mourinho I can boldly say that he will go for the league title when the season starts. The Turkish league is not that difficult for Mourinho not to dominate. Mourinho that I know will make sure that he has the best squad to compete in all competition they will be playing next season. Their attack is looking good as you rightly stated, if they can also balance their midfield and defense, they will be nearly unstoppable next season. Fenerbahçe bought En Nesyri. He transferred Maximin and made an important contribution to the forward line with Cenk Tosun. Fenerbahçe's forward line is very good right now.

If Fenerbahce start the season well, they keep going. Their opponents are also likely to start the season well, but the decisive factor will be the squad size and the number of goals scored. Fenerbahçe will start the season against Adana Demirspor and will want to start with 3 points with the advantage of the first match at home. I think they will beat Adana Demirspor, who as far as I know have been quiet during the transfer season.

Fenerbahçe has made very big transfers, they will be the Turkish team I am most curious about this year. Maybe it would have been different if they hadn't missed the championship at the last minute last year. They are now very eager to become champions, this season is very critical for them. Galatasaray doesn't look like it will be very successful right now. They were not very successful in the preparation matches. Looks like the team has a lot to fix
Trabzonspor failed to reach an agreement with Southampton for Paul Onuachu transfer. His arrival was almost certain, now alternatives are being discussed. One of them is Weghorst. We already know how good a striker he is, he has done well for Beşiktaş. Ajax are also interested in Weghorst, who is expected to leave this year. If Trabzonspor buys him, it will be a very important transfer.
Beşiktaş is doing very well in friendly matches, they have played 4 friendly matches, had 1 loss, 2 wins and 1 draw. Interestingly, in yesterday's match they won and scored 2 goals and did not concede any goals, in these 4 friendly matches Beşiktaş conceded only 2 goals and managed to score 7 goals. This shows to some extent that they have a good defense, it is true that these are matches against weak teams and friendly matches are not very serious either. But having won is a very good thing.
Looking at another match from yesterday, I am talking about this match
It seems that Galatasaray is not doing well in friendly matches.
Lask 3 - 2 Galatasaray (in this game Galatasaray conceded 3 goals)
Galatasaray 2 - 5 Dulsseldorf (in this game Galatasaray conceded 5 goals)
Galatasaray 4 - 1 Trencin (in this game Galatasaray conceded 1 goal)
Galatasaray 2 - 1 Lecce (in this game Galatasaray conceded 1 goal)
Galatasaray 0 - 2 Parma (in this game Galatasaray conceded 2 goals)
It seems to me that Galatasaray has problems in defense, in a few days they will have their first serious game, looking at the opponent who will be Beşiktaş, we may see Galatasaray having a lot of difficulty to win and maybe they may lose, anyway I hope Galatasaray stays weak so that Fenerbahce becomes champion this time

The friendly showed that Rafa Silva is fully ready. Ciro Immobile needs a little more time. It's hard to think long term with Svensson and Masuaku, we need better full backs. Gençlerbirliği wasn't a very strong opponent, we expect Beşiktaş to score more goals. The next match will be against Sakaryaspor. After that there will be a Super Cup match. There is not much time left to prepare now. The squad for the cup match is getting clearer.
Beşiktaş really look better for this season. The new chairman Hasan Arat is taking good steps so far. I'm really wondering what van Bronckhorst is also going to do. He achieved trophies in Netherlands and Scotland in the past. I think he doesn't look like an incapable coach at all because of that. Another thing I wonder is how good he is going to benefit from talents like Semih Kılıçsoy.
Immobile has been signed so this would probably mean we are going to watch him in the starting 11 the most. I presume van Bronckhorst wouldn't make a mistake like wasting his talent by not giving chances to Semih often.

A good reinforcement to Beşiktaş's offensive line will be enough. However, the midfield needs more dynamism. Beşiktaş is too slow when they have the ball and can make erroneous passes. It would be great to have Atiba or Medel in this team. Because Musrati and Gedson are weak. Interestingly, the defense is better than I expected, but we need a more solid replacement for Colley and Svensson needs to contribute more to the attack. In today's football, there is no fullback who can't contribute offensively. Finally, Beşiktaş looked good overall, but unfortunately this team has no squad depth. I think Beşiktaş needs to have a bigger squad to achieve success in the league.

Galatasaray signed a 5-year contract with Elias Jelert. The transfer fee is 9 million Euros. Galatasaray will pay this money in 6 installments over 3 years.
Guéla Doué was Galatasaray's first priority. But he was transferred to Strasbourg. Jelert's transfer fee is a bit high. But we will pay it in 6 installments. Maybe it is a bit high because we will pay it in 6 installments. Okan Buruk wanted this transfer very much. I hope he will adapt quickly to Okan Buruk's game plan. On the other hand, Tete has been transferred to Panathinaikos. Galatasaray will earn 4 million 750 thousand dollars from this transfer. Tete, like Jelert, was signed with high hopes. But he failed to deliver the expected performance at Galatasaray. It is as important to adapt good players to the team as it is to sign them.
Beşiktaş has long wanted to sign Emirhan Topçu from Çaykur Rizespor. Being a Turkish stopper would be a good alternative in the team. However, for this transfer to take place as a swap, Amir and Amartey, who Rizespor wanted, refused to go. Now Beşiktaş made an offer of 2.5 million Euro plus Hasic and Kartal Kayra. If this happens, Beşiktaş will get rid of two unnecessary players. Emirhan Topçu already wants to come to Beşiktaş. This transfer could be finalized very soon.

Another departure from Fenerbahçe. Umut Nayir thanked Fenerbahçe, left the team and transferred to Konyaspor.

If we are paying this money in 6 instalments then I guess we have a big problem.
But it shouldn't come as a surprise to me at the same time though. Because we haven't been as good as Fenerbahçe as for making a big profit in player sales.I only remember Sacha Boey from whose sale we got a lot of money in the recent years, that's all. We need to be careful about that to be able to make signings easier. For example we are struggling to answer Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş with transfers lately. This is really annoying to me as a fan. Because the club finances isn't managed decently clearly. If we have a bad season next time, fans will question Dursun Özbek harsher undoubtedly.

My favorite club in Turkish league is Fenerbahce. But even in the last few seasons we see Fenerbahçe teams not winning the title even after performing well. Despite having a strong squad, Fenerbahçe's performance could not be sustained. Despite starting the season well, his performances at Fenerbahçe were erratic towards the end of the season. This is why the team failed to win the title.
Fenerbahçe changed their coach to build a stronger and more stable squad. Fenerbahçe management has hired experienced coaches like Jose Mourinho. I would say if Mourinho can build the squad to his liking then Mourinho has the ability to lead Fenerbahçe to the super Lig title. Mourinho is a very experienced coach. Hopefully the Fenerbahçe team will dominate the Super Lig next season.
I think Mourinho's ambitions go much further than the Super League, he has always been focused on the Euro Cups, and right now he is busy getting Fenerbahce into the group stage of CL. Last season they missed out by a hair, just three points, and I see that their defense was very solid, only 31 goals conceded in 38 games, then it is not clear why they conceded 3 goals from Lugano, especially since Lugano made only 5 shots on target per game, this is not like Mourinho.

I have seen that Berkan Kutlu said something like "You don't win championships with transfers." in an interview he has given recently. It is half true to tell the truth. Yes nothing is guaranteed when you sign new players pre-season. However these transfers can make a significant impact on your chance to become champion too. It all depends on making the right transfers. 
If you have weak areas in your squad then you should work on it. Otherwise you would have big issues with showing a good team performance. Maybe Galatasaray became champions anyway but it is now harder to repeat it with the same squad, so.

Fenerbahce have been very busy in the transfer market this summer and I don't think football fans across the globe are surprised with that development considering the fact that the club recently appointed Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho as their manager. Among Fenerbahce recent signings are former Newcastle player Allan Saint-Maxin and Morocco international Yossef En-Nesyri who was signed from Sevilla. Jose Mourinho is known to be a serial winner and I expect his instant positive impact on the team beginning from next season. For a club that's captained by Edin Dzeko and managed by Jose Mourinho, I expect Fenerbahce to win the Turkish Super Lig title next season
It is no longer secret for everyone who follows the development of the Turkish Super League, in this season change Fenerbahce really showed big breakthrough in the effort of change, Mourinho came as coach and he continues to pursue his performance to develop the team.Bringing in many players and really making big changes in the composition of players from every line, this can be big thing next season if what Mourinho does can achieve success, I think the new era of Fenerbahce will begin.
Turkish Super League competition will start on August 10 and it is still about 2 weeks before they undergo each match that will take place, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray who always dominate the League will play in the first match against weak team.
Looking at the existing match schedule, I sure the competition between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray will look much more significant, they will compete to get as many points as possible and occupy the top position in the standings to compete for the championship title.
I still fully believe that Fenerbahce can become champions next season, the toughest competitor is Galatasaray but the current Fenerbahce squad can definitely overcome all the competition that exists.

GVB tried mostly Turkish players in Bandırmaspor game, he played Immobile to gain match pace and to get used to the team, the other 10 players were players who would normally find it difficult to find a place in the squad, who needed to show themselves to earn a place in the rotation. A rehearsal without goals is always bad for attacking players. Beşiktaş should have scored against such a weak opponent, even with their substitutes. There is still a lot of work to be done.
