Market31 Mar 2036

Loevan Charros is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Erzurumspor is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The dugout31 Mar 2036

Gokhan Yazici: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Erzurumspor have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad31 Mar 2036

Tempers go at Erzurumspor

Ayman Gülaşı 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.

Squad31 Mar 2036

Tika de Jonge 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.

Squad31 Mar 2036

7 new faces, and Erzurumspor are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Loan watch31 Mar 2036

10 clean sheets on loan for Ertuğrul Çetin

29 appearances at Antalyaspor and the goals have stopped going in. Erzurumspor lent out a goalkeeper and are watching somebody else’s season get better every week.

Loan watch31 Mar 2036

Nobody is scoring past Rüzgar Adıyaman at Pendikspor

10 shut-outs in 25 games. A goalkeeper’s loan is judged on the afternoons when nothing happened at all, and Rüzgar Adıyaman has been having a lot of them.

Squad31 Mar 2036

No place for Civan Süer in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Erzurumspor are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

The dugout31 Mar 2036

Emre İnal gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad24 Dec 2035

A knee injury of the worst kind for Mevran Ablak

28 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Erzurumspor lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The dugout24 Dec 2035

Emre İnal keeps the receipts

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

Match22 Dec 2035

7 unbeaten for Erzurumspor

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Erzurumspor did not have in the autumn.

Squad24 Dec 2035

A falling-out at Erzurumspor

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

Squad24 Dec 2035

Tika de Jonge 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.

Player ratings24 Dec 2035

Nobody on the pitch touched Ayman Gülaşı

7.48, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Erzurumspor had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The dugout24 Dec 2035

Ben Traoré gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout24 Dec 2035

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Interim Coach was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Erzurumspor dressing room was either.

Squad24 Dec 2035

Tolga Kalender is a square peg at Erzurumspor

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market11 Jun 2035

Marcell Major asks to leave Erzurumspor

“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.

Market11 Jun 2035

Rüzgar Adıyaman has said yes to Pendikspor

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Erzurumspor have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market11 Jun 2035

Óscar Jiménez is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Erzurumspor is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Transfer targets11 Jun 2035

Ercüment Sancaklı due for a Erzurumspor medical

Everything agreed with Bandirmaspor, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad11 Jun 2035

Tempers go at Erzurumspor

Raphael Hofer 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.

Market11 Jun 2035

Erzurumspor sign Ali Yıldız for $69.0K

The paperwork is done: Ali Yıldız joins from Boluspor in a deal worth $69.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Squad11 Jun 2035

A move Emre İnal would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Emre İnal is living that version at Erzurumspor, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets11 Jun 2035

Erzurumspor rebuffed over Emir Bars

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

Squad11 Jun 2035

Erzurumspor are still strangers to each other

9 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.

In brief
