Squad

A one-man rearguard from Aydın Bağ

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Kürşat Küçük 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 Adana Demirspor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Matías Verdún

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words at Adana Demirspor training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luis Ángel Mendoza 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

Too much change too quickly at Adana Demirspor

11 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Match

Honours even between Adana Demirspor and Besiktas

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

A move Pijus Širvys 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. Pijus Širvys is living that version at Adana Demirspor, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Murat Eser stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Murat Eser and Adana Demirspor agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Adana Demirspor

Mamuka Kobakhidze 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.

Market

Luis Ángel Mendoza brings the grey hairs Adana Demirspor lacked

At 36, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Market

Adana Demirspor bring in an old head

Aydın Bağ is 33 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.
