Market

Stefan Savić has said yes to Gaziantep

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

Market

Trabzonspor turn down Adana Demirspor for Ernest Muçi

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

Market

Salih Malkoçoğlu turns Gagra down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Mohamed Salah yet — 8.47

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.47 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Transfer targets

Trabzonspor rebuffed over Jackson Muleka

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

Match

Trabzonspor find a way past Eyupspor

Eyupspor made Trabzonspor work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Sidny Lopes Cabral

Defensive actions: 19. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Player ratings

Ernest Muçi was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.04. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Tempers go at Trabzonspor

Noah Saviolo 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.

In brief
