Match

Chastening afternoon for Goztepe

A 1‑4 beating by Galatasaray was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Juan Santos breaks a bone — 90 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 90 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

8 saves: Mateusz Lis was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market

Furkan Bayır puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Goztepe, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Goztepe turn down Racing Genk for Mateusz Lis

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Goztepe get their man

The chase for Erdoğan Yeşilyurt ended with $270.0K changing hands and Antalyaspor out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

The terraces

$270.0K for Erdoğan Yeşilyurt, and Goztepe supporters approve

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Erdoğan Yeşilyurt from Antalyaspor for $270.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Boardroom

Inquest at Goztepe

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Squad

Tempers go at Goztepe

Malcom Bokélé 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

Door shut on Orkun Kökçü

Goztepe asked and Besiktas said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets

An offer of $4.8M for Ahmed Kutucu

Goztepe have gone to Galatasaray with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Goztepe bid $1.8M for Atakan Çankaya

The offer went to Igdir FK this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market

Oțelul Galați come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Goztepe did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Rhaldney attracts admirers

The name of Rhaldney has come up in conversations Goztepe were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Boardroom

Goztepe go back to the board over Tunahan Taşçı

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $255.9K — a club that wants Tunahan Taşçı enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Janderson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Janderson commits to Goztepe for another 4 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Goztepe

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Janderson

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Janderson, and the manager let it.

Market

Rhaldney asks to leave Goztepe

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Home is on Rhaldney'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; Goztepe are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Words exchanged at Goztepe

Guilherme Luiz 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.

Squad

Rhaldney falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Allan Godói stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Allan Godói and Goztepe agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Arda Özçimen attracts admirers

The name of Arda Özçimen has come up in conversations Goztepe were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
