Market

Terms done: Bertuğ Yıldırım is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Antalyaspor waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Basaksehir is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Squad

Efe Sarıkaya damages knee ligaments — 21 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 21 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Basaksehir say no — this time

The offer from Galatasaray for Saba Kharebashvili was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

The dugout

Adil Demirbağ keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Basaksehir may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets

Basaksehir rebuffed over Ayberk Karapo

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Manisa FK have kept their man, and Basaksehir go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Boardroom

Basaksehir go back to the board over Adem Arous

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $344.9K — a club that wants Adem Arous enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Haluk Tan is a medical away from Basaksehir

The deal with Samsunspor is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Tempers go at Basaksehir

Abdülkerim Bardakcı was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets

Basaksehir make their move for Adem Arous

$290.0K on the table at Kasimpasa. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

13 matches without a win for Basaksehir

The run now stands at 13, and the questions being asked around Basaksehir are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Home is on Davie Selke's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Basaksehir are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Player ratings

Andreas Skov Olsen runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Words at Basaksehir training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Amine Harit is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

A falling-out at Basaksehir

Ousseynou Ba and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Bertuğ Yıldırım

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Basaksehir told Bertuğ Yıldırım something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout

The team sheet said everything about Ousseynou Ba

Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Ousseynou Ba.

Market

Basaksehir buy the years ahead of Enes Öğrüce

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad

Basaksehir are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The Bodrum FK Chronicle

From our football correspondent Steady

Transfer targets

Ionut Man turns down Bodrum FK

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Pandurii keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

Words exchanged at Bodrum FK

Gustavo Blanco and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market

One of our own: Semih Celik joins the Bodrum FK first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Semih Celik is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Selcuk Yildirim steps up from the Bodrum FK academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Selcuk Yildirim has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Bodrum FK promote Murat Ozcan from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Murat Ozcan has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Bodrum FK promote Cenk Omur from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Cenk Omur has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
