Squad

Emeka Eze takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Yusuf Erdoğan yet — 8.44

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.44 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Hasan Ege Akdoğan is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Corum FK and Sariyer in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match

Emeka Eze the difference as Corum FK beat Sariyer

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Emeka Eze. 4‑2 against Sariyer, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Emeka Eze

Marked 9.37 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

Corum FK lose Burak Under

15 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

A falling-out at Corum FK

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

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Mehmet Demiral, on a 4‑2 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Market

Terms done: Semih Akyıldız is going

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

Market

Geraldo says no to Pendikspor

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Geraldo had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Squad

6 saves: Ibrahim Sehic was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market

Geraldo hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Corum FK can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Joseph Attamah delivers — 7.91

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Joseph Attamah scored, was marked 7.91, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Market

Corum FK say no — this time

The offer from Goztepe for Danijel Aleksić 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

The manager makes an example of Ibrahim Zubariu

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Corum FK count the cost of losing Burak Under

45 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

A falling-out at Corum FK

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

Market

Corum FK turn down Central Coast Mariners for Emeka Eze

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

Market

Eyes on Semih Akyıldız again

The phone has started ringing about Semih Akyıldız again, and this time the name on the line is Fatih Karagumruk. Corum FK are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market

Mehmet Yildiz steps up from the Corum FK academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mehmet Yildiz 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

One of our own: Burak Under joins the Corum FK first team

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

Squad

A falling-out at Corum FK

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

Squad

Words at Corum FK training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Osman Şahin 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.

Looking ahead

Cemali Sertel faces his old club

Hatayspor next, and one man in the Corum FK dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The dugout

Oğuz Gürbulak knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Corum FK, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Joseph Attamah has seen what the next man earns

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at Corum FK that is a harder question to answer.
