The knee: Semih Unal out for 20 days

20 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Sakaryaspor lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market19 Aug 2030

Tiago Simoni asks to leave Sakaryaspor

“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.

Market19 Aug 2030

Tiago Simoni is on his way

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

The dugout19 Aug 2030

Cengiz Demir keeps the receipts

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

Squad19 Aug 2030

Words exchanged at Sakaryaspor

Tiago Simoni 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.

The dugout19 Aug 2030

Deniz Dönmezer back under a manager who knows him

The new man at Sakaryaspor has worked with Deniz Dönmezer before and it went well. He arrives with a view of the player already formed, which is worth more than any pre-season.

The dugout19 Aug 2030

Deniz Dönmezer 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.

Match17 Aug 2030

Bodrum FK take the points off Sakaryaspor

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Loan watch19 Aug 2030

Hasan Ege Akdoğan has seen enough of Alanyaspor

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Sakaryaspor, and 1 appearances in 10 say he has earned the hearing.

The knee: Semih Unal out for 27 days

27 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Sakaryaspor lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Sakaryaspor sell a favourite for $2.2M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Turaç Böke was one of the reasons people came, and $2.2M does not replace that by itself.

Market12 Aug 2030

Paulo Brito asks to leave Sakaryaspor

“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.

Market12 Aug 2030

Sakaryaspor sell Turaç Böke for $2.2M

Turaç Böke has left for Basaksehir in a $2.2M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad12 Aug 2030

A falling-out at Sakaryaspor

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

Boardroom12 Aug 2030

5 academy graduates step up at Sakaryaspor

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad12 Aug 2030

A row about effort at Sakaryaspor

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Tiago Simoni was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout12 Aug 2030

Deniz Dönmezer back under a manager who knows him

The new man at Sakaryaspor has worked with Deniz Dönmezer before and it went well. He arrives with a view of the player already formed, which is worth more than any pre-season.

Market12 Aug 2030

One of our own: Sinan Ozil joins the Sakaryaspor first team

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

A fracture rules Paulo Brito out for 62 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Sakaryaspor will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The dugout13 Aug 2029

Özkan Yiğiter keeps the receipts

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

Market13 Aug 2029

Alanyaspor come back empty-handed

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

Transfer targets13 Aug 2029

Julián Alfonso is a medical away from Sakaryaspor

The deal with Istanbulspor 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.

Transfer targets13 Aug 2029

Too dear: Sakaryaspor walk away from Arif Boşluk

$410.0K was the most the club would pay and Konyaspor were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market13 Aug 2029

The Sergio Peña conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Kayserispor will make the call about Sergio Peña this week. Sakaryaspor have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Boardroom13 Aug 2029

Graduation day at Sakaryaspor

8 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad13 Aug 2029

Sergio Peña 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.

Squad13 Aug 2029

Mete Kaan Demir in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Sakaryaspor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
