Final result of Galatasaray in Turkish Super League :

Player with the most asissts  -14- ( Lincoln ) + Player with the most goals -20- ( Milan Baros ) = 5th place in the Turkish Super Leauge.

We all need some change !

Royals of Liverpool

Steven Gerard is the captain of Liverpool for nearly 6 years. He is like king in the team. Also he is one of the most loved players in England and the world. When he is Anfield with his daughters, they were like the King and the Queens.

Busted

The face of Motorola, David Beckham, is busted with an Apple iPhone in Milano. I am sure that Motorola board is very happy about this photo. Make him earn a lot of money with your name and see him when he is cheating. Not good Beck.

Sausage Salesman

This is Luca Toni an Italian footballer, who plays for a German club Bayern Munich. He is advertising German sausages in for Italians. Kind of  a peace ambassador between Italy and Germany. When earning 3 million euros a season why humiliate yourself with these kind of stupid stuff ? Whatever, we still adore him in the pitch...

Morgan De Sanctis

Thank you Morgan for everything you did in 2008 - 2009 season.

His contract has ended and he will be returning to Seville next week. He played 40 matches for Galatasaray and he did a great job. Some of the fans criticized him about the goals he conceded but they do not know that he is one of the best goalkeepers of Italy. We will be missing you.

Satire

What a Signature !

(Sabri Sarioglu is a player who is hated by the Galatasaray fans although he is a great fan of Galatasaray. He is very talentless and ineffective in the pitch. The only thing he does is running. Every Galatasaray fan would want to see him release from the club. Also he is hated because of the discussions he has with the referees and opponents.)

According to Official Galatasaray website, Sabri Sarioglu signed a new contract for 7 years worth 70 million dollars. President Adnan Polat claimed that, "It is an honour to have a player like Sabri. His talents can help Galatasaray to win every title possible. He is a great model for everyone. I believe that other members will be very happy to play under Sabri's captaincy." Also as it is seen in the media, fans rushed to training facilities to congratulate Sabri. They are glad that he is still in the team and the leader of the ship. Sabri's comments to this signing were interesting. He said that he had many offers but he didn't wanted to play less than 10 million dollars a year.

King Is Not Leaving !

(Luis Aragones won the European Championship last summer with Spain and Fenerbahce president Aziz Yildirim appointed him as the new manager of Fenerbahce. The team had the worse season ever with Luis Aragones. He had many problems and discussions with many players. All of the fans hates gim and wants him to resign.)

Luis Aragones may not had a great season, but he said that he has more work to do with Fenerbahce. As he claimed, the team played a very good football all season long and it is over the Turkish Super League quality. He thinks that he has a future in Istanbul. Also all the board members are very happy with the comments. They imagine that losing a valuable manager like Aragones, would hurt Fenerbahce and Turkish football. Him, leaving would be like a father abondoning his sons. 

Turkish but German Stars

After the agreement about enhancing work force between Germany and Turkey in 1960’s, the Turkish population started to increase in German borders. In early days, Turks went Germany as ‘guest workers’ but later on they stayed there and got German citizenship. So the interaction between Germans, Turks and football started in those days.

With the discipline of Germans and with the passion and flair of Turks, admiring football players started to come up. The Turkish talents started to get the required training to become high regard football players in German academies. As a result of these progresses, players like Mehmet Scholl, Hamit Altintop, Halil Altintop, Nuri Sahin, Mesut Ozil, Serdar Tasci, Hakan Balta, Umit Davala, Ilhan Mansiz and Yildiray Basturk became important football players in the world.

Because they were raised in a foreign country, some players have problems to find their real identity, which we can understand with the choices of national teams to play. Although they are Turkish citizens and speak Turkish as mother tongue, some players choose German national team to play. The main reason of this is, the law in German constitution. It is written that if a sports player that rose in Germany prefers to play for another country, should accept to relinquish the rights of German citizenship. After this announcement, more Turkish young players started to choose German national team. Most notable ones like Mesut Ozil (20) and Serdar Tasci (22) got underway with Germany.

There are also valuable Turkish players that preferred to play for Turkey. Borussia Dortmund’s playmaker Nuri Sahin, Chelsea FC’s young star Gokhan Tore and Bayern Munich’s promising winger Deniz Yilmaz are couple of them, to generate future Turkish stars.
